Welcome to the Law Offices of Fun, Quirky, and Whimsical

Just because you’re a law firm doesn’t mean your headquarters have to be stuffy and boring. Take Axiom Law. The NYC-based law firm throws out every idea you had about law firms and prides itself on thinking outside the box with a non-traditional way of doing business. To complement that, they needed an office space that reflected their ideals, so they hired BHDM Design to make it happen. Located in the historic Puck Building, the space was a huge empty white loft that became the colorful, modern setting you see here.
