Uponor Office
The Beijing office of Uponor should function as a standard office but also as a presentation space to introduce new products and hold seminars. It was clear since the beginning that the relation between these two areas was the main driver of the design.
Layout.
Our solution first separates longitudinally the 150 mq in two parts: the working space can benefit from the natural lighting coming from the windows, the illumination in the presentation space can be fully controlled. The longitudinal separation creates two spaces with a more interesting ratio between width and length.
The functional partition.
For budget and functional reasons the 1.6m deep central partition contains a display system, storage,a kitchen niche, wardrobe. It also provide sound insulation between the two areas.
Alternation.
In order to show to clients and visitors the dual function of the new office and not to lose the perception of the whole space, the storage compartments of the central partition are shifted to allow view through to the other side.
Furniture.
The idea behind the workstation units is to maintain a visually clean office after the work day. Each workstation has a storage unit under the desk. The top of the workstaion has an operable top that stores objects used during the work day.
Finishes.
The client’s request for a calm space, the fact that Uponor is a Finnish company, the budget, and the desire for a easy-to-build office contribute a reduced material palette: white and wood laminated panels , glass , gray carpet, stainless steel.
欧博诺公司北京办公室的设计需要在满足普通办公室功能的同时，满足展示与会议的功能。从项目的一开始，这两类功能区域之间的关系就成为我们发展设计的推动力。
平面设计
我们把150平方米的空间沿纵向分隔成两部分：办公空间靠着窗边充分享受自然光，展示空间使用人造光能够得到灵活有效地控制光环境。沿纵向的分隔方式创造了长宽比更为有趣的两侧空间。
功能化隔墙
由于预算和功能的原因，1.6米深的隔墙集合了演示系统、储存空间、厨房壁龛和衣柜，同时也起到隔音的作用。
错位
为了使客户和来访者感知到两个不同的功能空间，又不破坏空间的整体性，中间的隔墙设计采用错位的手法使视线穿透。
家具
办公单元的设计想法是希望在一天的工作结束后，办公室能在视觉上保持干净整洁。因此，每张工作桌下都有一个储物空间，桌面上也设计了工作时可打开的存储区。
材料
业主希望办公室成为一个宁静的空间。欧博诺公司的理念以及预算促使我们在材料的使用上尽量简化，我们使用了白色复合木板、玻璃、灰色地毯和不锈钢。
