Stairway Will Link Five Floors of Law Offices

A five-story stairway will connect the new law offices of McKenna, Conner & Cuneo, designed by the Los Angeles office of Gensler Associates/Architects.

The stairway rising from the elevator lobby is a new design approach for modern buildings, the architect said, and serves an important function in unifying the offices.

The law firm will occupy five floors of the fully renovated building at 444 S. Flower St. that once housed the Wells Fargo Bank. The interior construction contractor is Illig Construction Co., Los Angeles, and Jordan Associates is the project consultant.
