From the architect.

在加州红木城的Evernote，严格的预算和快速的建设速度帮助决定了设计的方向。Evernote是一家在线数据存储公司，它允许用户保存(并检索)从POST到照片到云中正式文档的所有内容。随着公司搬进一座比以前大得多的大楼，随着业务的蓬勃发展，Evernote需要在其新的空间中以最少的停机时间启动和运行。我们面临的挑战是设计一个与Evernote不断飙升的形象相称的办公室-基本上是一个启动预算和时间表。

At Evernote in Redwood City, California, the strict budget and swift pace of construction helped determine the direction of the design. Evernote is an online data storage company that allows its users to save (and retrieve) everything from Post-It notes to photographs to formal documents in the Cloud. With the company moving into a much larger building than it had previously occupied, and with business booming, Evernote needed to be up and running in its new space with a minimum of downtime. Our challenge was to design an office commensurate with Evernote’s soaring profile—on what was essentially a start-up budget and schedule.

我们从把建筑过程作为审美的一部分这一概念开始。在清洁和现代的环境中，建筑材料可能获得更丰富的装饰的设计影响。Evernote的咖啡吧和休息区都覆盖着道格拉斯冷杉胶合板，其纹理和纹理提供了自己的图形图案。放弃了昂贵的室内品牌，Evernote雇佣了粉笔艺术家dana tanamachi为公司的身份设计了一个墙大小的表示法，并附有标语“记住一切”和大象标志。低维护，节水植物在相邻的墙壁有助于接待区的非强制空间的外观。

We began with the concept of making the process of construction part of the aesthetic. In a clean and modern context, construction materials may acquire the design impact of richer finishes. Evernote’s coffee bar and break areas are clad with Douglas fir plywood, the texture and grain of which provides its own graphic patterns. Forgoing expensive interior branding, Evernote instead hired chalk artist Dana Tanamachi to draft a wall-sized representation of the company’s identity, complete with its tagline, “Remember everything,” and elephant logo. Low-maintenance, water-conserving plants on an adjoining wall contribute to the reception area’s look of unforced spaciousness.

此外，非正式的是在接待站放置一个咖啡吧-配有功能齐全的甜甜圈和糕点柜台。埃弗诺特的使命是将冲动转化为持久的信息档案，我们的设计将其员工的自发习惯(例如，抵达时抓取甜甜圈)转变为一种持久的元素。

Adding to the informality is the placement of a coffee bar—with fully functioning donut and pastry counter—at the reception station. An echo of Evernote’s mission of turning impulses into lasting archives of information, our design transforms the spontaneous habits of its staff (grabbing a donut on arrival, for example) into a lasting element.

这种自发性的鼓励在连接第二层和第三层的白色灰烬楼梯上得到了重申。宽楼梯配备了缓冲踏板座椅，使它成为一个自然聚集的地方和地区的放松。整个办公室还有其他休息和非正式会议的空间-一个大型公共餐厅；一个乒乓球桌；一个指定的健身中心，配备了跑步机、固定自行车和其他锻炼设备；还有一系列摆放在战略位置上的小吃和咖啡柜台。所有这些休息选择的累积结果是一种环境，促进了这些随意的互动，由此产生了许多创造性的冲动。

This encouragement of spontaneity is reprised in the white ash stairway that connects the second and third floors. The wide staircase is fitted with cushioned step seating to make it a natural gathering place and area for relaxation. There are other spaces for breaks and informal meetings throughout the office—a large communal dining room; a ping-pong table; a designated fitness center equipped with treadmills, stationary bikes, and other exercise devices; and a series of small, strategically placed snack and coffee counters. The cumulative result of all these break options is an environment that promotes those casual interactions from which so many creative impulses spring.

由于适合非正式协作的工作环境，Evernote的完成调色板很轻。白色的墙壁和柔和的口音与金色的木头和灯光混合在一起，增强了窗户的自然亮度，潜意识地传达了公司的精神-并将预算紧张、日程安排紧凑的建筑变成了令人难忘的东西。

As befits a work environment attuned to informal collaboration, the finish palette for Evernote is light. White walls and pastel accents mix with blonde wood and lighting that augment the natural brightness of the windows to subliminally communicate the spirit of the company—and turn a tight-budget, tight-schedule build-out into something memorable.
