该项目是关于跨国公司Orfium的雅典办公室的翻新工程。Orfium是一家快速成长的公司,处理音乐领域的版权管理问题。我们的目标是为其员工设计一个友好、愉快和实用的空间,其主要目的是加强他们之间的关系,鼓励团队合作。一个巨大的挑战是,建筑的外壳和基本元素必须保持完整。因此,我们的干预措施仅限于内部布局和空间的家具,在严格的轮廓线内形成一个浮动的局面。

The project is about the renovation of the Athens offices of the multinational company Orfium. Orfium is a fast-growing company dealing with the management of copyright in the field of music. Our goal was to design a space that is friendly, pleasant and functional for its employees, and its main purpose is to strengthen the relations between them and to encourage teamwork and cooperation. A great challenge was the fact that the shell and the basic elements of the building had to remain intact. Therefore, our interventions were limited to the interior layout and furnishing of the spaces, forming a floating situation within a strict contour.

第一步是了解公司的结构和组织,并将这个系统转化为空间。因此,我们被引导去设计开放的空间,试图最大限度地利用外壳的自然光和通风源。岛屿可以容纳较小或较大的工作小组,在空间内有节奏地分布,并尊重其形式和轮廓。

The first step was to understand the structure and organization of the company, and to translate this system into space. Thus, we were led to design open plan spaces trying to make the most out of the natural light and ventilation sources of the shell. Islands that host smaller or larger working groups, are distributed rhythmically in the space, with respect to its form and outlines.

通过多个小型或大型会议室,但主要是通过露天剧场空间,促进了合作和交流。在这个空间里,除了圆形剧场外,还包括一个有组织的用餐区、一个公共图书馆和一个乒乓球桌,人们可以与他的同事和解并取得联系。为了实现这一目标,我们模仿了一个广场的动态。这个 “广场 “的主导元素是作为休闲场所的露天剧场。就在这旁边,大型的修道院式餐桌邀请员工一起用餐,从而鼓励彼此之间的对话和认识。中央会议室也在这一层,欢迎外部合作伙伴直接了解这种特殊文化。

Collaboration and communication are promoted through the multiple smaller or larger meeting rooms but mainly through the amphitheatre space. In this space, which includes, in addition to the amphitheatre, an organized dining area, a communal library and a ping-pong table, one can reconcile and get in touch with his colleagues. To achieve this, we imitated the dynamics of a square. The dominant element of this “square” is the amphitheatre that functions as a place of relaxation. Right next to this, large monastery dining tables invite employees to eat together, thus encouraging dialogue and acquaintance with each other. The central meeting room is also at this level welcoming the external partners who are directly introduced to this particular culture.

由于办公室扩展到三层,当我们从公司最 “外向 “的用途向上移动时,有一个逐步的过渡,即那些专门为其员工服务的用途。在中间一层,我们可以看到接待区,在那里,游客被引导到各个楼层。最后一层是专属的办公空间。

As the offices extend to three levels, there is a gradual transition as we move up from the most “extroverted” uses of the company, to those that are addressed exclusively to its employees. On the middle level one can find the reception area from where the visitor is guided to the floors. The last level is an exclusive office space.

调色板显示了不同的品质。绿色主要用于办公空间,而橙色则用于鼓励互动的地方。这种颜色代码有助于员工在新的环境中迅速适应,因为这是一个不断成长的公司。该项目在希腊建筑奖中被授予年轻建筑师的最佳第一座建筑类别的一等奖。

The colour palette indicates different qualities. The green colour is mainly used in office spaces while orange is used where interaction is encouraged. This code of colours helps employees to quickly adapt in their new environment as it is a constantly growing company. The project was awarded with the 1st Prize at the Greek Architecture Awards at the category of Best First Building by a young Architect.
