One building, three interiors

Is it just me, or does it appear like throughout the series Wolfram & Hart has gone through three entirely different interirors. There was one from the start up untill the Beast killed everyone, then there was a new white interior in 4.22 Home, and finally, in Season 5 there was yet another completly different interior, which seemed much much smaller as the previous two and which in that sense, didn't really fit with the exterior of the building.
 
I noticed that, too. Always wondered what the deal was with that, especially the huge difference between Home and Conviction. Unless the interiors shown in s5 were meant as a small part of the W&H complex, you know? Like just the executive offices. And the lobby shown in Home is the main lobby for the whole building.

I think it might be something like that. Otherwise it's really strange how such an massive building could turn into such a small place. But then again wouldn't the place where Lindsey and Lilah had their offices be the same place that Angel in his guys got theirs?

Well well I guess there's no answer to this question it's just one of those accept it.
 
The building was 50(?give or take) storey SkyScraper.
Then you add to the fact that its floors equal a hieractical position.
When Lindsay got his new office in at the end of season 1 Holland Manners states he is moving upstairs. SO CEO Angel is obviously going to be on the Top Floor.
I really dont see any mistake in the show, just a lack of basic logic in the thread.
Season 1-4(Habeas Corpus) because we see only the minions we only see the working lower offices.
Home we get to see the new updates full Building Lobby then some of the staff/CEO office.
Conviction to Not Fade Away see the CEO level Office Lobby and all the Offices on that Level(of course the AI taem would be on the same floor as Angel....not just convenience, but also so the group would feel safer together).

Yeah, you'd think so.....maybe Special Projects was in another wing or something! Heh....we could sit her coming up with plausible excuses forever, I bet!
 
Of course there's the real explanation that the lobbies seen earlier were rented for filming but that the set had to be built for season 5, but far be it from me to inject a note of realism 😀

Ah, but realism gets in the way of good fantasy television! 😉

I do think that there is a good reason behind why the interiors looked so different and DDM summed it up quite nicely.

The fact that the building had changed so much when we saw it again in Home is no surprise. The place had been trashed and the staff had been slaughtered. No surprise that they decided that a fresh coat of paint was needed, hehe.

As for the second new look for season five, well pretty much what has been said before. The part of the building we saw in Home was mostly the lobby and lower levels whereas we probably spent most of season five on the Exec level, at the top of the building. The fact that Angel ended up in a different office to the one Lilah offered him is no surprise either. Would you choose to stay in the exact office that the bad guys had picked out for you? Hardly likely! 😀
 
I much preferred the later sets they apparently built for WR&H vs the rented(?) early season locales. When the art directors have complete control, they go nuts and can really focus on setting mood with furniture, lighting, wall colors...seemed like there were more daytime, daylight shots early on at WR&H. Later on, it always seemed to be night. I know that's patially plot related, but...
 
hasnt it changed four times? In season one it looked a lot different, around season 3 up till the beast massacre it was different, in home it was different again and then in s5 it was new again!
 
Ok, the last one in season 5 was from after the Beast destroyed W&H practically. Thats the remade one. They only show certain ares during the earlier seasons.
