这座位于波特兰珍珠区的历史悠久的仓库已经空置了十多年，直到维斯塔斯公司在北美的新总部促使它转型为一个生机勃勃的商业中心。办公室内部的设计是为了庆祝建筑结构的历史结构和现代工作环境的对比。

The historic warehouse in the Portland’s Pearl District had been vacant for more than a decade before Vestas’s new North American Headquarters inspired its transformation into a vibrant hub for business. The design of the office’s interior celebrates the contrast of the historic, textural fabric of the building structure against a sleek and modern working environment.

客户的主要目标之一是鼓励员工之间的协作和沟通，因此设计中的连接性和可见性至关重要。反应是一个高耸的五层中央中庭，它用自然光淹没了建筑的核心，最大限度地利用了景观，并创造了一种既具有视觉吸引力又实用的透明度。

One of the client’s main goals was to encourage collaboration and communication among employees, so connectedness and visibility in the design were critical. The response was a soaring five-story central atrium that floods the core of the building with natural light, maximizes views, and creates a transparency that is both visually appealing and practical.

工作区占据建筑的周边，并由中庭的玻璃墙定义，允许与其他区域最大限度的视觉连接，并提供最佳的日光。支持空间的“工具箱”位于每个小工作组的两侧。该设计基于对工作场所心理学和丹麦工作环境模式的前瞻性研究。

The work areas occupy the perimeter of the building and are defined by glass walls along the atrium, allowing for maximum visual connections to other areas and offering optimal daylight. A “tool box” of support spaces flanks each small work group. The design is based on forward-looking research into workplace psychology and Danish models of working environments.

完成调色板是有目的最小化，以加强前仓库的结构和最大限度的可持续设计战略。材料的选择涉及回收含量、区域制造、低或零VOC涂层、FSC认证的木材和再生材料。该建筑物的改造实现了LEED NC白金，并满足了国家历史名胜古迹登记册的要求。

The finish palette is purposefully minimalistic to enhance the fabric of the former warehouse and maximize sustainable design strategies. Materials were selected in respect to recycled content, regional fabrication, low- or zero-VOC coatings, FSC-certified woods, and reclaimed materials. The building’s transformation achieved LEED NC Platinum and met requirements of the National Register of Historic Places.
