架构师提供的文本描述。沃伦分销公司成立于1922年，是一家族企业，近100年来一直是奥马哈社区的一部分。在奥马哈市中心的一处面积较小的办公空间里待了几十年后，该公司招募了波黑航空公司(BVH)设计一个新的企业总部，以庆祝公司的文化和历史，同时也吸引了下一代员工和领导人。

Text description provided by the architects. Founded in 1922, Warren Distribution is a family-owned company that has been a part of the Omaha community for nearly 100 years. After spending decades in an undersized office space in downtown Omaha, the company enlisted BVH to design a new corporate headquarters that would celebrate the company’s culture and history while also attracting its next generation of employees and leaders.

为了应对这一挑战，最后的提案纳入了多种多样的空间类型，以便为员工提供选择日常工作地点和如何工作的能力，甚至每小时工作一小时。各个部门被组织成不同的社区，其中包含针对每个部门内工作类型的定制工作站，每个部门之间设置了一系列的协作领域，为跨部门的互动提供了机会。除了这些专用的工作站社区外，该设计还包含了一系列更随意的辅助工作区，为员工提供了各种空间类型，供他们选择工作。这些辅助空间包括半封闭展位座位区、站立高度桌面、用于集中工作的封闭智囊团区域和非正式小组会议的松散座位区。最终，空间类型多样性的引入避免了一刀切解决方案的无效，并允许办公空间满足公司当前和未来员工的需求。

To address this challenge, the final proposal incorporated a diversity of space types in order to provide employees with the ability to choose where and how to work on a day-to-day or even hour-to-hour basis. Individual departments are organized into distinct neighborhoods, which contain customized workstations tailored to the type of work performed within each department, and set between each department are a series of collaboration areas that offer opportunities for cross-departmental interaction. In addition to these dedicated workstation neighborhoods, the design also incorporates a series of more casual supplementary work areas that provide employees with a range of space types from which they can choose to work. These supplementary spaces include semi-enclosed booth seating areas, standing-height table tops, enclosed think tank areas for focused work, and loose seating areas for informal team meetings. Ultimately, the incorporation of space type diversity avoids the ineffectiveness of a one-size-fits-all solution and allows the office space to accommodate the needs of the company’s current and future employees.

为了在这一不同的空间中提供一致性和统一的身份，设计团队专注于使用一致的材料调色板，这些材料通常是以独特的方式应用或详述的。单板胶合板，钢，玻璃，和装潢的结合，使材料的调色板受到公司卑微的蓝领文化的启发，并唤起了它在汽车和农业工业中的根基。此外，由于新办公室设在具有历史意义的铁路和商业大楼内，设计人员确保所有新的建筑要素都是清晰可辨的新增元素，即有别于原建筑的历史结构。对现有织物的任何修改随后都以独特的方式强调，并作为空间的一种品牌形式。这样，新的设计既庆祝了建筑的历史，也庆祝了公司在过去一百年里的历史和发展。

In order to provide consistency and a unified identity within this otherwise diverse space, the design team focused on the use of a consistent material palette of otherwise ordinary materials that are applied or detailed in unique ways. A combination of veneer plywood, steel, glass, and upholstery round out a material palette inspired by the company’s humble, blue-collar culture and evocative of its roots within the automotive and agriculture industries. Furthermore, with the new offices being located within the historic Rail and Commerce building, the designers ensured that all new building elements are clearly legible added elements, i.e., distinct and separate from the historic fabric of the original building. Any modifications to this existing fabric are subsequently highlighted in unique ways and act as a form of branding for the space. In this way, the new design celebrates both the history of the building as well as the history and growth of the company over the past one hundred years.
