Krungthai  card  Public  co  ltd  (Ktc)  is  a  credit  card  company which was  initially a  subsidiary of Krungthai Bank  - thailand’s largest  government  bank.  after  privatisation,  Ktc’s  direction is  to  provide “friendly  and  dynamic  service”  to  customers  and establish a brand new corporate image completely different to its former conservative approach under public perception.KTC occupies five floors at UBC II Tower. It includes ground floor, 11th, 14th, 15th, and 23rd floor. The ground floor is a boutique shop/customer service centre, the 23/F is the executive floor, while the rest are office floors with workstations and meeting rooms accommodating approximately 150 staff on each floor.the  corporation  has  targeted  its  customers  at  the  young generation between the ages of 20 and 35. therefore,  the total concept  -  from the  interior design to working attire  - has been transformed to reflect this hip and trendy image.

P Interior & Associates Co. Ltd.

Krungthai Card Public Co Ltd (KTC)是一家信用卡公司,以前是隶属于泰国最大的国家银行──泰京银行。实行私有化后,KTC采取了新的品牌策略,把提供「充满活力而亲切」的服务作为发展的方向,并力图扭转公众心目中国有产业作风守旧的既有印象。

KTC占用了UBC II Tower五层的面积,包括地面层、11层、14层、15层及23层。地面层有一家时尚店和客户服务中心;23楼是行政层;而其余楼层则是备有工作站与会议室的办公空间,每层可容纳约150名员工。

公司把市场目标及重点服务对象锁定在20到35岁的年轻客户群,因此公司的室内设计以至员工制服的总体概念也转换成一个更为新潮吸引的形像。

开放的布局、动感的曲线、鲜艳的色彩、光亮透明的环境、灵活的空间规划和照明都是本专案的主要设计元素,并且一一呈现在最早接触顾客的地面层中:于「魔术照明」的辉映下,入口发光门廊与客户服务中心内圆形天花的颜色在绿、蓝、粉红等色彩中不停变换。圆的主题象征著统一、团结,同时也意味著这里是举行一系列商业活动的场所。DJ站、小食店、活动区及时尚店内穿上休闲牛仔裤和T恤、精神抖擞的年轻员工,更加强了「活力而亲切」的氛围。

在「魔术照明」的辉映下,入口处发光门廊的颜色会自动变换。With  ‘magic  lighting’,  the  lit  tunnel  at  the  entrance  changes  colour  automatically.

Open interior with dynamic curves, bright colour accents, well-lit and translucent environment, flexibility in space planning and illumination are the major design vocabularies. This is revealed at the very front of the ground floor. With “magic lighting”, the colour of the tunnel at the entrance and the circular ceiling in the customer service centre changes from blue to green to pink, etc. The circular motif represents uniformity and togetherness and it reminds customers that a wide range of business function takes place here. The DJ booth, refreshment corner, and event area staffed with young and pleasant employees in casual attire like jeans and T-shirts at the boutique shop further enhance the “friendly and dynamic” ambience.

Every design conveys a message. For the interior design of an office, what the designers should do is to bring out the character or the image of the company. When we talk about the design concept of  Grip’s  new  office,  it  would  be  to  create  a  space  that  inspires and  fosters  creativity  for  those  working  within  the  space.  how can  creativity  be  expressed  within  the  lexicon  of  architecture? The  designer’s  solution  was  threefold  and  it  began  with  the interpretation of creativity, and that creativity is activated by the exchange of ideas. Architecturally, they are the creation of a collection of formal and informal meeting spaces throughout the agency offering variegated spatial experiences; that the path towards these spaces is an enjoyable

一个设计传递著一个信念。对于一个办公室的室内设计,设计师们该做些什么才能充分地体现出公司的个性与形象呢?当设计师们谈论到Grip新办公室的设计理念时,它应该是一个可以激发和培养员工创作力的空间。然而,怎样才能将创作力用建筑学的角度表达出来?设计师的答案是立体三维化,这将会由创作力所带动,而这股创作力受意念交流所带动。

建筑上,这些设计是集合了正式与非正式会面空间的突破;通往办公室的小路便是耐人寻味的一个空间,戏剧性的设计理念使室内和室外的装饰材料、元素之间模糊不清的界线变得一目了然。

平台从外表上,功用上都将两层主要的楼层连接起来,也就是第五、六两层。一个双层高度的空间形成了一个主要的聚集区或休息区,并且可以让人流垂直上下移动。除了楼梯连接著露天看台,还有连接位于北墙两个层数的创作室的滑梯和消防竿,也有促进人流垂直移动的功能。

滑梯成为了Grip公司的一大标志。令人更喜出望外的是,滑梯通过办公室提供了一个带动物体的宝贵经验。这就有如比喻Grip的信念,非常著重创作的过程。创作过程好比航行一样,整个过程的重要性不少于发现目的地。创作的成果重要,过程也必须要让人享受。

露天看台上的座位用热卷钢以及染色胡桃木镶板造成,为大型的会议、电影的播放提供了聚集的场所,也成为携带型电脑族工作的好去处。

会面或休息地方设计得像一热水浴池,可容下10人。人们会面时可以进入池中围成一圈交谈,这种开放的坐位编排有助纾缓客户心中的顾虑,对付难缠的客户最适用。

一个源自啤酒客户的灵感,电冰箱是正式的董事会议室。不锈钢的外表,内部则由白色的人造磨砂玻璃装饰,用以隔音。

The  hot  tub  can  accommodate  up  to  10  persons  and  the circular  form  of  seating  brings  out  a  casual  atmosphere. It  becomes  a  great  place  to  disarm  difficult  clients.

The atrium is  intended to visually and functionally  link the two principal  floor  areas,  the  fifth  and  sixth,  with  a  double-height space  within  which  the  major  gathering/lounging  and  vertical movement  would  occur.  With  a  staircase  associated  with  the bleacher seating, vertical movement  is also provided by a slide and fire-pole connecting the creative offices located on two levels at the north wall. The slide has become the adopted symbol of Grip. Surprisingly exhilarating, the slide provides one of many unique experiences of movement through the office and is a metaphor for the agency’s belief in the importance of the creative process, a methodology centred on the notion that the voyage is as vital as the destination - and that it should be an enjoyable one.Constructed by folded hot-rolled steel and stained walnut veneer, the bleachers provide a gathering space for full office meetings, film presentations and an alternative workplace with a laptop.This meeting/lounge area was designed to resemble a hot tub for 10 persons. Detailed to provide the experience of entering into a small pool combined with the circular (democratic) format of the seating, this area has often been utilized to disarm the most difficult clients.A  reference  to  their  beer  clientele,  the  “fridge”  is  the  formal boardroom. Clad in stainless steel, the interior is finished with white synthetic glass in resemblance of frosting for sound absorption.

Westpac Place新办公室的设计理念围绕垂直城市这一比喻而展开:可形容为城市典范。成功的城市能激发及促进交流,它们特征显著,具有多样性。其公共区域交通发达又先进,这些条件都有利于互动、交流和生产。设计的方式就是要将这些特点融入工作环境中,因为5,000人的强大人口所形成的社区远远大于多数村镇。

此外,公共区的理念进而体现在为整幢大厦提供了网路——该系统将整个社区连接起来。主要入口、电梯大堂、转换层、和连接的共用区一起构成了大厦公共区域的起点。提高大厦整体性的关键因素是大胆提出计画,运用开放和连续的楼梯将27层楼从上至下有效连接起来。这座楼梯也成为垂直城市的街道系统,正如在现实城市中一样,它将重要和次要的回圈网路联系起来。整幢大厦的楼梯在物理和视觉上都起著连接作用,鼓励人们不用电梯也可在各个楼层间走动。同时,它也强化了联系性和社区的凝聚力。

楼梯建在Kent Street Tower里面,由于围栏增多,城市地平线限制了景色,Kent Street Tower楼梯不仅增添了本设计的视觉效果,同时也为城市典范的实施提供了中坚力量。

The work floors are grouped into “quarters” as occur in a city and a series of key destinations are threaded throughout the building to act as attractors and events bringing a richness to the experience of the workplace.

With contrasting lighting, a stunning effect is created. In addition, circles and Chinese elements such as calligraphy, figures of Buddha, and red and gold paint finishing are utilized to symbolize the regional distinction of this China branch. A slight touch of post-modernism is employed to balance off tradition and modernity. After all, an excessively traditional atmosphere does not fit the business nature of a high-tech company.

高科技企业的办事处,一般都会运用大量的钢材、玻璃等去表现超时代的质感和速度感,又或以「科幻」、「视觉效果」作为设计的核心概念;Provision Inc却相反,客户希望其办公室如同高级的会所,不单能用来招待客人,甚至要富有艺廊的氛围。这要求跟一间从事网络科技及卫星相关产业的公司似乎并不吻合,故设计师也一改以往的设计逻辑常规,不考虑客户的过去、现在和未来、企业文化与形像,而单纯的从「艺廊会所」出发。在平面规划上,没有太多的巧思和创意,注意力集中在功能上的合理化、空间的使用排序及装饰上。

入口的构图把公司的招牌和接待柜台结合,造成了圆形图案和企业商标合并的立体画面,加上灯光反差,产生了一定的震撼力。此外,设计师利用圆圈及富中国特色的元素,诸如中国书法、佛像、红底金漆的粉饰等,展现了作为企业的中国分行所应有的区域性差异。设计略带后现代风格,务求在传统与现代中取得平衡,毕竟,过于传统难以让人联想到公司高科技的业务性质。

会客室也不再是单纯洽谈商务的地方,而是品酒、喝咖啡和闲聊的场所。架高的地台内安装了上射灯,形如一个灯箱,以突显空间的重要性,加上清雅的布置、舒适的沙发和软垫,营造出惬意的会议空间。为了确保接待处的整体性,毗邻的主管办公室的门口特意造成暗门。私密的办工区围著绕开放的公共空间,并清晰地划分流动线的界限。

灯光安排亦有别于开敞、明亮的常用方式,设计师将整体亮度调低,只把重点照明投射到墙上的装饰和艺术品之上。就一个「艺廊办公室」或「办公室会所」而言,如此的方案与别不同,设计师更从而对办公室设计及规划有了新的认知和思维。

楼高两层的AGL中心可容纳380人,是该公司办公室设计的参考标准。公司的策略是从传统供应商转型为以客户为先的零售商,因此工作环境要进行彻底的修整,以适应公司未来迅捷灵活的发展需求。

如何充分利用景观和自然光是规划时的最大考量。大部分的建设要不远离建筑核心而置,就是朝向中央中庭,以方便员工在开放的布局中使用各种设施。根据客户要求,四种形式的工作区得以确立:密封式、开放管理式、开放行政式和开放标准式。设计师采用了标准型120度的工作站,只要加入单元组件便可扩大工作站的面积。除此,灵活的办公桌方便了跨州到访的团队和来宾在主办公区里工作。非开放式工作区和安静的房间采用闲据特定空间的模件系统。所有这些元素带出灵活多变的活动布置、设施的面积和组合构成,能满足业务扩展、结构改变、坚固稳定和持久耐用的需求。

除特定工作区外,各处还有其他富个性和特色的空间,而多样性的装置更方便了员工之间的合作和交流。

中心区是一个多用途空间,包括了会客室、主会议室、中央中庭、公共咖啡座和尽享阿德莱德山美景的户外阳台。它取代了传统的前厅 接待区,并成为办公室里交流和合作的心脏地带。这里为多功能灯光墙所环绕,墙体可以「扣入」白色媒体板、数码平面萤幕、记录板和桌子等设施。三个会客室间的隔板可以拆卸,合成一个与中庭相连的完整空间,提供了可举行300人参与的活动场地。该区微微地呈现出零售和招待的意念,但它同时是非常实用的,并缔造出充满活力和动感的工作空间。

Viewing Pod是一具架高的红色插入式结构,在一楼处显得非常醒目。使用者身处其中,既可尽情欣赏优美的景致,在放松的同时,也在视觉和听觉上保持与工作区的联系。Yellow Pod则是专为学习和讨论而设的封闭式空间,里面有各式齐全的IT培训设备。

Chill Out Lounge是一个可尽览室外景色的极佳休闲空间。这里采用了柔软的纹理和色彩,以及家居般的布置,视觉上与办公室相对独立,人们在这里可以暂时离开忙碌紧张的工作环境,好好养精蓄锐。

这个充满活力的全新工作环境能让员工们开放地交流和分享创意,充满干劲地向目标进发,并油然而生一份对公司的归属感和自豪感。

Access to views and natural light are the primary drivers in planning the facility. The majority of the built environment is placed off the core or towards the central atrium allowing most employees full access to the amenity in the open plan layout. Four kinds of workstations are identified within the strategic brief: fully enclosed, open management, open administration, and open standard. Using the standard 120-degree footprint, component parts could be added to create the evolved footprints, i.e. a standard work point could be enlarged by simply adding modules to it. Flexi-desks are introduced so that interstate teams and visitors can be housed within the main office area. A modular system occupying a consistent space is applied to fully enclosed workstations and quiet rooms. All these suggest a versatile blend of activity settings as well as size and configurations of infrastructure space to support growth, structural changes, low impact churn and optimum durability.In  addition  to  the  dedicated  work  zone,  spaces  with  individual identities/personalities  are  distributed  throughout  the  facility to  provide  alternative  settings  for  collaboration  and  casual interaction.The Hub is a multipurpose space including meeting area, main conference room, central atrium, communal cafe seating, and outdoor terrace that provides an agreeable view of the surrounding Adelaide Hills. It replaces the traditional front of house/reception area and becomes the social and collaborative working heart of the office. The space is framed by an illuminated multi-functional wall that can “click in” amenities such as white and media boards, flat digital screens, set down shelves, and drop in desks. The partitions of the three meeting rooms are completely operable allowing the entire space to connect as one with the atrium, accommodating functions for up to 300 people. This zone is designed with subtle reference to Ground floor plan 1/F floor plan

J Walter Thompson 马尼拉总部位于马加提街中心的企业大楼29和30楼。设计的要求是要将占地18,000平方尺的办公楼建构成一个能激发灵感、让员工发挥创意、提高效率、使管理层和员工都满意的一个工作场所。新址虽然较原来的办公室小,但是设计师大量使用当地材料,用最少的成本获得最佳效果,营造出宽敞,明亮的环境。

广告公司给予人的第一印象最为关键,因此一个风格独特、时尚现代的接待区是必要的。设计师打通了两层楼板且设置了一道螺旋形楼梯,楼梯沿著接待区的墙向上盘旋,并由墙面上放大了的公司名字烘托著。不规则型的接待椅配合了高科技现代感,同时与室内清爽的白石装潢互相映衬。

办公环境著重功能与美感的结合,精选的家具体现了此大型国际广告公司的风范。Philippe Starck设计的饰面与黑白条纹Vitra椅为会议室增添了整齐的线条美。位于楼上中央,员工们称做「肺中心」的创作区具有容纳30人的会议设施,既是非正式会议间,又是吸烟区和休息娱乐区:。Tom Arad设计的白色椅子舒适宜人,能激发创作灵感,鼓励自由交谈。从这里可以俯视螺旋楼梯、接待区和入口处全景。

新颖的绿色玻璃墙取代了普通的白板。开放式布局鼓励员工交流。低矮的隔墙扩大了员工个人的工作空间,而部门之间则由一些自然的「思考中心区」分隔。「思考中心区」内色彩明亮,加上超大的椅子和玩具能启发创意、增加团队凝聚力。绿色玻璃板除了用来把灵感纪录下来之外,还有效地遮挡了大量的储存物。

为创作人做设计是一件难事,而香港innovation成功创造了独特的工作间,不仅体现了客户眼里公司的现代和革新形像,还为员工提供了富激励性的工作环境。

创达.维森设计机构Vincent Space Design

A&H是一家专业生产包装盒及印刷制品的跨国企业,在中国的深圳、青岛等设有生产基地,而亚洲区总部则设在东莞。

东莞总部的建筑外观是由美国一家建筑事务所设计,风格雷同于其他分行。企业倡导高效的、易维护的、低能源的运作模式。在室内,设计师张星(Vincent)尝试演绎一个没有装饰的纯粹空间,即墙是墙,顶是顶,地是地,柱是柱⋯⋯于是,天花就只有风口和灯具点缀,墙面只有材质的变化,柱子只有形态的改变。

建筑可视为一种盒子,一种收纳形形色色的事物、活动,甚至情感的容器。「给生产盒子的人一些盒子,似乎是一种幽默,但还有什么比这更合适的呢?」Vincent说。盒子以不同的形态呈现在建筑容器中,它们被拉展、挤压、交错、堆砌,或成线,或成面,井然有序,予人层次丰富的美感。

平面上的四个盒子把空间划分为入口、接待、企业标志及会议。在建筑容器中,设计师透过一个有形的盒子(即用玻璃墙间隔出的会议室),用最简单的方法勾勒出另外三个无形的盒子(其余三个空间),然后再赋予它们色彩与光影,促其绽放。

Vincent认为黑白等同无色彩,广泛地运用黑与白,正好烘托出蓝色的冷静与红色的热闹。光影在空间中穿梭,在黑与白的背幕上,涂上无尽色彩,更凸现了空间的轮廓。

一家服装销售公司新建的公司总部,面积有500平方米。这个专案的设计理念便是「建筑中的建筑」,因此,需要重新考虑办公室与建筑结构之间的关系。公共空间被当作在总办公室范围之中的另一个外在范围。空间由一条不断延伸的狭长地带弯曲折叠而成,把分散且不同的分工部门连系起来,原料会在那里变成制品。

仓库、生产、管理、销售都集中在运作与空间之间那条模糊不清的界线上。这个情况让空间更集中、更有凝聚力,也营造出一种积极的工作气氛。

这个500平方米的空间是时装分销及展览厅。其他设备还包括装卸码头、行政办公室、更衣室、会议室以及展览厅。

设计师的办事处总是让人觉得与别不同,不同在于它并不像人们所认为的、常见的那种办公室,而本地著名设计师陈幼坚(Alan Chan)的办公室就是一个好例子。

甫进入口处,你会不期然地怀疑自己有没有走错地方,去了一间画廊,因为就在门口及水泥饰面的接待台上便摆放了好几件雕塑。接待处连接著一个小型展廊,是Alan特意开发的一个展览空间,让新晋艺术家展示他们的作品。这并不是一个公共场所,因为在去参观之前,你必须要先行预约,虽然如此,这无疑是艺术家们展示作品的一个新展台。平时这里会陈列Alan的一些平面设计及装置艺术作品。

毗连接待区有两间会议室,一大一小,由两扇厚厚的木趟门及一米宽的玻璃墙分隔,既可以拉趟木门把空间完完全全隔开,又或留下玻璃墙让两边的用者可以相视。会议室里的木几上陈设了好几件艺术品,加上古朴的木椅,散发出一点点尔雅的东方韵味。

这所六千尺的办公室可容纳二十多人。董事的办公室和会计及客户推广部沿一列玻璃窗布置,尽享无敌的维港景色。开放式的创作间只用几块低矮而古典的屏风分出区域,空间开扬。董事办公室和创作间相对,并由一条长走廊分界,走廊两端分别陈设了一个红色的古董柜和一尊佛像。

Alan相信人与人的交往是会产生声音、触觉等一些感受,故他在房间与走廊之间的墙脚上采用了玻璃,让房内外的人都可以看到在另一个空间里活动的人们,感受到彼此的存在。

因为创作人的工作时间长,而且他们需要一个富启发性的空间,所以相对于一般办公室的氛围这里更见轻松、惬意,像家一样。Alan收集自各国的收藏品,有木造的、有青铜的、有宗教味浓的雕像,还有其他一些艺术品随意摆放在书柜上、矮几上,到处可见,就像一个富有品味的人家的居室;白色的墙和水泥地面,再配合柔和的灯光,一方面溢发出家的温馨写意感觉,冲淡了工作间那种繁忙的气息,另一方面这些具不同特质的摆设成为设计师灵感之源,随时诱发出设计师们的创意。

So compared to the common office, the atmosphere here is freer and more comfortable, just like home. Alan collects things from all over the world, some wood, some bronze, some religious sculptures, and some artworks. They are put freely on the bookshelf, or the low table, or anywhere, just like in a tasteful person’s own house. On one hand, the white wall and cement floor, plus the soft light, create a comfortable and enjoyable “homey” feeling, which softens the busy atmosphere of the studio. On the other hand, the special ornaments become the source of inspiration for designers, helping to generate new ideas.

时装公司CLOSED新总部的规划蕴含著对员工惯常工作环境完全重组的意义。办公结构分隔为很多迷宫般、且富有Hamburg-Eppendorf后院氛围的小房间。

占地面积达1,400平方米的新总部位于近期复兴的Hamburg-Falkenried,由一个旧街车仓库(建于1900年左右)改建而成。它包括设计部门、生产部门的开放式办公空间、两个新展览房、公司管理层办公室、行销区、薄记区和一个新的会议区、公共区和一个两层的接待厅。

由于原有建筑的主要光线来自中心的采光井而不是建筑正面,所以设计师把空间设计成开放的办公室(德国建筑办公空间的理念是尽可能为每个员工提供最多的自然光线和通风效果)。

客户希望开放的空间能将设计和生产部门、展示厅以及拥有28名管理、行销和薄记工作人员的独立办公空间融合起来。这个要求成为空间设计上的一个主要的挑战。设计师决定这样解决难题:在大厅中安放两个长“盒子”来增加私人办公空间。一楼用作簿记和行销区,夹楼层的一侧安置了展览室和管理人员办公室,而设计部门正好在另一侧。

另一个问题在于夹楼层上旧钢梁以下的2.4米高度。设计师将地面上的盒子间隔再次划分为三份,使之脱离了自由移动于间隔各部位间的横梁。所以,办公室间隔是真正独立的,为这座旧结构的建筑赋予学术的气氛。

除了大厅间隔的放置,内部的房间与开阔的设计师空间都进行了隔音处理。在夹楼层办公室的对面,设计师创造了一面储藏墙,与办公室的设计原理相同。墙壁上有下垂的扶手和放置两个完整的时装设计收藏搁板。储藏墙可以向后打开,使得以往拥挤的生产部门呈现出宁静之感。一楼的功能区(包括厨房、浴室和打印室)也都设计成盒子间隔,全部都镶有橡木贴边的白色光滑面板。

原有空间的厚重感被明快的色彩理念所取代。旧街车仓库的工业特性得以保留,同时开放式空间随处可见的凹凸地面装饰也突出了该特点(发光的酸酐灰浆)。所有家俱元素都精致细巧,与街车仓库的粗糙特质交相辉映。时而哑光、时而亮泽的白色阴影,浅灰和自然上油的橡木是这个空间的主色调。

整个设计中,室内设计与家私设计的界限很模糊。

As the old listed building gets the main daylight from an areaway in the centre and not from the façades, the space is obviously laid out for open-plan offices (the German building codes for office space  arrogate  natural  daylight  and  ventilation  for  each  single employee). So, one of the main challenges in designing the space was the client’s wish for a mixture of an open floor plan area for the design, production department, and the showrooms, plus single office spaces for about 28 people in management, marketing, and bookkeeping. The designers decided to solve the problem by adding the private office spaces in two furniture-like long “boxes” located at the hall; the ground floor is reserved for bookkeeping and marketing, and the mezzanine level houses the showrooms and management personnel where the designers’ space is right across the other wing.Another  problem  that  has  to  be  resolved  is  the  height  of  2.4  m underneath  the  old  steel-beams  on  the  mezzanine  level. The designers  have  created  the  shelved “box”  on  the  floor  in  three subdivisions,  detached  from  the  beams  that  are  now  running freely  in  between  the  box-parts.  So  the “office-boxes”  are  really free standing, giving the image of dissertation to the old structure of the building. Despite the object-like placement of boxes in the hall, the rooms inside are acoustically separated from the large designers space. On the mezzanine floor opposite to the office boxes, the designers invented a storage wall with hanging rails and shelves for two whole fashion design collections using the same design principles like the office box. The storage wall can be opened to the back; and that gives a calm appearance towards the usually busy design at the production area. Functional space on the ground floor (including the kitchen, bathroom, and copy room) is again added to the hall in a furniture-

like box; they are all cladded in glossy white panels with oak wood seams.The industrial character of the old streetcar depot is maintained and underlined by a rough floor finish all over the open spaces (glazed anhydride mortar). All furniture elements are fine detailed and  in  contrast  to  the  rough  character  of  the  streetcar  depot hall. The heaviness of the old space was taken away by a bright colour  concept.  Different  shades  of  white  (sometimes  matte and sometimes glossy), light grey, and naturally oiled oak wood dominate the space.The limits between interior design and furniture design are blurred.

这个专案要求设计简单而灵活的办公室设施,为年轻的员工创制出轻松愉悦的工作环境。

商店的自动玻璃门后的楼梯通往上层的办公室。甫进办公室,排列整齐的白色玻璃和黑色镜面橱柜立刻映入眼帘,明晰地划分开走道与工作区的范围。镜子是公共区域的主要物料,反映出人的活动,并且扩阔了走廊的空间。沿走廊而行,可以强烈感受到视觉的连贯感、虚实的交织,以及勾勒出后方工作区的镜面橱柜所呈现的反射特色。

办公室的两个主要部门──行政部及设计部──被分别置于L形布局的两翼,这里大量采用中密度纤维板和软木板等带原始气息的物料,与行人通道形成强烈的对比。

在楼层的角位,单面反光镜墙围拢出高级行政人员的办公室;镜墙既不阻隔视线,又同时提供了私密性。

深入办公室后方,一道楼梯通往楼下双层高的研讨室及董事长办公室。董事长办公室一侧是单面反光玻璃墙,让董事长既可俯瞰楼下的店面,而又不会让室外的人窥见办公室内的情景。一般而言,流动线的末端都是死胡同,但在这里,设计师构思出「回环形」的流动线,访客从楼下店铺进入办公室,走到路线的尽头处又可俯瞰入口区。

修长的空间同时意味著自然光线的不足,因此办公室后方用玻璃围起的庭院意在尽量引入更多的日光。原有的庭院空间分作两部分,其中一部分用来建造天窗,以为研讨室带来充沛的自然光。

简单的布局在对比鲜明的材质映衬下,显得焕然一新:白色玻璃和黑色镜子相互呼应,还有中密度纤维板橱柜、软木板、雪白的墙壁、现有结构上的灰色水泥防火层和深灰色自流平地台。各种物料的应用根据空间的等级层次,以标志出办公室内的不同区域:工作区采用粗犷的原材料,公共流动区以镜子作粉饰,而行政和董事长办公区则选用单面反光玻璃。整个办公室因此成为了充满反影、灯光和透明感等各项效果的有趣媒介,一个简单而活泼的工作环境亦由此而生。

秉承新近完成位于深圳蛇口的办公室之设计理念,香港办事处的设计对「原著」进行延伸,创造了一个更为精密的环境。

该办公室和蛇口的一样,都采用了柔和细致的色彩,以及混凝土和MDF板上的素雅色调。这些富泥土气息的色彩反映了「易道」作为一所公共空间/城市设计公司的本质。

通常摆放在建筑后部的物件如灯箱现都设置在中央,当作成引人注目的灯光装置。与其他色调朴实的区域不同,粉刷了黄色的茶水间就像从走廊上的斜墙后散发出光彩来。

主会议室是一个开放的空间,但可以按需要把落地窗帘拉上,将其遮闭起来。两个更小的会议室仿如置于白色立方体内,而周围的墙壁都修饰得非常细腻。整个空间高雅的格调掩饰了其吃紧的预算。

In

This inspired me to take the history of the castle as my point of departure in designing the interior and to place modern objects inside the medieval architectural elements.

B2B位于荷兰马斯垂克,是间平面设计公司,它年轻、有活力、富于创新,设计出许多时尚具魅力且高质量的平面图案。这些设计师们的时髦、青春活力与公司的传统、古老且淳朴的风格形成强烈的对比,也正因为这对比成为了设计师们创作的源泉。

建筑物前身是堡垒,其后曾经一度变为修道院,经历数年,成为圣徒施礼集会的场所和监禁犯人的所在地。现在,年轻时尚的新生代在这里工作,他们隔著古老厚重的城墙传播著数位时代的讯息。城堡古老的历史文化成为了室内设计创作的源泉,激发著员工将当代时尚的元素带进中世纪古老的建筑中。

工作的地点由一间大的工作室、两间小房间以及两间房中间的大厅所组成。两间稍小的房间,其中一间涂成紫红色,可当作办公室或会议室;而另一间则漆上灰色,用作厨房,举行会议或甚至休闲区域。

进入最大的房间,两张大的白色办公桌,排成一直线并摆放在工作室中,将空间一分为二,中间留出一条小通道。在其中一张办公桌的一端摆放著一个高大的红色书架,而另一张则摆放著一个较细小的白色书架。看著这两张办公桌,让人不禁联想起城堡上的炮台、吊桥或是僧侣们用餐的餐桌。一个大的塔形木橱柜位于办公桌旁边,长长的条纹状天鹅绒披盖在柜门上。对面的一道墙绘上树的影子,知更鸟的身影站在树枝上。此外,一个真实的知更鸟闹钟悬挂在树影之上。

另外的两间房,大小相同、并排而列,位于大厅的另一端。两间房内都自天花而下悬挂著一个巨大的圆柱体。在那紫色调的房间,圆柱体于天花浮现,好似一座塔的部份。圆柱体无论与墙或天花的色调和材质都十分吻合,是整个办公室中不可或缺的一部分。

一张巨大的银白色办公桌/会议桌摆放于房间中央,正正在电灯底下。一个巨大的红色半透明状圆柱体悬挂在灰色调的房间中,看上去犹如一盏特大红色油灯悬挂在祭坛上空。因此,这个深灰色调的空间便成了厨房。灰色的墙面以及水泥地板四处渗透著那种小教堂般的气息,电灯中透出淡红色灯光,为整个房间增添一丝暖意。另外,房间的另一边是一堵巨大的木墙,看起来像极了古老的城门。

the  office  area  consists  of  a  large  workspace  and  two  smaller rooms separated from one another by a hall. One of the smaller rooms  is  purple-pink  in  colour  and  serves  as  the  office  and/or conference space, while the other is grey and serves as the kitchen/conference/relaxation area. Inside the larger workspace, there are two large white work tables set up in line so as to divide the area into two, with a passageway left open between the tables. At the end of one table there is a large red bookshelf, and at the end of the other is a smaller white bookshelf. The tables remind people of the castle’s fortifications and drawbridge, but are also reminiscent of the tables at which the monks ate in the refectory.next to the tables are a large tower-shaped wooden cabinet and a large cabinet panel covered by long velvet drapes in heraldic colours. On the opposite wall, there is a wall painting depicting the shadow of a tree with a cuckoo clock as an independent element in the branches. The two other rooms are identical in size and are located next to one another on the other side of the hallway. In both rooms, there is a very large cylinder suspended from the ceiling. In the purple room, it appears to emerge from the ceiling as the remains of a tower. The cylinder is of exactly the same colour and texture as the wall and ceiling and is therefore an integral part of its surroundings. in the middle of the room stands a large silver desk/conference table placed precisely beneath the lamp. a large red translucent cylinder  is  suspended  in  the  grey  room,  reminiscent  of  a  giant red oil lamp hanging above an altar, which, in this case is the dark grey kitchen unit. the grey walls and concrete floor reinforce the impression of a chapel, whereas the reddish glow from the lamp adds the element of warmth to the room. On one side, the room is closed off by a large wooden wall, which looks somewhat like an old castle gate.

Passing the reception lobby, there is a meeting room for 3 people; and in order to ensure a smooth flow of working procedures, the office stations are designed in special forms which resembles a windmill. Behind the meeting room is a place for resting; and behind that is the open workspace. Using the lake as the theme, the desks are connected to meet team requirements and maximize space flexibly.

面对项目空间实用面积只有210平方米,里面却需设置多个各有不同功能之空间,所以重新规划空间就成为设计大前提。这个项目主要以半透明,冷感及黑色物料作为主要应用,而形态上侧以流线形,弧形以及半开放式等较生动的表达手法作对比。整体色彩以黑、白、灰、红作为配合公司形象之色调,弧形以及流线形设计由电梯大堂起,经作为空间规划核心的会议室,一直贯通至开放式的工作间。

以设计工作背景及形象为考虑因素,设计师希望以轻松手法道出「著重沟通」之工作气氛,故此会议区以半开放式形态出现。 经过会客室后是一个3人用之会议室。为配合团队的工作流程,故设计出风车形之办公桌,会议区之背面设置休憩区。其后是开放式的工作间,以湖水作为概念,设计出一个连贯之工作间,同时也满足了团队的工作模式以及大大增加空间运用之灵活性。

由于这是一家设计公司的办公室,因此它要能反映公司的团队精神和创造力,同时要促进员工间之合作、激发起优秀的设计。办公室位于The Pageant的二、三楼。该大楼是一个新的演唱会和娱乐场所,而设计的灵感就是来自于「后台」,并且融合了帷幕、道具、金属器件、射灯等等,当然还包括舞台本身。

设计上主要面对的挑战包括:打造一个开放式的平面空间以促进交流与合作;使用令人振奋和独特的色彩及素材;发展一套用以高效地展示工程项目的陈列方式;提供充足的空间来储藏物料和文件。

这些问题都得到富创意的解决方案:高高的天花板、几乎没有分隔墙的开放式布局、精心设置和分隔的「私人」及「团体」工作区,这都能促进交流与合作。外露的金属固件和不锈钢强化了办公室的剧场效果。此外,计划书、图纸和物料都归档保存在定制的橱柜、工作台和文档中。摆放无用的档案和展板的储存架则隐藏在天鹅绒帷幕后,方便提取。

接待区有一张定制的桌子和仿剧场的帷幕。the  reception  area  features  a  custom-designed desk  and  theatrically  inspired  curtains.

测量是设计和建筑不可或缺的一部分,因此墙面上按英尺间距的红色记号便于设计师了解和确认空间的尺度。(Opposite page) Since measurements are an integral part  of  design  and  architecture,  red  markers  along the  wall  in  foot  intervals  make  it  easy  for  designers to  understand  spatial  dimensions  and  determine legibility.

Wall’s雪糕公司的办公室占地5,000平方尺,经重新装修后可容纳30人。客户要求办公室设有开放的工作环境及不同形式的会议空间,包括正式的会议室和随意的休息间。同时,室内要洋溢一种体现企业精神的开放自由气氛,并且和公司在全球进行的重塑品牌活动相呼应。办公室里没有一个传统的接待处,取而代之的是一个「品味吧」和陈列空间。

设计师将开放式的办公区沿周边布置,以引入最多的室外景观和自然光,另一方面把会议室和档案室等安排在核心处。由于预算的限制,整个办公室选用了米色自流平涂料铺装地面,同时省略了吊顶,并将开放的天花和设施漆成白色。墙面为白色层压胶板加不锈钢边框或白色灰泥面。办公桌采用了本地生产的浅灰色胶合板台面,配有电缆装置系统。色彩方面,设计师只选取企业品牌的颜色,用于档案柜、沙发、凳子、休息区内的隔屏和定制的办公桌隔板上。此外,公司近期宣传促销用的一系列海报亦如艺术品般随处可见。

会议室里的活动屏风造就了灵活多样的格局,透过改动屏风能将会议室分隔成更小的房间;而位于末端的玻璃墙亦可拉趟到一边,令进行中的各种活动或会议可以融入到开放式的办公区内。

「品味吧」。它亦是办公室的接待处。the tasting bar also acts as the reception area of the office.

For  interior designers, a budget conscious project means more than just a slogan, but a real challenge. To be “cost effective”, besides maximizing  the  existing  resources,  redeploying  inexpensive materials creatively are techniques for accomplishment.EDGE has chosen an aged commercial building when they decided to expand their office. With very generous headroom, the former tenant had created two levels in the rented space. Maintaining the mezzanine floor, the designer followed the existing four-bay grid structures and extracted two portions of the floor slab on the upper

edge in-house level, creating two double-volume void. Using the columns in the grid system in defining space, the lower level is divided into four zones while the mezzanine has two zones, each themed with varied colours and materials.

「穷得漂亮!」大概是一句戏言,但亦为低成本的项目下一个新的注脚。「平」,对设计师而言,并非口号,而是一个挑战。要减省成本,除了要尽量善用旧有的资源外,还得发掘平价的物料,再以创意改良及包装来满足自家的需求。

当EDGE决定要扩充办公空间,他们挑选了一幢旧式工商大厦。大厦楼底高,前租户已经将单位分为两层,设计师遂保留现存结构,只依循结构中的格子系统,将架高了的四间式夹层剔除其中两间的楼板,造成了两个双层高的中庭空间,然后根据格子式结构中柱子的排列,将下层分为四个区域及夹层两个区域,而每区所采用的物料与色彩主题相异。

下层的四个区域包括了前厅的等待 会议区、后部的两个设计组工作间,以及员工讨论区。前厅是来访者等待及举行会议的地方,红与黑在这双层高的空间中平分秋色:黑色营造了如同戏院的气氛,而红色散发出诱人的神秘感。一面软木板用来展示意念及张贴告示。为了节省成本,会议台是由一张乒乓球桌经喷上红色改装而成。沙发、会议台面及储物室的墙体均以红色加以突显,并且只有这些物件有聚光灯照射著,如是,在柔和的灯光下,即使需要投影,也不用关灯。当来访者甫进室内,即感受到其独特的氛围与一般办公室大相迳庭。

经过一道木造的「隧道」(两旁是书架)来到工作间。两个工作区之间是中空的讨论区,这里放置了一张从旧办事处搬来的长铁台,供设计师们翻开图样研究、讨论。围绕中庭的墙面及地上均铺盖了绿色地毯,营造出绿油油的环境。

夹层上设有行政部,及沿窗而置的董事长办公及会客区。行政部职员各分配了一个独立的、由中密度纤维板造的工作亭,这些木亭原来是为某客户特别设计的临时工作间,后来回收并沿用至今;员工们只需把闸门拉下便可拥有私密的空间。

董事长的工作间摆设了各色各样的椅子,活像一所迷你的椅子博物馆;尽头处是舒适、惬意的休息室,可供举行小型会议。上下层靠窗的区域多采用锌铁皮及涂上银色油漆等反光材料,以更有效地善用自然光。

下层前厅是来访者等待以及举行会议的地方,红与黑在这双层高的空间中平分秋色:黑色营造了如同戏院的气氛,而红色散发出诱人的神秘感。The  front  of  the  house  is  the  client’s  waiting  area and  space  where  meetings  are  conducted.  Red and  black  are  the  two  major  colours  used  in  this double-volume  space.  Black  creates  an  atmosphere which  resembles  the  cinema  while  red  projects mysterious  ambience.

The discussion area is furnished with a long steel desk from the old office. The walls and floor in this area are carpeted in green creating a green environment.The  upper  level  is  the  administration  office  and  the  director’s office. Administration staff are each supplied with an individual wooden  cubicle  made  of  MdF.  The  cubicles  were  temporary workstations specially designed for a client; and now they have become seclusive cubicles for employees.The director’s office showcases several unique chairs, resembling a small-scale chair museum. At the end of the office is a cozy break area where informal meetings can be held. The zones adjacent to the windows on both floors are finished in zinc plates and painted in silver to effectively utilize the natural sunlight through reflection.

办公室大堂与传统接待大堂不同,它有如一个商店风格的美术馆,可作为多种活动的场地。那里配备了适合不同活动的多种灯光效果,并安装了视听设备。

倾斜的黑纹瓷砖墙壁强化了接待处的视觉效果,接待处更被布置成具亚洲风格的休息区。

一改传统主管室的规划和类型,该设计中加入了一个名为「荣誉厅」的位置,有如办公室的第二脊椎,为访客展出多款出色的作品。沿荣誉厅而设的主管级房间有如一个个玻璃盒子,也成为了高架储藏室。在两个高架玻璃盒子之间,访客可到VIP小厅房稍作休息或等候。

商场风格的会议室摒弃传统会议室的模式,采用了黑核桃色调,并配上黑色的镜子。会议室还配备了多重灯效,用于不同的会谈形式。

中央水池和开放式酒吧乃设计师别出心裁之选。与传统设计不同,设计师的工作区是环形且高架的。高架的平台既有储藏功能,又不占用额外空间,大大开阔了设计师的工作间。

开放式酒吧特意采用白色,这样就能点缀一下黑色和浅啡色调为主的工作区域,且有缓冲的作用。

在 牧 桓 建 筑 + 灯 光 设 计 顾 问 , 一 个 设 计 就 如 一 个 主 旨 。 这 个 设 计 项 目 的 主 旨 便 是 对 这所现代建筑之中的传统装饰元素进行重新定义。这些元素,例如装饰品、基石、弧形的传统式样,以前都扮演著装饰与支撑结构的两种角色。然而,对现代建筑来讲,这些 都 已 过 时 , 这 些 元 素 不 再 扮 演 支 撑 结 构 的 角 色 , 只 具 有 装 饰 的 作 用 。

这 次 项 目 是 位 于 上 海 商 业 中 心 的 一 栋 三 层 楼 建 筑 , 设 计 主 旨 则 是 要 重 点 突 出 这 一 所现 代 建 筑 中 传 统 元 素 的 纯 粹 装 饰 效 果 。 设 计 师 通 过 建 筑 , 努 力 尝 试 寻 找 新 的 表 达 途径 , 正 如 室 内 设 计 中 所 用 到 的 亚 加 力 胶 枝 形 吊 灯 以 及 白 色 亚 加 力 胶 雕 花 板 做 成 的 浮雕 背 景 。 这 些 原 始 的 片 段 强 调 出 工 作 间 的 微 妙 , 令 人 集 中 精 力 , 不 易 分 心 。 除 了 接待 处 的 桌 子 , 设 计 师 还 用 两 个 盒 子 来 围 住 储 物 室 、 复 印 室 和 洗 手 间 。 这 些 盒 子 具 有装 饰 与 功 用 双 重 功 效 , 同 时 增 强 了 视 觉 效 果 , 发 挥 出 空 间 的 最 大 潜 力 。

跨入不锈钢大门,进入工作区。两张长形并经过特殊涂装的桌子摆放在空间的中央,改装过的台灯成为空间的主要光源。由不锈钢条做成的滑动门成为工作间的背景图,同 时 , 隐 形 装 置 的 架 上 随 便 摆 放 著 每 日 使 用 的 办 公 设 备 和 文 件 。 设 计 师 使 用 的 主 要色 调 是 黑 、 白 , 以 及 不 锈 钢 色 , 在 建 筑 中 可 以 看 到 设 计 师 布 线 的 独 到 之 处 。 设 计 师坚 信 人 是 工 作 间 的 主 题 , 那 么 工 作 间 中 所 有 的 元 素 都 应 以 工 作 中 的 人 们 为 焦 点 , 为他 们 服 务 。

marc and chantal design The new office space needs to reflect Star’s changing and increasingly diversified products, as well as an advanced medium in the form of flat-screen technology. It also has to support the changing work patterns adopted by its staff. Initially, the brief was restricted to the revamping of the main boardroom. However, Marc & Chantal Design’s proposal extended to remodeling the adjoining reception and lounge. Their efforts not only stamped a coherent theme on the interiors, but more importantly, it freed up the rather stuffy, enclosed boardroom space to the natural light and views. One of Star’s prime concerns was to present the highly technological aspect of their products and services to visiting clientele, such as investors, partners and bankers, without being overly futuristic.

所有的设计理念为Star TV带来了先进的技术以及当代时尚的优雅。

新工作环境需要反映出Star TV的转变和不断发展的各种产品,以及宽屏幕这类先进的多媒体技术。另外,设计还需支持员工富变化的工作模式。最初,客户只要求对董事会议室进行装修,但后来设计公司将装修延伸到邻近的接待处和休息室,设计成果不但令室内装饰协调统一,更重要的是一改原有沉闷、呆板的气息,显得开阔惬意,董事会议室变得视野开阔,光线充足。客户的宗旨之一是要向每一位来访者(投资者、合作伙伴、银行家)展示他们最新最好的产品,诚心地为他们提供最优秀的服务。

一进入办公室便即感受到一种时光停顿的舒适和惬意。来访者可能会想到:闪烁的灯光、投影墙、调色板,然后是太空船的影像。然而,客户却想避免给人这种感觉。设计师要以一种非常人性化且出其不意的手法解决技术上的问题。

接待处与董事长会议室之间的墙壁被拆除,因此,接待处的视野得到了扩展,会议室则成为了空间的中心。通常许多办公室内的会议室被用作展览室,甚至被看作是公司身份的象征,并且只用于特别的正统场合。而在Star TV,董事长会议室永远也不会被束之高阁。

无框双突透镜的玻璃墙无形地将接待处、休息区与会议室分开,后面展示著一面超大的屏幕,提供清晰及全方位的图像,向到达接待处的访客即时传递集团的讯息。玻璃墙面因双突透的效果,好像掩盖上了一层神秘的面纱,当人们经过,表面好似泛起涟漪,产生清澈、半透的共鸣。当会议室开启UMU系统,视觉又再一次发生改变,双突透镜的玻璃板变成了密实的墙壁,为正在进行的会议提供私密性,却仍可引入自然光线。

设计公司要为客户建造一个「传媒花园」,于是将自然元素融入设计之中。设计师对竹墙进行另一种处理手法,运用木材编接的方法将树干编织成一个树林,横过玻璃墙板的前方。迷你型的宽屏幕安装在树枝中,电线等则隐藏在中空的支干内,播放著所有频道的影视片段。宽屏的周边重新设计,用少量的金属和磨砂玻璃做框,保持著一种时尚统一的美感,突出了橡木以及木炭镶板的质感。

无线触摸屏幕控制著空间的动态,密切关注著室内的技术装置--从镶嵌在休息室矮餐桌上的触摸屏到一尘不染的会议桌面。而会议桌的每一个座位上都安装了多重资料连接器,扩音器装在天花上,桌面整洁毫无电缆的纷扰, 人们在讲话时便可以在房间内自由走动。大萤幕导演著双重角色:电动白板,以及一组墙面式等离子萤幕,用做商业展示之用简单传送著商品的资讯。天然元素”Media Garden”与会议室中的橡木墙壁相对应,并用钢质材料镶边。

科技的高速发展,往往超过高档时尚潮流的转变。设计师们明白潮流这东西是有时限的,甚至设计很可能只会盛行几个季度。因此,这项目的主旨集中在推销品牌、了解客户动态发展,以及与客户的交流,而不单只是关注华丽的外在装饰。

Reworking the idea of a bamboo wall, the designers used spliced timber struts to weave a forest of trees across the glazed facade. Mini flat-screen monitors projecting footage from all the various Star TV channels are planted within the branches with their cables hidden in the hollow stems. The casings were redesigned in a minimal metallic and frosted mirror frame to maintain an overall contemporary aesthetic outlined by oak and timbers and charcoal slate.

Carsten roth architekt The design focuses on the spatial interpretation of communication. It also intends to increase productivity, and emphasize its new image and culture. Thus a distinct visual presentation and a unique virtual space challenging to copycat competitors are developed. Different teams are allocated in different spaces that have no apparent enclosures but a multitude of virtual spatial expressions defining its various zones. This built virtual space is anchored with the “white box” where business clients are shown “what” the company does. Its contrary is the “black box” - a suspended “Thinking Cube” full of spatial reflections - concealing “how” the media people create their ideas.

Carsten Roth Architekt

汉堡最大的公共传媒机构FischerAppelt Kommunikation全新的总部办公楼座落在Ham-burg-Eimsbuttel一个破旧的工业区内,那里的几幢大厦经过重建和装修,变成了一个「传媒库」。其中两个落成项目Waterloohain 5 + 9是由Carsten Roth Architekt建筑师事务所设计的。加建的顶层融入到其庇护的25m x 60m x 12m的基部(即原有分别是三层和四层的建筑物),使大厦看来俨如一座独体建筑。

设计重点在于对「交流」空间的诠释,其设计亦要能提高生产力、强化公司新形像及文化,因此,设计师创造了一套独特的视觉语言,塑造出一种不易为竞争对手所抄袭的虚拟空间。各工作团队拥有各自的领域,虽然没有明显的围墙封闭,但众多的虚拟空间表现手法划分了各区。此种虚拟空间固定在一个用以向客户展示公司业务的「白盒子」里,相对的「黑盒子」──一个悬浮著、充满了空间影像的「思考立方体」──将传媒的思考模式与工作过程隐藏起来。设计的创新就在于这样一个有形的虚拟空间,成为不同传媒工作队及顾客亲切的家,它更跨越了都市的格局,进入无限的空间可塑性之中。

内部空间结构较为简洁,既降低了成本,又比以前的布局更富启发性。建筑能够激发员工的积极性,这可从办公室的工作效益及员工每周自愿留下工作的时间来量度。半透明玻璃墙清晰地将空间划分为多个宽裕的单位,同时又保留了楼层的宽敞、开扬和明亮感,这样的空间亦可解读为对「交流」的建筑之体现。

团队是传媒大家庭中的重要组成部分,每个团员都是整体中不可忽视的一部分。六至八人的团队给分配一个房间,而主管人员则拥有半透明的办公室,确保所有职员都能享受到自然光与自然通风。各单位自成一个独特的主题区,皆通向公共的中央大厅。各种会议室分散布置,内部会客站为公司内部的不同队伍在进行合作时,提供交流和沟通的场地;休憩区的悠闲气息柔和了工作间紧张的氛围。高科技新闻室与联系中央大厅的主会议室成为客户、来宾的焦点与方向。这种独特的空间布局——将不同的工作团队与部门的空间造成不同的主题区,像披著面纱般朝向访客,饶富吸引力。

这座建筑对于附近衰落的工业区造成新的冲击,印证了企业超越媒体空间的视野与能力;它以全新的视觉空间渗入城市文化,成为当地一个重要景观。

The innovation is a tangible virtual space that becomes a familiar home for various media teams and customers, making it a place that stretches through urbanity into endless spatial possibilities.the  internal  organisation  is  leaner  and,  therefore,  more  cost effective and inspiring than the previous facilities. the motivational effect  of  the  architecture  can  be  measured  by  the  increased productivity reflected by the voluntary overtime hours spent in the office per week. the translucent/semi-transparent glass walls have the advantage of defining the space into comfortable units, and  at  the  same  time,  keeping  the  whole  floor  spacious,  open, and bright. Consequently, space is readable as the architectural manifestation of the idea of communication.Teams are integral units of the communicating family. Every team member is an indispensable part of the whole. All units are distinct zones leading into a common central hall. Each single room accommodates a team of 6 to 8 members with its supervisor occupying a semi-visible room. Daylight and natural ventilation are provided for every employee. There are various decentralized conference rooms, and internal meeting places where different in-house work groups can utilize to exchange ideas. A Soft Zone is incorporated in the workspace for recreation to improve the working atmosphere. The High tech newsroom and the main conference room connected to the central hall create a focus and orientation for business clients, guests and applicants. The unique way to present different teams and the themed zones of various departments mysteriously facing the visitors is highly attractive.the architecture gives a new impact to a run-down neighbourhood to demonstrate the company’s vision and potency beyond media’s space. Besides becoming the landmark of the district, it reaches out to blend into the urban context in perfect harmony.

设于上海企业天地的「创意中心」,是办公家具生产商Haworth的亚太区总部;它是由物业顾问DEGW与地产发展商瑞安集团共同开发,旨在倡导办公环境的新理念,从而促进全球企业的创意灵感及工作效率。

整个中心划分为三个功能区:公共区、贵宾区及内部办公室。

顾名思义,公共区域是向公众开放的。区内设有咖啡吧,随意摆放的座椅体现了轻松的格调,人们可以在这里享受免费的欧陆咖啡;另外还设有工作室和研讨室。公共区陈列了Haworth设计生产的办公室家具。色彩丰富而悠闲的环境,有助激发创意的讨论。除此,这里的工作站配备了符合人体工学的座椅,让宾客能在一个与传统办公室迥然不同的环境中工作。

贵宾区特别为企业天地的租户、Haworth的合作伙伴及客户而设。宽敞的贵宾区不仅可举办研讨会、活动和展览,还可分割成多个空间来进行小型培训或视像会议。整个区域能够容纳多达80人。

内部办公区是Haworth亚太区总部的办事处,开放、共融式的布局,反映出先进企业所信用的平实而有助沟通的结构,再加上不设个人专用办公室,充分体现了当今公司管理人员差旅繁忙的办公动态。

通过结合上述三个功能区,创意中心成为一个实验场,让上海的企业界人士探索办公空间的可能性。它更是办公室以外一个能举行会议、研讨会等需要刺激创造力的活动之理想场所。

Genzyme Center是一座容纳了约920人的办公大楼,并附设商店、餐厅和地面层的公共区域,由专营实验室建筑的私人发展商以及著名的生物科技公司所共同开发。置身于众研究机构之中,Genzyme Center仿似一个代表进步的独特符号,脱颖而出。其设计把实用性和多样性融入到整体氛围和自然环境里。

朴实无华但性能卓越的玻璃外壳结合城市方针,抗衡波士顿的恶劣天气,并使内部设计避免受到外部气候的约束。建筑外壳的多种元素与办公室、花园和多层区域等内部空间结构相互作用。从街道上看过来,轻盈透明的玻璃立面勾勒出建筑的外观,斑斓的窗户和窗帘,加上遮阳百叶窗和玻璃背后生动的丝印图案,更为之增添色彩。户外花园加强了立面的深度、透明度和反射作用的百变形像。

大厦的低层中设有一个友善的公共区域,为左邻右舍提供崭新的活动场所。访客和员工在前往夹层接待区的途中会经过绿树苍翠,流水潺潺的花园。公共层上的办公层以开放式布局为特色,为各式各样的空间配置造就了便利的条件。

作为气候绿洲的中庭高十二层,像大树般伸出许多分支,枝节从大厦中央一直延伸至立面,构建出相互交织的空间联系。中庭连接各工作间、公共区域和花园,如同一个垂直发展的城市。

按照不同的需求和位置,呈现出丰富多样的办公室景观:开放式的工作室和封闭的办公室相互交错。私密集中的工作区域巧妙地设置在花园和中庭等公共开放空间的对面。

大厦立面的百叶窗把阳光折射,为大部分的办公空间带来自然光线,而中庭亦凭借各式设施争取自然采光。天窗下的棱镜天花将下射的光线过滤,减低眩目效果,但却确保一定的亮度。经过滤的光线通过人造枝形吊灯和反射「光墙」分散各处。枝形吊灯由压克力棱镜片制造,其散发的彩虹光芒和不断变化的图案,使整个中庭变得生动起来,并且随著一日的光线转变而产生无穷的变幻。此外,日光重定向系统(日光反射装置及固定镜面)更加强了中庭的采光。

Branching out like a tree, its branches and twigs stem from the centre of the building to the façades, creating an interweaving spatial quality. The atrium connects various areas which are organized like a vertical city with individual “dwellings” or work places, generous public areas, and gardens.a diversity of office landscape is developed: open workstations and secluded  offices  are  interchanged  depending  on  requirements and  situations.  concentrated  and  private  work  areas  are  in stimulating  opposition  to  the  public  and  open  spaces  of  the gardens and atrium.Offices are, for the most part, naturally illuminated through re-directional blinds located at the façade while the atrium is naturally lit by a variety of measures. A prismatic ceiling beneath the skylight filters the light downward, reducing glare, but not the amount of light. The filtered sunlight is then further dispersed into the interior of the building through artificial “chandeliers” and a reflective “light wall”. The chandeliers, made of acrylic prism plates, animate the atrium with shifting patterns of iridescent light. They appear as a cloud of light moving and changing with different light patterns throughout the day. The lighting of the atrium is further enhanced by a sunlight redirection system (heliostats and fixed mirrors). Genzyme  center  is  located  in  the  midst  of  other

Norddeutsche Landesbank

德国汉诺威市Hanover, Germany

■ 74,975m2

Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner

Norddeutsche Landesbank(德国北部的一所银行)新大楼坐落于城市的边缘。大楼北边是市区,南面则是南汉诺威的住宅区,西边有市政厅及与之相邻的Maschpark运动休憩公园。大楼东边毗连一家剧院。东北角的Aegidientorplatz广场则是繁忙的交通交汇处。

鉴于新总部大楼的位置、规模和作为行政大厦的用途,使它与北边市镇以及南边住宅区的关系难以界定。它更像是一个过渡空间,成为连接零售、商业、居住、文化、体育和休闲娱乐等不同城市活动的纽带。

大楼高低错落的造型让它更能结合到原有的城市格局中。

为了使大楼成为城市与住宅区之间的一个连接点,设计师采用了开放的地面层,并布置了餐厅、商店和酒吧等向公众开放的设施,使地面层依然属于城市的一部分。庭院中布置了大规模的水景和天台花园,以融入到周围的自然环境中。多层高的入口大堂、餐厅和公共地方直接而安静地与庭院相连。

真正的银行设施始于一楼,可通过富气派的独立楼梯抵达。透明管道连接大楼的各个部分,在夏季时更可以打开其顶荙。

大楼高层设有休闲廊和行政办公室等特别元素。它鹤立鸡群,高度接近七十米,从原来规矩的建筑形式跳脱开来,并与周围环境及市中心较松散的格局相呼应,成为了当地一座新的标志性建筑。

面向邻街的建筑在设计上力图令上层楼面获得经济高效的办公室布局。大楼的不同部分提供了不同的办公室深度,以配合多元的工作间类型,诸如开放式、个人式、蜂窝式、组合式、团队式、双排和三排等等。在室内,所谓的「必要楼梯」被用作分隔出独立工作区的一个媒体。

The desire for a linking element between the city and the residential districts has been met by an open and largely accessible ground-floor area, which remains a part of the town. This area accommodates publicly accessible facilities such as restaurants, shops, and bars. The courtyard has been carefully landscaped with large-scale water elements and planted roof gardens, thus establishing connections to the vicinity. The multi-storey entrance lobby, restaurant, and forum are directly linked to the quiet courtyard.the actual bank facilities begin on level one. they are reached via a  generous  freestanding  stair. transparent  tubes,  which  can  be opened during the summer months, establish links between the various building parts.The high-rise building accommodates special elements such as a lounge and executive rooms. It grows out of the exterior block, reaching a height of nearly seventy metres. This high-rise part of the complex detaches itself from the formal order of the blocks addressing the street, making connections with the wider context. A landmark emerges - establishing links to the more remote features, such as the looser patterns of the city centre.the  blocks  addressing  the  streets  were  planned  in  such  a  way that economically efficient office  layouts can be realized  in  the upper floors. the various building parts provide for different office depths,  so  that  all  common  office  types  (open  plan,  individual, cellular, combi,  team office,  two rows and three rows of offices) can be achieved. access  in  the  interior  is provided by so-called “necessary stairs”, which are placed in such a way that individually segregated working areas can be created.

The centre of the ‘compass’ is the reception/waiting area, from which multiple orbicular patterns are emanated and appeared on circular ceiling, carpet, niches, curvy display shelves and wallboard. To the east of the ‘compass’ there is reception counter, south is display area, west is general office area and north is conference room.

由于客户是以一年的短期合约租用这个单位,因此设计必须低成本,但却要满足功能上的需求,并且饶富设计趣味,以反映其作为包装设计公司的 质。

中国风水中所使用的罗盘是此项目最基础的设计理念,功能的铺排亦是依据一个抽象的罗盘。“罗盘”的中心是接待/等候区,从中心点出发,放射出多重环状图案,体现在圆形天花、地毯、壁龛、弧形陈列架和墙板上;而“罗盘”的东面是接待柜台,南方是陈列区,西边是主工作室,北面乃会议室。如此,重要的空间都给安排妥当。

为减省成本,办公室主要以彩色油漆来粉饰及作划分空间之用。红色是整个办公室的基调,鲜明夺目,连电梯厅也全漆上红油。宽敞的接待/等候区则采用了红和黑这个对比强烈的色彩组合,而喷上银漆的接待柜台极具金属感;为配合圆形主题,柜台的木条装饰也造成弯曲状。紫、蓝、炭灰色的环形地毯从中心点逐层向外放射,并与圆形天花互相呼应。

毗连的会议室由黑铁框落地玻璃分隔,为了私密度,隔墙的中间装设了磨砂玻璃,而顶部及低部则使用清澈的玻璃,以让光线渗透到等候区。会议室内,两盏眼泪形的灯具点缀了鲜红的空间。

the office is located on the 5th floor of a building, standing right on the main crossroads of harajuku, tokyo. it is composed of two rooms: a private space (a working space for twelve persons 35.59 m2), and a public space (a beauty/make up consulting space, make up salon, and beauty school 52.35 m2).Making good use of colours is a strong point for this project, in an original and cheerful way, and in reaction to a certain fashionable coldness (concrete, glass, grey, white) of the contemporary interiors and buildings in Tokyo. As the working area is quite limited, it is important that storage space does not interfere with the working space - that is why the shelves are installed by the walls.in the central area, a 6 m long and 1.4 m wide desk is divided by semi-transparent partitions. 1m x 0.9m high transparent glass partitions define three mini-spaces, a waiting room, which can also be used as a private makeup space for ViPs, and two meeting/

办公室位于大厦的五楼,正好在东京Harajuku的主要十字路口上。它有两个房间,分别是私人房间(35.59平方米,供12个人办公)和一个公共空间(52.35 平方米,用作美容/化妆谘询空间、化妆沙龙和美容学校)。

以最原来和轻松的方式充分利用色彩是本项目的一个特点,这也映衬了当代内部和东京建筑中某种流行的冷色调(钢筋、玻璃、灰和白色调)。由于办公室空间有限,所以储藏空间不能影响到工作的空间。为此,书架都是沿墙而立的。

在整个办公室的中心区,一个6米长、1.4米高的桌子被半透明的隔墙分开。1米乘0.9米高的透明玻璃隔墙分出三个小空间:一个休息室,可作为VIP客户的私人化妆室、一个会议室和一个谘询室。这些隔墙既增强了亮度,也避免在紧凑的空间形成拥挤感。隔墙上有黄色、橙色、粉色、绿色和蓝色的帘子。每个彩色的帘子都有一定的高度,既避免阻碍视线,又增添了空间的新颖和私密性。

正如化妆本身,色彩是本项目的特点。原来的设计使用了一些时尚的冷色调,如混凝土和玻璃,以及单一的视觉冲击。设计师提出了全新的观点,运用温馨明快的色彩来取代原来的设计。

consulting spaces. these partitions let the daylight penetrate and avoid the sensation of closeness in a compact space. they are covered with coloured sheets -yellow, orange, pink, red, green, and blue. Each coloured sheet is situated only up to a certain height to avoid blocking the sight, giving originality to the space as well as a little privacy.Just like the makeup itself, colours are used as a strong point for this project. Emmanuelle proposed a fresh new idea of bringing in warmth and fun colouring as opposed to the original design which had a certain coldness of concrete, glass and monotone visual impact.

as the office size is limited, the designer has to fully make use of the space. semi-transparent partitions avoid blocking the sight, giving originality to the space as well as a little privacy.由于办公室面积有限,设计上也要懂得善用空间。as the office size is limited, the designer has to fully make use of the space.
