架构师提供的文本描述。希腊市场的一家领先的国际批发贸易公司Astor Hellas来找我们设计他们在塞萨洛尼基的新总部，这是一个能在一个既反映他们的价值观又反映他们的品牌地位的开放环境中汇集他们所有功能的办公场所。

Text description provided by the architects. Astor Hellas, a leading wholesale international trading company in the Greek market, approached us to design their new headquarters in Thessaloniki, an office space that would gather all of their functions in an open environment which would reflect both their values and their brand position.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

在接待处，办公室面积极小，以容纳来访的伙伴和客户以及所有次要职能(如信息技术、档案和人事室)。

On the reception floor, office space is minimal so as to accommodate visiting partners and clients as well as all secondary functions (such as the IT, archive and personnel rooms).

它还设有中央会议室-与主要办公区域分开-确保更有效率和更具建设性的会议，避免干扰和不必要的干扰。另外，二楼仅供办公室使用，建立了一个更有成效的环境，而不必要地分散其他活动的注意力。公司的所有部门都与管理层一起聚集在一起，为有效和顺利的工作流程提供了一个直接的设置。

It also hosts the central conference room—detached from the main office areas—ensuring more efficient and constructive meeting sessions, away from interruptions and needless disturbances. Respectively, the second floor is reserved exclusively to office use, establishing a more productive setting without unnecessary distractions from other activities. All of the company’s divisions are gathered along with the management, providing a direct setting for an effective and smooth workflow.

为了“打破”建筑矩形平面图的刚性，我们决定把空间分割成更有活力的空间，这样每个办公区看起来都会更大，更接近旁边的一个。公司的日常运作需要各部门之间不断的交流，而视觉传达对于发声部门也同样重要。这种透明使得员工之间可以采取更直接的方式，同时他们的并置也创造了一种更大空间的错觉。

In order to “break” the rigidity of the building’s rectangular floor plan, we decided to fragment the space into more energetic volumes that would make each office area appear larger and more connected to the one next to it. The daily operations of the company require constant interchange between its various divisions and visual communication is equally important to vocal one. The transparencies allow for a more direct approach between employees, while at the same time their juxtaposition creates an illusion of a much bigger space.

由于必须解决玻璃隔板可能引起的混响问题，整个(隔间隔板、地板等)都使用了更柔软、更吸声的材料。为了提供一个工作友好的空间，消除办公机器的环境噪音，尽量减少电话和谈话中的背景噪音，存储空间和便利设施隐藏在木质墙壁后面，从而避免了视觉混乱，而视觉杂乱在充满信息的工作场所至关重要。

Having to tackle the reverberation issues that could be caused by the glass divisions, softer and more sound-absorbing materials were used throughout (cubicle dividers, flooring, etc.) in order to provide a work-friendly space by eliminating the environmental noise from office machines and minimizing background ones from phone calls and conversations.Storage space and amenities are hidden behind the wood-cladded walls, thus avoiding visual clutter which is crucial in an information-filled workplace.
