原先的办公区域,占据了14层办公楼的顶层两层,由两层组成,其中底层的特点是8.8米高的天花板和1300平方米的开放空间,夹层的天花板是3米高,450平方米的空间。

The original office area, occupying the top two-level floor of a 14-story office building, consisted of two levels, with the ground level featuring 8.8-m high ceiling and 1,300 sqm of open space, and the mezzanine level with a 3-m high ceiling and 450 sqm of space.

我们的布局理念是将聚会区放在底层,使其成为办公室的核心元素,成为办公室的心脏,周围有六个开放空间的工作区,每个都有隔音效果。我们调整了夹层的配置,以确保正确的径向曲线,将工作区和会面区分开。 我们用新安装的开放式楼梯连接了这两层。

Our layout idea was to place the meet-up zone on the ground floor, making it a core element, a heart, of the office, around which six open-space working zones, each with soundproof qualities, to be located. We adjusted the configuration of the mezzanine floor to ensure the correct radial curve that separates the working areas from the meet-up zone. We connected the two levels with the newly installed open staircases.

几个独立的包厢房间为安静的工作和一对一的交流提供了隐私。可容纳8至15人的较大的会议室位于聚会区周围,并以不同的颜色装饰。办公室内有21个休息区,包括图书馆、午睡室和可以演奏乐器或观看视频的音响室。甚至还有一个壁炉区,用于增加舒适度和放松,也被用作非正式会议场所。

Several individual box rooms offer privacy for quiet work and one-on-one communication. Larger meeting rooms, with capacities of 8 to 15 people, are located around the meet-up zone and are finished in different colors. There are 21 lounge zones in the office, including a library, a nap room and acoustic room to play musical instruments or watch videos. There is even a fireplace zone for added comfort and relaxation, which is also used as an informal meeting place.

环保材料和天然木材的广泛使用,包括整个办公空间对橡木的创造性再利用,休息区对户外的多种引用,以及丰富的自然光线,都有助于为员工创造积极的工作和生活平衡,并有助于提高他们的舒适度和效率。

Extensive use of eco-friendly materials and natural wood, including creative reuse of oak throughout the office space, multiple references to the outdoors in the lounge areas, and the abundance of natural light help to create a positive work-life balance for the employees and contribute to highest levels of their comfort and efficiency.

午睡室被设计为三个睡眠场所。从概念上讲,这是三个由窗帘封闭的块状物,用于光学隔离。这些区块有床垫,床垫下有称重传感器。如果有人占据了一个睡觉的地方–传感器就会做出反应,并向灯光指示器发送信号–ZZZ字母,这意味着该区块是繁忙的。

The nap room is designed for three sleeping places. Conceptually, these are three blocks closed by the curtains for optical isolation. The blocks have mattresses under which weighing sensors are located. If someone occupies a sleeping place – the sensor responds and sends a signal to the light indication – the zZZ letters, which means the block is busy.

在底层房间上方创建的休息区通过整个办公室的关键元素之一–吊桥与工作区相连。吊桥的长度为90米,它以平缓的曲线环绕办公室,俯瞰整个办公室,并略微扩大以容纳其路径上的休息区。该桥没有地面支撑,它只是悬挂在天花板上。为了将桥的厚度降到最低,我们将洒水系统的管道从主地板下穿过,并将其碎片融入桥身,与桥的结构元素融为一体。

Lounge areas created above the rooms of the ground floor are connected to the working zones by one of the key elements of the entire office – the suspension bridge. The length of the bridge is 90m, it loops around the office in a gentle curve, overlooking the entire office and expanding slightly to accommodate lounge zones in its path. The bridge has no ground support, it is merely suspended from the ceiling. In order to keep the thickness of the bridge to a minimum, we passed the sprinkler system pipes under the main floor, and incorporated their fragments into the body of the bridge, blending them with the bridge’s structural elements.
