Bean Buro为UBER的香港新办公室设计的灵感来自于Gottfried Semper关于船只的著作，他在书中描述了形式和功能作为一个结构化的整体的概念，各个部分履行自己的功能，同时与其他部分合作以实现整体目标和效果。

Bean Buro’s design for UBER’s new Hong Kong office takes inspiration from Gottfried Semper’s writings on vessels, where he described the notion of form and function acting as a structured whole, with individual parts fulfilling their own function while cooperating with others to achieve an overall aim and effect.

uber的新工作场所位于现有办公楼的顶层，总面积为9000平方英尺（830平方米），其灵感来自于这种体积和功能的概念。对城市的滨水地形和弯曲的山脉的诠释产生了一个起伏的、丰满的深蓝色可居住的容器，其中包括会议室、服务区和私人工作间。

UBER’s new workplace, totaling 9,000sqft (830sqm) on the top floor of an existing office building, was inspired by such notion of volumes and functions. Interpretations of the city’s waterfront topography and curvy mountains generated an undulating, voluptuous dark blue inhabitable vessel that contained meeting rooms, service areas and private work booths.

船只的每个独立部分都是各种工作空间，配备了各自的隐私控制，如缥缈的渐变玻璃隔断或窗帘。工作集群占据了开放的街区，每个集群都可以进入共享支持和协作工作区。工作集群可以被重新安排，以配合公司不断变化的需求。

Each individual part of the vessel was a variety of work spaces equipped with their own privacy control such as misty gradient glass partitions or curtains. Work clusters occupy the open neighborhoods, each with access to shared supports and collaborative work zones. The work clusters can be re-arranged to match the constantly changing needs of the company.

参照当地的城市生活，接待处引入了色彩鲜艳的瓷砖墙面和地板，与手工制作的霓虹灯招牌形成对比，而软垫毡包裹的接待台则让人想起豪华的汽车座椅。由本地艺术家Bao Ho创作的复杂的墙面艺术设想了一个漂浮的城市船只，上面有香港的地标、未来的运输工具和公司的幸运风水符号。员工则被鼓励通过可书写的墙壁和柱子来创造性地表达自己。

Referencing the local urban life, the reception introduces vibrantly coloured tiled walls and floors, contrasted with handcrafted neon signage, while a padded felt wrapped reception desk is reminiscent of luxurious car seating. An intricate wall art by local artist Bao Ho envisions a floating city vessel, packed with Hong Kong landmarks, futuristic transports and lucky Feng Shui symbols for the company. Staff is in turn encouraged to express themselves creatively through writable walls and columns.

这个空间的设计是人性化的，以连接人们，反映了公司的精神。因此，工作场所的核心是一个咖啡储藏室，旨在支持大型社交活动、独立工作和非正式会议。它包括一个协作酒吧岛、舞台座位和一张20米长的标志性 “豆 “形桌子，上面有集成的软垫座椅，面向城市的赛马场和运动场。

The space was designed humanly to connect people, reflecting the company’s ethos. Thus the heart of the workplace is a café pantry, designed to support large social events, independent working and informal meetings. It includes a collaborative bar island, stage seating, and a 20m long signature ‘Bean’ table with integrated cushioned seats facing the city’s racecourse and sports grounds.
