架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是关于著名的Viola通信公司在54楼的新总部的内部装修，这里是阿拉伯联合酋长国首都阿布扎比的媒体自由区。它可以被认为是酋长国的第一个创新和概念性的办公室设计，在那里，典型工作场所的经典方案被重新发明，将办公室功能的传统安排变成“房间和走廊”，取而代之的是一个流动、非正式和互动的空间。在这一创新设计中，用户之间的关系被确定为一个优先事项，并在将当地品味与现代口译相结合的挑战中取得了显著的成功。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is about the interior fit-out of the new headquarters of the well-known company Viola Communications in twofour54, the media free zone of Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It can be considered the first innovative and conceptual office design in the emirate, where the classic scheme of the typical workplace is re-invented and the traditional arrangement of the office functions into “rooms and corridors” is replaced by a fluid, informal and interactive space. In this innovative design, relationships between users are set to be a priority and an accomplishing remarkable success to the challenge of mixing the local taste with modern interpretation.

该项目位于五四公园罗塔纳大厦的四楼，占据整个北翼。设计方案非常明确，包括由五个不同业务单位的大约120名雇员(业务人员主管)组成的开放式和封闭式办公室，以及三个独立的入口和相关的接待和等候区、一个较高的管理部门、几个正式和非正式的会议室、一个可容纳所有雇员参加公司活动和聚会的大型娱乐区。两个视频剪辑工作室，一个语音录音室，服务器室，储藏室和仓库。

-将该办公室分成两个科，一个是高级管理科，另一个是业务人员科；

- to divide the office in two sections, one for higher management and one for the operative staff;

-设计业务区域，使所有工作人员都能在同一空间工作，同时保持董事和操作人员之间的分工，并保持Viola通信部(广告、公共关系、活动、制片、户外)的特点。

- to design the operative area so that it allows all staff to work in the same space, while maintaining a division between directors and operatives and preserving the character of each of the departments of Viola Communications (Advertising, Public Relations, Events, Producers, Outdoor).

这种具有挑战性的请求的结果基本上是一个项目。

The outcome of such challenging requests is basically two projects in one.

较高的管理区在视觉上令人印象深刻，但又精致而优雅。主要材料是黑色大理石和橡木；一个简单的调色板使空间充满活力，并给游客进入总部的感觉，高调，世界级的公司。

The higher management area is visually striking, yet refined and elegant. Main materials are black marble and oak; a simple colour palette makes the spaces vibrant and gives visitors the feeling of entering the HQ of a high-profile, world-class company.

该行动区有一个非常有创意和时髦的外观，绝对是阿布扎比的独特之处。主办公室是一个开放的空间，维奥拉的所有部门一起工作.分区是通过使用“钢瓶”和“盒子”来实现的。钢瓶是开放式的吊舱，里面有创意总监办公室，他们有自己的空间，同时与他们的团队直接接触。包厢内设有封闭的办公室、录音室和会议室，与主开放空间区域完全分开。所有团队都可以轻松地进行互动和并行工作，同时保持各自的环境。不同的颜色被用来标记每个部门和地毯的定制设计也相应地变化。

The operative area has a very creative and funky look, definitely something unique for Abu Dhabi. The main office is an open-space where all departments of Viola work together. The zoning is achieved with the use of “the Cylinders” and “the Boxes”. Cylinders are open pods containing creative directors’ offices, who have their own space, while being in direct contact with their teams. Boxes contain closed offices, recording studios and meeting rooms fully separated from the main open-space area. All teams can easily interact and work side-by-side, while maintaining their individual environment. Different colours are used to mark each department and carpets’ custom-made design also changes accordingly.

几个不同的主题是用来给每个空间一个独特的特征，始终确保所有的领域是很好地融合在一起，并遵循相同的设计理念。

Several different themes are used to give a distinctive character to each space, always making sure all areas are blending nicely together and following the same design concept.

主入口的灵感来自一个地铁站，在那里，一个定制的地毯展示了一幅彩色的地铁地图，将游客连接到介绍性屏幕板上，与维奥拉五个部门的引人入胜的演示(对于游客来说，进入办公室就像是通过创造力开始了一段旅程)。

The main entrance is inspired by a metro station, where a customized carpet illustrating a colorful metro map connects visitors to introductory screen-boards with engaging presentations of the five departments of Viola (for visitors, entering the office is like starting a journey through creativity).

娱乐区的形成源于对世界著名的俄罗斯方块的重新诠释，俄罗斯方块是80年代视频游戏产业的象征，其鲜明的VGA色彩。

The recreational area takes shape from the reinterpretation of the world-famous Tetris, an icon of 80’s videogaming industry and its bright VGA colours.

董事会会议室的特点是一个瑞士奶酪一样的外壳和匹配的定制灯配件；这种开口的隔板允许正确的开放程度，而不损害必要的隐私。

The board meeting room is characterized by a swiss-cheese-like enclosure and matching custom-made light fittings; such openings in the partition allow for the correct amount of openness without compromising on the necessary privacy.

在第二大会议室里，一张摆着椅子的不敬的会议桌把所有与会者带回了童年，对新总部来说，这无疑是一种“必须尝试”的吸引力，既便于与同事进行头脑风暴，又能与最正式的客户打破僵局。

In the second largest meeting room, an irreverent meeting table with swinging chairs brings all meeting attendees back to their childhood and surely is a “must try” attraction for the new HQ, making it very easy to brainstorm with colleagues as well as to break the ice with the most formal clients.

 Floor Plan

在开放空间办公室里散落着几个“智囊团”；这些活动盒子用五颜六色的布料轻柔地软垫着，装有屏幕、灯和HDMI-USB接口，可以连接到任何楼层箱，以便进行即兴和非正式的演示、快速的头脑风暴会议，或者只是稍微放松一下。

Scattered around in the open space office are also several “think-tanks”; these movable boxes, softly upholstered in colourful fabrics, are fitted with screens, lights and HDMI-USB connections and can be connected to any floor box for improvised and informal presentations, quick brainstorming sessions or just a bit of relax.

大多数材料、饰面、固定装置和家具都是根据客户和设计师的要求定制的，是专门为这个项目设计的；项目中几乎没有直线，每一件作品都有点独特，因为在大多数情况下，即使看起来相似或重复的主题实际上也是不同的。

Most of the materials, finishes, fixtures and furniture were custom made to suit Client’s and Designer’s requirements and were designed specifically for this project; there is almost no straight lines in the project and each piece is kind of unique, as even the themes that look similar or repeated are in fact different from each other in most cases.
