从思科-梅拉基的新办公室可以看到旧金山海滨的全景，这在某种程度上为OA的设计设置了主题。从几乎任何角度来看，室内都会给人一种光线、空间、明亮的颜色、长长的视线的印象。最近被思科系统(Cisco Systems)收购的Meraki公司，对其无线路由器设计的优雅感到自豪。OA试图像美拉基(Meraki)那样打造产品空间，强调简单和无缝易用，同时也要注意思科-梅拉基合并对公司形象的重要性。位于快速变化的使命湾社区，思科-梅拉基的11万平方英尺的办公室现在成为思科在旧金山的主要地点。

The panoramic view of San Francisco’s water front from Cisco-‐Meraki’s new offices in some ways setsthe theme for O+A’s design. Viewed from almost any angle, the interiors create an impression of light, spaciousness, bright color, long sightlines. Meraki, which was recently acquired by Cisco Systems, takes pride in the elegance of the wireless routers itdesigns. O+A sought to build the space the way Meraki builds its products, with an emphasis on simplicity and seamless ease of use, while remaining mindful of the importance of the Cisco-‐Meraki merger to the company’s identity. Located in the rapidly changing Mission Bay neighborhood, Cisco-‐Meraki’s 110,000-‐square-‐footsuite of offices now becomes Cisco’s principal San Francisco location.

一开始，OA对Meraki的员工进行了调查，以了解他们对其规模小得多的老总部的喜爱之处。一个共识出现了自然光，大量的合作空间，和保存公司的仍然编织的文化。新空间的面积和地板到天花板窗户的突出位置，使得协作和自然光线相对容易整合。OA的设计提供了各种会议空间-正式和非正式，室内和室外-其中许多沐浴在水晶线光旧金山湾。天平和灯光支撑着丰富的色彩和设计元素：一条宽阔的楼梯，其底座为综合体育场座位，一间会议室内有悬挂的石竹植物，还有一个室外甲板，可欣赏棒球公园和海湾大桥的景色。

At the outset, O+A surveyed Meraki’s employees to find out what they liked about their old, much smaller headquarters. A consensus emerged for natural light, plenty of collaboration space, and preservation of thecompany’stightly knit culture. The size of the new space and the prominence of its floor-‐to-‐ceiling windows made collaboration and natural light relatively easy to incorporate. O+A’sdesign offers a variety of meeting spaces—formal and informal, indoor and outdoor—many of them bathed in the crystal line light of San Francisco Bay. The scale and the light support a rich palette of colors and design elements: a wide staircase with integrated stadium seating at its base, a meeting room with hanging tillandsia plants, and an outdoor deck offering views of the baseball park and Bay Bridge.

主要拘留梅拉基的舒适氛围，在机库大小的综合体证明更具有挑战性。啊，阿苏里是要在大脚印中创造一堆小的聚集地。沉没的座位带来亲密的水平公共区域，同时保持广泛的视线。蒙古包、小屋和电话室提供不同级别的围护设施。在整个办公室里，同事们可以坐下来，在非正式的休息室里交谈。

Main taining Meraki’s cozy ambience in the hangar-‐sized complex proved more challenging. O+A’ssolution was to create a medley of small gathering spaces within the large footprint. Sunken seatingbrings intimacy to horizontal common areas while preserving broad sightlines. Yurts, cabanas, and phone rooms offer varying levels of enclosure. Throughout the office, colleagues can sit down and talk in informal lounge spaces.

尽管内容丰富，种类繁多，但OA的目标之一是给思科(Cisco-Meraki)的员工一张空白的画布，让他们在上面画自己的画。OA提供了无处不在的黑板、白板和软木板，以代替无处不在的品牌图形，从而使员工能够勾勒、书写和拼凑出对他们意义重大的图形。不出所料，考虑到该公司强大的自主文化，机动性和适应性是选择家具和工作站的重要因素。这些人喜欢到处走动。

Despite the rich finishes and the wide array of typologies, one of O+A’s goals was to give Cisco-‐Meraki employees a blank canvas on which to paint their own pictures. In lieu of pervasive branding graphics, O+A provided ubiquitous chalkboards, whiteboards, and corkboards so that employees could sketch, write, and pin-‐up graphics meaning ful to them. As might be expected, given the company’s strong do-‐it-‐yourself culture, mobility and adaptability were big factors in the selection of furniture and work stations. These are people who like to move things around.

目的是要驯服这个大空间，使它成为人类。看着梅拉基的员工骑着独轮车从一个部门走到另一个部门，在微风的甲板上聚在一起吃午饭，或者全天利用圆顶墙的“弹奏”，我们相信这一目标已经实现了。

The intention was to tame the big space and make it human. Watching Meraki employees travel from department to department via unicycle, gather for lunch on the breezy deck, or make use of the yurtsand wall “pop-‐ins” throughout the day, we believe that goal was achieved.
