架构师提供的文本描述。当科技公司Expensify在2017年将业务扩展到波特兰时，他们在市中心的国家地标第一国民银行(NationalLandmark First National Bank)大楼找到了一个完美的新家。ZGF与Expensify合作设计了一个内部设计，以反映公司标志性的“自己选择冒险”的工作环境，向该公司开始在咖啡店工作，后来又从旧金山的一间没有指定座位的办公室工作表示敬意。请记住，Expensify并不拥有这座建筑，设计干预措施不仅要说明现有内部建筑的持久宏伟，而且还要说明有限租赁期限的现实情况。

Text description provided by the architects. When tech company Expensify expanded operations to Portland, OR in 2017, they found the perfect new home in the downtown National Landmark First National Bank building. ZGF partnered with Expensify to design an interior that reflects the company’s signature “choose-your-own-adventure” work setting, paying homage to the company’s beginnings working in coffee shops and, later, out of a San Francisco office with no assigned seating. Keeping in mind Expensify does not own the building, design interventions had to speak not only to the enduring grandeur of the existing interiors but also the realities of a finite lease term.

天空照亮的四层楼房的每个空间都配备了经典的专栏、巨大的银行金库和艺术装饰细节，作为工作场所的功能。座位是未分配的，会议室是不可记账的，员工根据自己的风格、情绪和手头的任务选择坐在哪里。主要的楼层有一个厨房，里面有零食、小布卡(KombBucha-on-tap)和一个客厅区，里面有过量的奥斯曼人，而一个定制的41英尺的木头和黄铜镶嵌的公用桌子是在一个相邻的地带主持的。楼上，会议室频道是一个现代疯狂的男人美学，一个带有镜子的墙的Speakasy风格的沙龙通过一组隐藏的门来定位。在三楼，一个橡树村，设计成让人联想到斯堪的纳维亚的建筑技术和风格，为私人电话和自上而下的工作提供社区和个人的座位。

Every space in the sky-lit four-story atrium, complete with classic columns, giant bank vaults, and Art Deco details, functions as the workplace. Seating is unassigned, conference rooms are unbookable, and employees choose where to sit depending on their individual style, mood, and the task at hand. The main floor includes a kitchen stocked with snacks, kombucha-on-tap, and a living room area with overstuffed ottomans, while a custom 41-foot wood and brass inlaid communal table presides over an adjacent zone. Upstairs, the boardroom channels a modern Mad Men aesthetic, and a speakeasy-style salon with mirror-clad walls is located through a set of hidden doors. On the third floor, an oak wood village, designed with forms reminiscent of Scandinavian building techniques and style, offers community and individual seating for private calls and heads-down work.

ZGF通过参考历史细节和比例，仔细平衡Expensify的空间需求和建筑的历史重要性，设计一套位于银行主入口楼梯对面和上方的浮动会议室。让人想起大中央车站或大盖茨比的场景，到达办公室的游客走上一段橡木楼梯，在他们面前找到另一条精心设计的黑色钢、木和玻璃楼梯，利用巨大的中庭空间，创造性地将现有建筑的不同层次连接起来。楼梯两旁是两个黄铜包覆玻璃封闭的工作空间，其顶部是开放的乌鸦巢穴，这是功能性工作区。作为一种树屋的概念，这个想法被悬挂在一个像秋千一样的工作空间上的吊车所强化。

ZGF carefully balanced Expensify’s space needs and the historical importance of the building when designing a set of floating conference rooms located opposite and above the bank’s main entrance staircase by referencing the historic details and proportions. Reminiscent of Grand Central Station or scenes from The Great Gatsby, visitors who arrive at the office walk up a flight of oak stairs to find in front of them another carefully detailed blackened steel, wood, and glass staircase making use of the huge atrium volume and creatively connecting the different levels of the existing building. The staircase is flanked by two brass-clad, glass-enclosed work spaces, which are themselves topped with open crow’s nest perches that are functional work areas. Concepted as a treehouse of sorts, the idea is reinforced by a suspended chaise that hangs from one of the workspaces like a swing.

Expensify的员工已经完全接受了这个新办公室，在任何特定的一天都可以看到它从一个空间移动到另一个空间，设备夹在手臂下，通常带着一两只狗。

Expensify employees have fully embraced the new office, and on any given day can be seen moving from one space to another, with device tucked under arm and often with a dog or two in tow.
