遠程辦公模式下你錯過了某些東西……辦公環境除了作為辦公的地點，對吸引和保持頂級人才及與客戶和合作夥伴的協作變得越來越重要。一些郊區的大型產業園區提供免費餐飲、健身房、按摩及保齡球等配套設施，城市中心的辦公空間也能相應競爭。城市本身就是豐富的生活配套。
There is something that you are missing in remote working… In addition to being places to work, the office environment is increasingly becoming an important element in attracting and retaining top talent, as well as collaborating with the clients and partners. While some of the amenities of larger suburban campuses include free food, gyms, spas, and even bowling alleys, offices located in urban centers can also compete. Here, the city itself is an attraction with its convenience and wealth of offerings right outside the door.
一部分科技公司和風險投行出於培育長期協作夥伴關係的目的，開始把辦公環境轉型為接待空間。
Technology companies and venture capital firms interested in forming strong and lasting partnerships are increasingly transforming their office environment to one based around hospitality.
一家全球著名的投行在舊金山建立總部，選址舊金山Salesforce大廈的高區樓面，作為美國西岸最高樓的視野無敵。
For example, when a prominent venture capital company with offices around the world was looking to move their headquarters to San Francisco, they chose one of the top floors of Salesforce Tower. Salesforce Tower is the tallest building on the West Coast of the USA, and has sweeping views over the entire city and beyond.
客戶需要的不僅是一間辦公室，同時作為招待全球合作夥伴的接待空間。IwamotoScott建築設計事務所被委託設計全樓層。
They were looking to create a space that was not only a workplace, but also a hospitality venue for their worldwide partners, and chose the award-winning firm IwamotoScott Architecture to design this full floor.
與大樓的企業總部形象不同，IwamotoScott打造了一系列招待空間氛圍，從公司接待臺的戲劇性照明開始，仿佛是一間酒店接待臺。
To counteract the corporate quality of the tower, IwamotoScott created a series of moods, starting with a dramatically lit reception area. This room is designed to feel more like a hotel lobby than office reception.

經過接待臺進入公司後首先是明亮的休息區及咖啡廳，可欣賞城市風光。
Upon entering, the space opens up to a bright and welcoming lounge and café with expansive views of the city beyond.
休息廳中央是樹狀的木裝飾柱覆蓋座椅區。
The centerpiece of this room is a geometric 「tree」 that creates a wood canopy over the seating area.
與招待氣氛適應的照明設計為天花泛光間接照明，搭配裝飾吊燈。
Adding to the hospitality feel is the design of the lighting which includes only indirect cove light and decorative fixtures.
一系列皮革卡座環繞樹狀裝飾柱，作為白天的閒坐和夜晚的就餐用途。坐騎的安排能兼顧這兩種用途。
A series of leather booths line the space around and under the canopy. These wrap-around to form cozy seating areas as well as the perfect dining arrangement. This space is designed to work both in the day and for evening events. The seating under the tree accommodates this shift of use.
這間辦公室甚至有兩個吧檯！
There are also not one, but two bars in the office!
一個吧檯位於咖啡廳內，另一個位於一個神秘地方。第一個吧檯區也是作為白天和夜晚兩用。牆身的木線條裝飾反映海灣的波浪。
One is located adjacent to the café, the other is a 「secret space」 that you』ll see later. This first one is designed to allow the space to function both during the day and at night. The custom 3D wall paneling creates waves to recall the bay beyond.
一間會議演示和聚餐兩用房間緊鄰吧檯和咖啡廳。關上大門後覺察不到它的存在，打開大門又如同咖啡廳的延申。
A presentation and group dining room adjoins the bar and café. It can be entirely concealed when the large wood doors are closed or when open, feel like an extension of the space.
設計意圖的一部分是在一個統一的招待主題下布局不同的氛圍，如同一間精品酒店。訪客在長途飛行後總能找到一個喜歡的角落工作或放鬆。
Part of the intention to create a series of moods is that each room has a distinct personality while fitting into the overall hospitality and residential feel, much like a hotel or large house. Guests can always find a unique place to work or decompress after a long flight.
餐桌可以合併為一條宴會長桌。
This room has an extra-long banquette with flexible tables to support individual dining or one large dinner party.
會議室布置成各有個性，用於白天會議或者夜晚工作餐會。
There are also a series of conference rooms, each with a different personality. These rooms are designed to be used for private dinner parties as well as daytime meetings.
在一條背後的走廊後面藏著一間神秘房間，名叫輕鬆交談。
Tucked away along a back corridor is a hidden room called the speakeasy.
這件貴賓房體現高高在上的俱樂部氣氛，面臨無敵海景的卡座適宜私下交談或雞尾酒會。
This exclusive VIP room is not visible from the main corridor and offers a secluded clubroom atmosphere. Wrap-around booths face the expansive views creating yet another series of cozy nooks for small meetings or evening cocktails.
貴賓房內的照明體現窗外海灣大橋的造型和藝術照明。吧檯天花看似凝固的海浪。
Over the bar hangs a unique lighting feature. The rods recall the cables and lights of the San Francisco Bay Bridge outside the window and the sculpted underside the waves of the Bay.
當布隆博格公司，總部位於紐約的財經巨人要在矽谷附近建立一間分部吸引人才的時候，他們選址舊金山市中心的一棟歷史老建築Art Deco風格的太平洋貝爾大樓頂部三層。
When Bloomberg LP, the financial and technology giant based in New York, USA wanted an office near Silicon Valley to attract top talent, they chose the historic Pacific Bell building in downtown San Francisco. They are on three of the top levels of this beautifully restored art deco building.
布隆博格公司重視設計，並且過去支持了很多優秀設計項目。在這個舊金山的研發設計中心，他們委託IwamotoScott設計。
Bloomberg knew the design of the office itself was of upmost importance, and the company has a long history of promoting excellent architecture. For this flagship San Francisco Technology Research and Design Hub (R+D Hub), they also turned to the team at IwamotoScott.
作為布隆伯格研發設計中心，IwamotoScott設計的工作空間同時表現內向和外向氣質。布隆伯格公司希望把這個辦公空間同時作為矽谷和舊金山有名的聚會場所，交流前衛的想法。
For Bloomberg’s R+D Hub, IwamotoScott created a place that is both inward and outward facing. It is a hybrid office and event venue, fulfilling Bloomberg’s desire for the R+D Hub to be known as an important place in San Francisco and Silicon Valley where state-of-the-art ideas are exchanged.
抵達後的第一印象是低矮的座椅區，不阻礙視線的小型交談演示場所。
Upon arrival, one is met with a low seating area that allows for views from the entry while making a small gathering and presentation area.
這個區域的特色是開放式飲品臺和點心食物儲藏區，上空為雕塑感的木質天花。
A central feature to this space is the open barista and pantry wrapped with a custom designed sculptural wood ceiling.
訪客和員工方便來一杯咖啡或者小點心，閒聊一會兒或者坐下工作。夜晚，這裡作為聚會的合適場所。
Visitors and employees are welcomed with a coffee drink or snack, and able to gather, sit and work in the seating area or booths that line the space. For evening events, this area works perfectly as a place to congregate and socialize.
木質的雕塑天花意圖反映窗外的Art Deco建築外牆裝飾風格。
The sculptural wood ceiling is designed as a reflection of the details that define this historic art deco building which can be seen directly outside the windows.
點心食物儲藏區也作為多功能廳的講座和演示活動的外延討論空間。
The pantry also acts as a breakout area for lectures and presentations that are held in the multi-purpose room located at the terminus of the space.
從入口朝另外一頭看過去是這間辦公室的另一個標誌性元素。
Looking the opposite way from the entry you can see additional elements that bring a unique signature to this Bloomberg office.
這裡IwamotoScott特製的大型四邊形魚缸結合立體LED顯示屏，穿越天花通向上一層。LED顯示的內容是布隆伯格的財經數據變形的抽象圖案。
Here, IwamotoScott designed a large parallelogram fish tank coupled with a volumentric LED display. This volume penetrates the ceiling and connects to the second level. The content of the LED display is based on Bloomberg product data transformed into an abstract design.
這個魚缸很特別。儘管所有的布隆伯格辦公室都用魚缸象徵啟發性思維，這個魚缸養的是小蝠鱝，長大後捐給本地水族館。
The fish tank is one-of-a-kind. Where all of Bloomberg’s office have fish tanks to inspire reflection and productive thinking, this tank holds baby manta rays. Once they become teenagers, they are donated to a local aquarium.
魚缸和LED顯示屏的造型與木質天花呼應，都從四邊形切分三角形。與Art Deco建築外牆的抽象關聯把這間辦公室融入舊金山的建築傳統中。
The geometry of both the tank and the LED display are draw from the wood ceiling. They too transform from a parallelogram to a triangle in section. This subtle adaptation of the art deco façade is a story that connects this office to San Francisco’s architectural history.
玻璃會議室視線透明，採用不同的圖案及名稱標識。
Glass meeting rooms are designed to be visually open to the entry and public space. Specialized graphics provide room identification and naming.
在辦公區，更多的卡座提供不同的坐姿選項，白板便於塗畫。這些都內嵌入加厚的木質牆體，以保持整齊美觀。
In the workspace, additional booths allow for a different seating work posture and whiteboard zones line the space. To maintain the clean aesthetic, all these elements are recessed into thickened wood walls.
上面一層的招待氛圍又不同。這層布置一個安靜區，便於不受打擾地閱讀和深度思考。空間簡潔，多樣化的座位形式。
The second level offers a different type of hospitality. There is a designated Quiet Room meant for reading and independent work. The design of the space is simple, while offering a range of places to sit and contemplate.
金屬書架放置各式科學、技術、及藝術的擺設，啟發創造性思維。下班後在吧檯喝一杯，成為布隆伯格公司員工的嗜好 –員工獨有的招待福利。
Metal shelves wrap the walls with an array of scientific, technological and artistic curiosities to help promote creative thinking. There is also a small bar for after hours. This room is a favorite among the Bloomberg employees – it is a piece of hospitality just for them.
最後，在魚缸LED顯示屏造型的頂部是一個高腳凳工作檯，象徵最上層工作區。朝下看的話，可以見到奇妙的魚缸和遊動的魚群。
Lasty, a small work-bar is created at the top of the light volume that helps define the work floor. Looking down, one can see the fish tank and the mesmerizing rays.
