Text description provided by the architects. Substantial's new open work space maximizes the existing character of the building SEATTLE--Seattle-based goCstudio, an architecture studio known for its innovative work and collaborations with artists and craftsmen, has completed the new office expansion for Substantial which occupies the upper floor of a historic building in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

实体是一个数字产品工作室，成立于2006年，并于2013年搬进了这座有100年历史的大楼。GoCstudio公司被邀请来重新设计整个14，000平方英尺的大楼上层建筑，以创建一个开放的计划办公室，以满足公司不断增长的需求。

Substantial is a digital product studio that was founded in 2006 and moved into the 100-year-old building in 2013. goCstudio was brought on board to redesign the entire 14,000-square-foot upper floor of the building to create an open plan office that would accommodate the growing needs of the company.

松树和百老汇角的上层是两个截然不同的办公空间的家。两人中较小的人住在实处，当前房客搬走时，他们很容易就抓住机会扩大到楼层的其余部分。所面临的挑战是创造一个具有凝聚力的开放式工作空间，该空间保留了原有实质性空间的感觉，并将最大限度地发挥建筑物的现有特征；裸露的砖墙、老式的道格拉斯杉木梁和屋顶装饰，以及仓库风格的窗墙。

The upper floor at the corner of Pine and Broadway was the home of two office spaces of very different character. Substantial inhabited the smaller of the two and readily took the opportunity to expand into the rest of the floor when the previous tenant moved. The challenge was to create a cohesive open plan work space which retained the feel of the original Substantial space and would maximize the existing character of the building; exposed brick walls, old growth Douglas Fir beams and roof decking, and warehouse style window walls.

需要有一个强有力的方案概念来改变空间。GoCstudio与业主密切合作，了解办公室日常运作的方式，以及日益增多的大型活动和社交节目的需求，并提出了“论坛”的概念。论坛作为社会和商业活动的集会场所的想法推动了扩展的设计。通过为一个大型办公室设立一个协调中心，雇员和访客都将有一个在非正式空间聚集和交流想法的场所。

A strong programmatic concept was required to transform the space. Working closely with the owners to understand how the office operates on a day to day basis, as well as the needs of the ever growing number of events and social programs that Substantial hosts, goCstudio proposed the concept of ‘The Forum.’ The idea of The Forum as a place of assembly for both social and business activities drove the design of the expansion. By creating a focal point for a large office, employees and visitors alike would have a place to congregate and exchange ideas in an informal space.

在建筑上，论坛变成了一个开阔的空间，旁边有一个新的大型天窗，毗邻入口楼梯。天窗不仅是用来让自然光线进入建筑物的深层规划的手段，而且它也自然地把人们吸引到建筑物的中心。这个空间成为了围绕着它的新插入的规划组织者。一个强烈的材料调色板乌木染色胶合板确定了新的插入，是组织周围的论坛和连接开放计划办公室在一起。现有的两个会议室是从以前的租户保留在扩建和处理相同的材料调色板，使他们与新的设计。会议室、安静的房间和电话室需要新的专用空间。正是这些空间围绕着中心论坛组织起来。所有的房间都有大的钢门和玻璃门，风格与原建筑同时代的工业仓库风格。这些开放给论坛允许封闭空间与公共空间，特别是当不使用。

Architecturally, The Forum became an open space below a new large scale skylight adjacent to the entry staircase. Not only is the skylight used as means to allow natural light into the deep plan of the building, but it also naturally draws people into the heart of the building. This space became the programmatic organizer of the new insertions which were laid out around it. A strong material palette of ebony stained plywood defines the new insertions which are organized around The Forum and tie the open plan office together. Two existing conference rooms were retained from the previous tenant in the expansion and treated with the same material palette to tie them into the new design. New dedicated spaces were required for conference rooms, quiet rooms, and phone rooms. It was these spaces which were organized around the central forum. The rooms all have large steel and glass doors in the style of the industrial warehouses of the same era as the original building. These openings to the forum allow enclosed spaces to engage with common space, especially when not in use.

多年来第一次，从东到西，建筑物内的景色都是开放的。自然光能从三面向空间倾泻，并从上方通过天窗注入空间。新的架构插入允许对空间和循环有一个清晰的理解，同时允许员工在工作和交互方式上具有灵活性。

For the first time in many years, views are opened up through the building, from east to west. Natural light is able to pour into the space from three sides and from above through the skylight. The new architectural insertions allow a clear understanding of the space and circulation while allowing employees flexibility in the way they work and interact with each other.

实体工作实践的一个很大方面是主办公共和私人活动。创造一个可以多功能的大社会空间是设计扩展的一个重要因素。白天，大型厨房/餐厅被用作员工的临时工作空间，他们每天都喜欢换换工作环境。这些25英尺高的厨房岛和16英尺高的酒吧岛使您可以轻松地转变为繁忙的全套服务活动空间。这些都是由大的CLT(交叉层合木)板创造出来的，这些木板通过临时移除一个窗户单元从巷子里伸入空间。同样，在办公室的北侧，为灵活的工作空间创建了工作小房，为小型团队或个人提供了各种区域。音乐和创造性表达一直是一条线，把办公室内实体和重要方面的所有者联系在一起。居住在原来办公空间中的浮动DJ展位被保留为活动期间将使用的空间东侧的一个焦点。

A large aspect of Substantial’s working practice is the hosting of public and private events. Creating a large social space that could be multifunctional was an important factor in the design of the expansion. By day the large kitchen/dining area is used as transient work spaces for the employees who often enjoy a change of scene throughout the day. These 25-foot kitchen island and 16-foot bar island allow for an easy transformation into a busy full service event space. These were created with large CLT (cross laminated timbers) planks that were craned into the space from the alley by temporarily removing one window unit. Similarly on the north side of the office, work cubbies were created for flexible work space, providing a variety of areas for small teams or individuals. Music and creative expression have always been a thread that ties together the owners of Substantial and an important aspect within the office. The floating DJ booth that lived in the original office space was retained as a focal point on the east side of the space to be used during events.

一个20英尺长的定制接待室，重新使用了实体公司以前的钢制入口门，设计用来迎接从街道上爬上楼梯的游客。专为团队工作而设的项目室堆放在空间的北面，隔开了简单的白色墙，与原来暴露的混凝土北墙形成了很高的对比。几乎一半的办公室可以轻松地用作社交聚会场所。现有的硬木屋顶甲板，暴露梁和砖突出通过简单和明确的材料调色板，适用于新的空间，在计划的中心。一个巨大的新天窗有效地将自然光投射到深层计划中，并为员工、客户和访客之间的互动提供了一个焦点。

A 20-foot-long custom reception desk which reuses Substantial’s former steel entry door, was designed to greet visitors as they ascend the staircase from the street. Dedicated project rooms for team work are stacked to the north of the space, separated with simple white walls which sit in high contrast to the original exposed concrete north wall. Almost half of the office can be used as social gathering space with ease. The existing hardwood roof decking, exposed beams and brick are highlighted through the simple and clear palette of materials that are applied to the new spaces in the center of the plan. A large new skylight effectively drops natural light into the deep plan and provides a focal point for interaction between employees, clients and visitors alike.
