谷歌爱尔兰公司打开了其蓬勃发展的新园区的大门。位于都柏林历史悠久的码头区中心的四座大楼!该园区拥有超过47,000平方米的独特办公空间。该园区拥有超过47000平方米的独特办公空间,为谷歌不断增长的销售、营销、财务和工程团队提供了一个惊人的工作场所,这些团队来自65个国家,讲超过45种语言。

Google Ireland opens the doors to its thriving new campus: Four buildings located in the heart of Dublin’s historic docklands district! With over 47’000 m2 of unique office space, the campus represents an amazing workplace for Google’s ever growing sales, marketing, finance and engineering teams, coming from more than 65 countries and speaking over 45 languages.

该园区由瑞士建筑工作室Camenzind Evolution与当地公司Henry J. Lyons Architects合作进行总体规划,代表了谷歌欧盟总部,是欧洲、中东和非洲(EMEA)的销售和财务中心。

Masterplanned by the Swiss architecture studio Camenzind Evolution in collaboration with local firm Henry J. Lyons Architects, the campus represents the Google EU Headquarters and serves as the center for sales and finances in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

四个园区建筑中最高的是新建的14层楼的 “谷歌码头”,它也是都柏林最高的商业建筑。另外两座大楼–‘Gasworks House’和’Gordon House’–已经成为谷歌的家,并被完全重新装修过。第四座建筑,’One Grand Canal’–被亲切地称为’1GC’–是新装修的。

The tallest of the four campus buildings is the newly constructed 14-storey building ‘Google Docks’ which is also the tallest commercial building in Dublin. Two other buildings – ‘Gasworks House’ and ‘Gordon House’ – have been home for Google already and were completely refitted. The fourth building,’One Grand Canal’ – fondly referrred to as ‘1GC’ – was newly fitted out.

刺激的城市内部园区
在总体规划中,建筑师必须为几乎不可能的事情找到一个聪明的解决方案–在内城的繁华环境中创造一个刺激和互动的园区。除了创新的办公空间,总体规划要求成功地组织大量的额外功能,如5个餐厅、42个微型厨房和通信中心、游戏室、健身中心、游泳池、健康区、会议、学习和发展中心、技术站、400多个非正式和正式的会议室和电话亭等。

STIMULATING INNER CITY CAMPUS
For the Masterplan the architects had to find a smart solution for the nearly impossible – to create a stimulating and interactive campus within a bustling environment in the midst of the inner city. Apart from innovative office spaces, the Masterplan required the successful organisation of a multitude of additional functions, such as 5 restaurants, 42 micro kitchens and communication hubs, game rooms, fitness center, pool, wellness areas, conference, learning & development centre, tech stops, over 400 informal and formal meeting rooms and phone booths, etc.

所有这些额外的功能都是谷歌整体工作理念的一部分,鼓励一个平衡、健康的工作环境,并使谷歌人之间尽可能多的互动和交流。事实上,正如实证调查和研究表明,互动和交流对创造力和创新至关重要。

All these additional functions are part of the holistic work philosophy of Google, encouraging a balanced, healthy work environment and enabling as much interaction and communication between the Googlers as possible. In fact, as empirical researches and studies show, interaction and communication are crucial for creativity and innovation.

为了实现这些重要的目标,所有功能的位置都在不同的楼层和建筑之间进行了非常仔细的平衡。此外,计划建造一座桥,将 “谷歌码头”、”煤气厂大楼 “和 “戈登大楼 “连接在一起,鼓励建筑物和人之间轻松流动。

In order to achieve these important goals, the locations of all functions were very carefully balanced between the different floors and buildings. In addition, a bridge is planned to be built to connect ‘Google Docks’, ‘Gasworks House’ and ‘Gordon House’ together, encouraging an easy flow between buildings and people.

独特的建筑身份
谷歌码头。新建的’谷歌码头’是园区的主楼,14个楼层中的每一个都代表了谷歌的独特身份和强大的价值观。

The main area of each floor is the communication hub which is integrated among various functionalities depending on each floor – from open plan and flexible working spaces, to micro kitchens and informal meeting rooms, alternative working zones, game areas, cafés, gym and even a 25m indoor swimming pool. These spectacular hubs are created as unique highlights of each floor, bringing an exciting fresh quality to the working experience.

The distinctive character of each floor theme is also reflected through different materials, colours and shapes with either literal or more subconscious connection to the particular theme dedicated to the floor.

煤气厂大楼、1GC和戈登大楼

煤气厂大楼 “被重新设计,代表了欧洲、中东和非洲地区特有的自然和人工景观,从天空开始,到山峰、农村和城市世界、森林、沙地,最后是水。

1GC “是对爱尔兰文化及其许多神话、传说和传统的致敬。它包括一个复制的爱尔兰酒吧和一个基于三一学院长室的图书馆空间。

Gasworks House, 1GC and Gordon House

‘Gasworks House’ has been redesigned representing EMEA’s characteristical natural and humanmade landscapes, beginning from the sky, down to mountain peaks, rural and urban worlds, forests, sands and at last water.

‘1GC’ played homage to the Irish culture and its many myths, legends and traditions. It includes a replica Irish pub and a library space based on the Long Room in Trinity College.

戈登楼 “的设计灵感来自于公司的多元文化性质,在一个虚拟的色彩走廊中融合了世界各地的国家旗帜的颜色。这创造了一个连接良好和刺激的工作环境,拥抱多样性和功能,以及独特、灵活和可持续。

The design inspiration for ‘Gordon House’ was taken from the multicultural nature of the company, blending the colours of country flags from around the world in a virtual corridor of colour. This created a well-connected and stimulating working environment embracing diversity and function as well as being unique, flexible and sustainable.

环境的可持续性

可持续发展是谷歌的一个关键重点领域,事实上,谷歌所有的房地产项目都是按照LEED认证进行的。谷歌都柏林园区目前正在等待著名的LEED黄金和LEED白金认证。

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is a key focus area for Google and indeed all Google real estate projects work to LEED accreditation. The Google Dublin Campus is currently awaiting the prestigious LEED Gold and LEED Platinum certification.
