架构师提供的文本描述。也许你在进入金融服务工作空间时最不希望遇到的是一个豪华的“协作室”，里面有毛料球座椅，更像是一个精美的艺术设施，而不是会议室。当然不是那时，一个完整的棒球击球笼与投球机-一个项目的地点，伊利诺伊州，美国。

Text description provided by the architects. Perhaps the last thing you would expect to encounter on entering a financial services workspace is a luxurious ‘collaboration room’ with woollen sphere seats, more akin to a fine art installation than a meeting room. Certainly not then, a full scale baseball batting cage complete with pitching machine – a nod to the projects location in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

这两家公司都是总部位于悉尼的全球金融服务公司(GlobalFinancialServices)成熟的新办公室的一部分，这些建筑师与该公司有着悠久的关系，他们曾多次获奖，并在澳大利亚悉尼广泛发表了自己的总部。

Both are part of a sophisticated new office fit-out for the Sydney based global financial services company with which THOSE Architects have a long standing relationship, having delivered their multi award winning and widely published headquarters in Sydney, Australia.

“我们在一个虚拟的、数据驱动的世界里交易，但我们最宝贵的资产是幕后的人，”安沙拉达首席执行官萨姆·赖利(SamRiley)说。“我们的目标是简化，而不是复杂，不仅在我们的产品界面，但为我们的客户，以及我们的工作方式，作为一个团队。所以我们希望我们的办公室成为一个真正美好的空间。严肃的同时，好玩，简单和复杂，新鲜但有经验，真实和当代。我们的工作场所应该反映这些价值观，并对我们的生活和客户的生活产生积极的影响。那些建筑师为我们做了所有这些事情“。

“We deal in a virtual, data-driven world but our most valuable asset is the people behind the scenes”, says Ansarada CEO Sam Riley. “We aim to simplify, not complicate, not just in our product interface but for our clients, and the way we work as a team. So we wanted our office to be a truly wonderful space. Serious and at the same time, playful, simple and sophisticated, fresh yet experienced, authentic and contemporary. Our workplace should reflect these values, and make a positive difference to our lives, and to our clients lives. THOSE Architects fit-out does all of those things for us”.

这个880平方米(9500平方英尺)的项目位于芝加哥的河北区，这是一个时尚的城市社区，毗邻宏伟的一英里。这间办公室占据了一座宏伟的旧仓库的整个五楼，仓库里铺满了手工压制的砖块、道格拉斯杉木的柱子和横梁、细密的窗户、硬木地板和天花板。

The 880 sqm (9500 sqft) project is located in Chicago’s river north district, a stylish urban neighbourhood bordering the magnificent mile. The office occupies the entire fifth floor of a grand old warehouse richly textured with hand pressed bricks, douglas fir posts and beams, finely detailed windows and hardwood floors and ceilings.

由于这座建筑不是芝加哥市(City Of Chicago)和伊利诺伊州列出的遗产，这些建筑师能够采取比对遗产敏感的悉尼项目更激进的建筑方法来进行装修。那些建筑师的导演本·米切尔(Ben Mitchell)表示：“在对我们继承的这位伟大的老妇人保持尊重的同时，我们能够在空间中插入一些重要的建筑元素，使我们能够在整个项目中更好地建立功能区。”

As the building was not heritage listed by the City of Chicago, nor the state of Illinois, THOSE Architects were able to take a more aggressive architectural approach to the fit-out than was possible in the heritage-sensitive Sydney project. “While remaining respectful to the grand old lady we inherited, we were able to insert some substantial architectural elements into the space to enable us to better establish functional zones throughout this project” says THOSE Architects director Ben Mitchell.

芝加哥的空间主要作为一个营销，销售和客户服务办公室，这在很大程度上决定了表演简报给那些建筑师。“这是一个简单的概念，但我们必须确保该空间在声学和美学上发挥作用，以反映该品牌复杂简洁的口号，同时无缝整合大量的技术基础设施，让员工发挥最佳水平。”本说。

The Chicago space functions primarily as a marketing, sales and client services office which to a large extent dictated the performance brief to THOSE Architects. “It is a simple concept, but we had to ensure the space functioned acoustically and aesthetically to reflect the brand’s mantra of sophisticated simplicity while seamlessly integrating a great deal of technological infrastructure to allow the staff to perform at their best”. Ben says.

该项目的主要举措是在空间中心插入一个大胆的黑色胶合板盒，以便明确界定办公室的三个区域。该地区的主要公用设施包括厨房、泥房、淋浴房、洗衣房和储存设施。在这个建筑元素中，还有一个协作空间和阅览室，由于这个位置，两者都获得了相当大的听觉和视觉隐私。中央的黑色胶合板盒不仅提供了空间中的主要建筑元素，它还有数以十万计的钉孔，使工作人员能够以多种方式利用整个表面。刷实的铜钉套筒完美地插入钉孔，用于任何东西，从写信给同事，到挂外套。

The project’s main move was to insert a bold black plywood box down the centre of the space in order to clearly define the three zones of the office. The main utility functions are carried out in this zone with provision of a kitchen, mud room, shower room, laundry and storage facilities. Also covertly located in this architectural element are a collaboration space and reading room, both of which gain considerable acoustic and visual privacy as a result of this location. Not only does the central black plywood box provide the main architectural element in the space, it is detailed with hundreds of thousands of peg holes that enable the staff to utilise the entire surface in myriad of ways. Brushed solid brass pegs sleeve perfectly into the peg holes and are used for anything from writing your colleague a message to hanging a coat.

娱乐和非正式会议室位于黑盒子的厨房侧，在芝加哥的天际线上有一个夹爪的视野。该区域的特点是入口接待处配备有定制的详细的沙发和灯具，员工的出口区域以定制的柔软家具、用餐区、游戏区和超精致的会议室为特色。

The recreation and informal meeting rooms are located kitchen-side of the black box with a jaw dropping view over the Chicago skyline. This zone features the entry reception complete with custom detailed couches and light fixture, staff breakout area featuring custom soft furnishings, dining zone, gaming area and ultra refined meeting rooms.

在黑匣子的另一边，工作站被容纳，并以柔软的灰色羊毛地毯和天花板面板为特色，上面有复杂的黄铜和木材细节。秘密门遍布整个空间，隐藏着从仓库到全面图书馆的一切。

Far-side of the black box, the workstations are accommodated and feature soft grey woollen carpets and ceiling panels with intricate brass and timber detailing. Secret doors abound throughout the space, concealing everything from storage to a full scale library.

Ansarada已经成熟为一家在芝加哥项目架构中体现出来的公司。然而，这些建筑师保留了澳大利亚哲学的有趣本质，然而，在公司工作场所却很少看到这个项目。

Four years on from the inaugural Sydney fit-out, Ansarada has matured as a company which is reflected in the architecture of the Chicago project. THOSE Architects have retained the playful essence of the Australian philosophy, however have imbued this project with a layer of sophistication rarely seen in the corporate workplace.
