生活质量空间:健康和未来的工作空间。由L’Abri和Vives St-Laurent设计的索迪斯蒙特利尔新办公室,提出了他们对未来工作空间的设想。基于设计师和客户之间的共同价值观,该项目提出了生活质量空间的概念。这个设计概念是基于健康、灵活、创新,以及我们工作场所的人类和社会特性的重要性。它强调了空间和工作环境的动态组织,简约和温暖的设计,以及对用户的舒适和健康的特别关注。在2020年完全实现,这个概念被证明是特别有弹性的,可以面对大流行病所揭示的挑战。

Quality of life Space: wellness and the future workspace. The new Sodexo Montreal office, designed by L’Abri and Vives St-Laurent, presents their vision for the workspace of the future. Based on common values between designers and clients, the project puts forward the concept of Quality of Life Spaces. This design concept is based on wellness, flexibility, innovation, and the importance of the human and social character of our workplaces. It emphasizes a dynamic organization of spaces and working environments, a minimalist and warm design, as well as special attention to the comfort and health of users. Entirely realized in 2020, the concept is proving particularly resilient to face the challenges revealed by the pandemic.

身份、设计和材料。该项目占据了一个1908年工业建筑群的空间,直接位于蒙特利尔拉钦运河的边缘。该计划突出了百年老建筑的内在品质,并利用了高天花板和大开口的优势。办公室被设置在窗边,而所有的会议室仍然受益于充足的自然光供应。该设计揭示了原有的砖墙、磨坊地板和木质结构。浅色和中性的家具与木材的丰富性相得益彰。封闭的房间里有毛毡、地毯和颜色较深的窗帘,提供了一个有利于集中注意力的环境。清醒而温暖的设计使该项目具有人性和专业的特征。

Identity, design, and materiality. The project occupies a space within a 1908 industrial building complex directly on the edge of the Lachine Canal in Montreal. The plan highlights the intrinsic qualities of the century-old construction and takes advantage of the high ceilings and large openings. The offices are set up on the window side, while all meeting rooms still benefit from a generous supply of natural light. The design reveals the original brick walls, mill floor, and wood structure. The light and neutral furniture complement the richness of the wood. The closed rooms are lined with felt, rugs, and curtains in warmer and darker colors, providing an environment conducive to concentration. The sober yet warm design gives the project a signature both human and professional.

工作、灵活和创新。索迪斯项目的空间被简化为一系列模块,提供了工作、合作、集中、社交、烹饪、冥想和学习的时机。开放的概念设计鼓励平等、分享和运动。会议室和焦点舱的箱形体量使空间更加突出,增加了不同工作环境的机会。该项目的根本,是通过在整个办公室实施即插即用的端口来促进灵活性。这种灵活性和提高用户的舒适度得到了技术的支持,产生了一个动态的环境。在项目的中心,大型餐厅和专业厨房作为一个多功能的空间,可以在多媒体活动期间进行改造。

Work, flexibility, and innovation. The spaces of the Sodexo project are declined as a series of modules offering moments to work, collaborate, concentrate, socialize, cook, meditate and learn. The open concept design encourages equality, sharing, and movement. Boxed volumes for meeting rooms and focus pods punctuate the space and increase the opportunities for different working environments. Fundamental to the project, flexibility is facilitated by the implementation of plug-and-play ports throughout the office. This flexibility and enhanced comfort for the users are supported by technology to generate a dynamic environment. At the heart of the project, the large dining room and the professional kitchen serve as a multifunctional space that can be transformed during multimedia events.

健康原则和生物亲和性。索迪斯蒙特利尔办公室的创新设计遵循了对用户健康和保健的卓越标准。设计-建造团队的严格工作提出了空气、水、光、声音和材料的质量,以创造一个健康和可持续的环境。这些空间促进了运动和社区精神。索迪斯的主要活动–营养的重要性,通过厨师和办公人员都可以使用的展示厨房得到了强调。生物多样性的原则确保了工作空间的人性化和自然性。

Wellness principles and biophilia. The innovative design of Sodexo Montreal offices follows standards of excellence for the health and wellness of users. The rigorous work of the design-build team puts forward the quality of air, water, light, sound, and materials to create a healthy and sustainable environment. The spaces promote movement and the spirit of community. The importance of nourishment, Sodexo’s primary activity, is highlighted by the show kitchen accessible to both chefs and office staff. The principles of biophilia ensure a human and natural character to workspaces.

丰富的植物和日光、外部视野、木材和自然色彩是设计的基础,并创造了项目的独特肖像。这种方法显示了公司对社区的承诺,也是 “优质生活空间 “概念的基础。事实证明,在面对大流行病带来的意外挑战时,这个概念特别有弹性。因此,该项目代表了未来工作空间的一个优秀案例。一个更加人性化、健康、高效和可持续的未来,它将社会特性的重要性与家庭的舒适性和简单性相结合,重新引入我们的企业空间。

The abundance of plants and daylight, the views to the outside, wood, and natural colors are the basis of the design and create the distinctive portrait of the project. This approach demonstrates the company’s commitment to its community and is fundamental to the concept of Quality of Life Spaces. This concept has proven to be particularly resilient in the face of the unexpected challenges brought by the pandemic. As such, the project represents an excellent case study for the workspace of the future. A future more human, healthy, efficient, and sustainable, which reintroduces into our corporate spaces the importance of social character combined with the comfort and simplicity of the home.
