bureaux patrimoniaux

English translation: family office

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: bureaux patrimoniaux
"Eclairage d’ambiance par gorges lumineuses le long des façades ou par appliques, pour les bureaux patrimoniaux."

This is all the context I have. It's a document providing a technical description of an office building and I can't figure out what type of offices they're talking about here. Could it be a family office or something similar?

Explanation:
I think you could be right, Mary, as the term crops up hundreds of times on Google in the context of wealth management:
"Family offices remove the complications from managing assets and are particularly attractive for families with significant wealth and considerable reporting requirements."
