Phaidon搬到位于Sugar House Island开发项目的新总部，在空间协调和设计方面带来了有趣的挑战。尽管出版商对书籍和其他出版材料的存储需求持续增长，但新的空间比之前在国王十字区的办公室要小。这为PCA提供了使用创造性解决方案的机会，以确保满足Phaidon的空间要求，并使办公环境得到改善。

Phaidon’s move to the new headquarters in the Sugar House Island development brought an interesting challenge in terms of spatial coordination and design. Despite the publisher’s continually growing storage requirement for books and other published material, the new space was smaller than the previous office in Kings Cross. This provided PCA with the opportunity to use creative solutions for ensuring Phaidon’s spatial requirements are met, and that the office environment is enhanced.

对办公室的程序性结构和日常工作生活的彻底研究，有助于PCA了解如何为办公室内的每个部门建立一个严格的高效环境。从管理和编辑台到图形和切割台，设计优化了空间工作流程，使每天的工作更加合理和愉快。

Thorough research into the office’s programmatic structure and day-to-day working life helped inform PCA on how to establish a rigorously efficient environment for every department within the office. From the managerial and editorial desks to graphics and cutting stations, the design optimised the spatial workflow to make the day to day more rational and enjoyable.

PCA在两层建筑之间划分了方案。底层有中央入口，被想象成一个可渗透的公共空间，包括一个大厅和两侧的内部长廊，与底层的窗户平行，辉腾的出版物陈列在一个线性的画廊墙上，形成一个从外部可见的第二立面。

PCA split the programme between the two building levels. The ground floor, with its central entrance, was imagined as a permeable public space consisting of a lobby and an internal promenade either side that run parallel to the ground floor windows where Phaidon’s publications are displayed on a linear gallery wall, forming a secondary facade visible from the outside.

Dibond被用作公共空间的主要覆层材料，并被精心设计成具有不规则棱角轮廓的蛇腹形，模仿折纸的语言，捕捉面对窗户的自然光，创造出不断变化的光影效果。

Dibond was used as the principal cladding material in the public facing spaces and was carefully detailed into a concertina form with irregular angular profiles that mimic the language of folded paper catching the natural light from the facing windows and creating an evolving display of light and shadow.

在大厅里，Dibond包覆了一张桌子和全高的展示书柜，为品牌最新发布的大胆封面创造了一个气势恢宏的雕塑背景。廊壁上的书架构成了一个线性的图书展示，这种 “协奏曲 “的形式一直沿用到画廊的整个长度。这被三扇Dibond框架的全高玻璃门打破，通向各种会议室和一个会议室，里面有Vitra Visavis椅子、Eames桌子和Vitsoe 606通用书架系统。

In the lobby, Dibond clads a desk and full height display bookcase that creates an imposing and sculptural backdrop for the bold cover pages of the brand’s latest releases. The concertina form continues along the full length of the gallery wall with a shelf forming a linear book display. This is broken up by three Dibond-framed, full-height glass doors that lead into various meeting rooms and a boardroom containing Vitra Visavis chairs, Eames tables and Vitsoe 606 Universal Shelving systems.

PCA与加拿大照明品牌Bocci紧密合作，整合了由雕塑般的自由浇注铝制形式制成的吊灯，点缀了长廊和接待区的暗网天花板。Bocci灯的有机形式与展示架的纯洁和内敛的背景以及辉腾的大胆图书封面形成对比。

PCA worked closely with Canadian lighting brand Bocci in integrating pendant lights made from sculptural, free-poured aluminium forms that punctuate the dark mesh ceilings of the promenade and reception areas. The organic forms of the Bocci lights sit in contrast with the pure and restrained backdrop of the display shelves and Phaidon’s bold book covers.

一楼被设计成一个大型的灵活的开放空间，一排排的Herman Miller工作站和Vitra ID Mesh椅子以一定的角度偏移，在平面上形成空隙，插入了非正式会议区和自然的休息空间。

The first floor is conceived as a large flexible open plan space with rows of Herman Miller workstations and Vitra ID Mesh chairs offset at an angle, forming gaps in the plan where informal meeting areas and natural breakout spaces were inserted.

一体化的白色存储单元包围着周围的墙壁，为辉腾不断扩大的收藏品提供空间。这些都被大窗户所点缀，创造出深邃的视野，将非正式的座位区安置在外部视野中。 一楼的不同区域都有不同程度的声学和视觉隐私，以满足辉腾的要求，同时还能确保一个有吸引力和包容性的工作环境。

Integrated white storage units envelop the perimeter walls and provide space for Phaidon’s ever expanding collections. These are punctuated by large windows that create deep reveals into which informal seating areas with exterior view are positioned. Different zones within the first floor incorporate various levels of acoustic and visual privacy to fall within Phaidons requirements, whilst still ensuring an engaging and inclusive work environment.

在这两层楼中，PCA保持了一种克制和中性的材料色调，使辉腾的品牌形象和大胆的出版物成为不断发展的设计语言的一部分，并允许表达品牌的个性。

Throughout both floors, PCA maintained a restrained and neutral material palette to allow Phaidon’s brand identity and bold publications form part of an evolving design language and allow for an expression of the brand’s personality.
