该团队的目标是创造一个惊人的，引人注目的设计，强调微软的工作方式，可以帮助公司吸引最优秀的人才。

The team’s goal was to create a stunning, eye-catching design, one that emphasized Microsoft’s connected way of working and could help the company attract the best talent.

“推动室内设计概念的关键隐喻是连通性，”室内设计公司PDM的JuliusKanand总监说。这个主题起源于九层楼的建筑和它的大中庭，它由四层的中央楼梯和过桥连接起来。

“The key metaphor driving the interior design concept was connectivity,” Julius Kanand Director at interior design firm PDM says. That theme grew out of the nine-story building and its large atrium, which is connected by a central staircase and bridge crossings on four floors.

设计团队利用了苏州的丰富遗产，这是一个以古典设计的园林闻名的贸易港口，可以追溯到公元前6世纪。苏州有九个“山水”园林，以其精湛的工艺、艺术的典雅和丰富的文化内涵而闻名于世。设计的宗旨之一是创造一个与自然完美和谐的空间，在可能的情况下增加绿色植物，在一楼安装一个小花园来锚定中庭，并在自助餐厅的一个部分模拟树木。

The design team tapped into the rich heritage of Suzhou, a trading port famous for its classically designed gardens that date back to the 6th century BC. Suzhou boasts nine “Mountain and Water” gardens that are noted for their exquisite craftsmanship, artistic elegance, and rich cultural implications. A tenet of the design is creating a space in perfect harmony with nature, adding greenery where possible, installing a small garden on the first floor to anchor the atrium, and simulating trees in one part of the cafeteria.

为了创造一种影响和活力的空间，他们决定让九层的中庭变得丰富多彩和生机勃勃，在一楼使用一层的深绿色方案来模仿地球的地面，然后逐渐过渡到绿色的树冠，然后充满活力的蓝色来象征着天空。

To create an impact and energize the space, they decided to make the nine-story atrium colorful and vibrant, using an ochre color scheme on the first floors to mimic the Earth’s ground, gradually transitioning to greens for tree canopies and then vibrant blues to signify the sky.

中庭设计需要六十种不同类型的玻璃，有几种褪色的颜色，每种玻璃都有像素化的图案，就像电脑像素上的纹理一样。自然光从中庭的透明玻璃天花板流进来，在白天给空间注入能量，并在太阳褪色时使它平静下来。

The atrium design called for sixty different types of glass in several fading colors, each in a pixelated pattern as a texture playing off a computer pixel. Natural light streams in from the atrium’s clear glass ceiling, energizing the space during the day and calming it as the sun fades.

他们在中庭附近建立了共享空间，鼓励人们走楼梯，使用桥梁，并将不同的群体联系起来。团队空间充满了专用的工作站，并有自己的会议室和电话亭空间。为了分隔团队空间，他们创建了两个开放的协作区域，然后在团队需要安全和访问控制的情况下为机密项目创建了一道墙。

They created shared spaces close to the atrium to encourage people to take the stairs and use the bridges and to connect different groups. Team spaces were filled with dedicated work stations and contain their own meeting rooms and phone booth spaces. To separate team spaces, they created two open collaboration areas and then a wall in case a team needs security and access control for confidential projects.
