架构师提供的文本描述。全球助听器领军企业西万托斯(Sivantos)将其全球总部和新加坡业务迁往别处-这是改变文化、树立新形象和身份的关键时刻。其结果是一个健全的激励工作场所，促进协作，敏捷性，问责制和创业精神。作为一个原始的“外壳和核心”，轻工业综合体被改造成一个用于研究、开发、管理和生产的感官总部。

Text description provided by the architects. The global leader in hearing aids, Sivantos, relocated its global headquarters and its Singapore operations - a critical moment to change the culture and establish a renewed image and identity. The outcome is a sound-inspired workplace that fosters collaboration, agility, accountability and an entrepreneurial spirit. A raw “shell and core”, the light industrial complex was transformed into a sensory headquarter for research and development, administration and production.

有效的品牌被整合到工作场所的访客和员工流中-通过3个非常大的地板直观地设计，并以包容的方式开发，以确保员工接受、利用和理解他们新的工作环境。西万托斯希望加强自己的形象，因此成立了一个新的总部，这有力地体现了公司创造更好的听觉和理解的未来的愿景。

Effective branding was integrated into both the visitor and employee flow around the workplace - intuitively designed across 3 very large floor plates and developed in an inclusive manner that ensures employees embrace, utilize and understand their new workplace environment. Sivantos’ desire to strengthen its identity has resulted in a new headquarters that represents a powerful manifestation of the company’s vision to invent the future of better hearing and understanding.

合理设计理念的连接潜力“按声音连接”吸取两个主题--"声音使我们团结"以及"作为庆祝全球多样性的声音"使工作场所表现出声音的体验和连接潜力。进入大楼后，很明显，声音是本公司的焦点。灵感来自声波，一个令人兴奋的雕塑的声音墙包围着接待区，建立了一个直接的哇因数。视觉元件在美学上和声学上工作，以将声波转换为物理形式，并且在视觉上为情感和令人振奋的体验带来声音。在这里，全球和当地的游客希望以Sivanos标志为背景拍照。

The connective potential of sound The design concept ‘Connected by Sound’ draws on two themes – ‘Sound unites us’ and ‘Sound as a celebration of global diversity’ making the workplace a physical manifestation of the experience and connective potential of sound. Upon entering the building, it becomes clear that sound is the focal point of this company. Inspired by sound waves, an exciting sculptural sound wall encases the reception area – establishing an immediate wow factor. The visual elements work aesthetically and acoustically towards transforming sound waves into physical form and bringing sound to life visually for an emotional and uplifting experience. It is here that global and local visitors want to be photographed with the Sivantos logo as a backdrop.

作为声音空间的集线器，把人们聚集在整个工作区域，声音是中央枢纽背后的灵感，有协作、思考和突破的空间。每个中心都有自己的声音概念，基于“自然之声”、“城市之声”、“庆祝之声”和“西万托斯之声”的多样性和对比-在办公室内创造了不同的声音场景。每个枢纽的材质、颜色和灯光的组合强调了我们在自然、城市和庆祝活动中听到的声音的变化和细微差别。

Hubs as soundspaces drawing people together Throughout the work areas, the sound is the inspiration behind central hubs with spaces for collaboration, contemplation, and break-out. Each hub has its own sound concept based on the diversity and contrasts of the ‘Sound of nature’, ‘Sound of the city’, ‘Sound of celebration’ and ‘Sound of Sivantos’ - creating different soundscapes within the office. The combination of materials, color and lighting in each hub emphasize the variations and nuances of the sounds that we hear in nature, the city and when we celebrate.

团队社区团队被分组到集线器周围的社区中。连续的木材声学包层突出了电话亭、会议室、咖啡馆和印刷厂，并将大片地板连接到一个空间内。“新的总部完全改变了西文托斯在这里工作的文化，使不同部门和团队之间的互动更加强大。协作中心为自发会议和头脑风暴会议提供了一个平台，极大地提高了生产力，同时还提供了在工作时放松的机会。”-NicolaiR.Jensen，Sivanos高级副总裁HR

Team neighborhoods Teams are grouped into neighborhoods around the hubs. A continuous timber acoustic cladding highlights phone booths, meeting rooms, cafés and print rooms, and unites the vast floor plates into one space. “The new headquarters has completely transformed the culture of working here at Sivantos, making the interaction between different departments and teams much stronger. The collaboration hubs provide a platform for spontaneous meetings and brainstorm sessions improving productivity immensely, and at the same time giving the opportunity to unwind while still at work.” - Nicolai R. Jensen, Sivantos Senior Vice President HR
