Scenario Architecture的新家俯瞰着历史悠久的摄政运河,该运河东起Limehouse,西至Paddington。这个大的双层单元享有广阔的视野,并可进入一个可爱的运河边的露台,与来自邻近独立单元的创意专业人士以及当地窄船主共享。

Scenario Architecture’s new home overlooks the historic Regent’s Canal, which runs from Limehouse in the East to Paddington in the West. The large double-height unit enjoys extensive views and access to a lovely canal-side terrace, this is shared with creative professionals from the neighbouring self-contained units as well as local narrowboat owners.

作为客户和建筑师,我们决定提出一个完整的要求,以满足所有员工的需求。与Scenario的所有项目一样,这需要对空间的受益者进行彻底的访谈,以评估他们所期望的互动和情景,从而勾勒出一个高度明确的简介。

Acting as both client and architect, we decided to present ourselves with a full brief of requirements which would have satisfied all the employees’ needs. As per all Scenario’s projects, this entails a thorough interview process with the beneficiaries of the space, to assess their desired interactions and scenarios which in turn outline a highly defined brief.

我们面临的挑战是如何提供充足的空间,使我们的业务持续增长,同时创造一个动态、流畅和灵活的工作环境。为了实现这一目标,我们将定制的布局与材料和产品的创新使用相结合。

The challenge was to provide ample space needed to allow the continued growth of our practice while still producing a dynamic, fluid, and flexible work environment. In order to achieve this, we combined bespoke layouts with the innovative use of materials and products.

所需的建筑面积是通过插入一个量身定做的上层来实现的,它最大限度地利用了现有的体积,而不影响原有的空间特征。这是通过将顶层分成两翼,在一侧为董事创建一个私人办公室,在另一侧创建一个夹层休息室,为客户提供会议室。在中央部分,开放式的双层空间面向运河,有两排定制的桦木板数控桌,一个供工作人员休息的隐蔽的阅读角,以及一个定制的厨房。

The required floor space is achieved with the insertion of a tailored upper level that exploits the existing volume to the maximum without compromising the original spatial characteristics. This was created by splitting the top floor into two wings, creating one private office for the directors on one side, and a mezzanine lounge with meeting rooms for clients on the other. In the central section, the open-plan double-height space faces onto the canal with two rows of bespoke birch ply CNC tables, a tucked away reading corner for staff members to rest, and a custom-fitted kitchen.

为了在开放性和私密性之间取得适当的平衡,我们开发了一个精心制作的模块化隔断系统,将半透明的聚碳酸酯板与胶合板结构框架相结合。这在全高和半高之间浮动,取决于封闭区域的要求。蜿蜒的隔断坐落在带有湿式地暖的微型水泥混凝土地板上,与工业混凝土天花板相映成趣,精心布置的照明灯在办公桌上漂浮。

To strike the right balance between openness and privacy we developed a crafted and modular partitioning system that combines semi-translucent polycarbonate panels with a plywood structural framing. This fluctuates between full and half-height, depending on the requirements of the enclosed area. Sinuous partitions sit on micro cement concrete floors with wet underfloor heating, mirroring the industrial concrete ceiling from which carefully placed lighting floats over the desks.

聚碳酸酯被用于该项目,因为它的声学性能以及与玻璃相比的可负担性,使其成为办公环境的最佳材料选择。我们最喜欢的方面是它的双重性,即完全可回收和生态友好。

Polycarbonate has been used in the project for its acoustic performance as well as affordability compared to glass, making it an excellent material choice for the office environment. The aspect we loved the most, is its duality as both fully recyclable and eco-friendly.

另一个材料选择是使用桦木胶合板,利用它的美感和对环境的小影响。桦树是一种快速生长的树种,原产于欧洲东北部,这种树种的数量和生长速度意味着当它们被砍伐时对生物多样性造成的破坏最小。除此以外,桦木胶合板比其他胶合板更耐翘曲和弯曲。

Another material choice is the use of birch plywood taking advantage of its aesthetics and the little impact it has on the environment. Birch trees are a fast-growing species native to northeastern Europe, the abundance and speed of growth of this species mean that it causes minimal disruption of biodiversity when they are cut down. In addition to this birch plywood is more resistant to warping and bowing than other plywoods.

在16人共享的大型开放空间中,声学是主要关注的问题之一,为了解决这个问题,高大的内墙用一系列具有高吸音特性的水泥粘合的木棉板来覆盖。这些木板被铺成一个三角形的图案,投射到空间中,形成植物支架,给人以额外的色彩和微妙的家庭感觉。

In the large open space shared by 16 people, acoustics was one of the main concerns, to combat this the tall internal walls have been clad with a series of cement-bonded wood wool panels which have high phono absorbent properties. These are laid in a triangular pattern that projects into the space forming plant holders to give extra colour and subtle domestic touch.
