架构师提供的文本描述。Mack Energy公司办公室的架构唤起了这家独立能源公司在形式和材料上参与石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产的工作。双层建筑入口大胆的铰接式幕墙使人想起钻井平台的骨架形式，而混凝土面板上的浮雕则模拟了地球的分层。在整个建筑中，天然材料的大量使用将建筑与新墨西哥州多样的景观环境-阳光、沙漠和山脉联系在一起。在中庭内，两堵高耸的墙被石头覆盖，显示出新墨西哥州东南部和得克萨斯州西部富含石油的岩层，它们也是水墙，通过嵌入地面的一条通道流入一个小的内部池塘。一个高大的，戏剧性的雕塑描绘了一个活跃的井中的场景，并与外部框架的清晰度相呼应。

Text description provided by the architects. The architecture of the corporate offices for Mack Energy evokes the independent energy company’s engagement in oil and gas exploration, development and production in both form and materials. The boldly articulated curtainwall of the double height building entry recalls the skeletal form of drilling rigs whilecast relief on the concrete panels mimics the stratification of the earth. Throughout the building the abundant use of natural materials ties the structure to New Mexico’s diverse landscape environment — sun, desert, and mountains. Inside the atrium two of the soaring walls, clad in stone with a pattern that reveals the oil rich rock strata of southeastern New Mexico and west Texas, are also water walls that flow into a small interior pond though a channel imbedded in the floor. A tall, dramatic sculpture depicts a scene from an active well and echoes thearticulation of the exterior frame.

双容量空间也是游客的组织空间，是公民空间，是向行政职能的安全过渡，也是户外活动的强烈视觉焦点。空间高度允许充足的自然光淹没建筑物的核心，促进办公室翅膀之间的水平可见性，并通过一个阁楼走道通过大厅的体积传达建筑的循环。

The double-volumeatrium also serves as an organizing space for visitors, as a civic space, as a secure transition to the administrative functions, and as a strong visual focus to the outdoors. The height of the space allows ample natural light to flood the core of the building, promotes horizontal visibility between the office wings, and communicates building circulation through the volume of the lobby by a loft walkway.

从精致的木材和石材接待处和邻近的座位区，游客通过一个宏伟的楼梯垂直穿过开放的大厅移动到二楼，为整个空间提供了清晰的游行感觉和焦点。定制的预浇铸楼梯悬挂在中间的钢绞线和缆绳扶手上，二楼的员工享受到更好的跨部门合作机会，这是因为该计划提供的邻近性和中庭空间所提供的能见度。除公司和行政办公室外，大楼占地56 000平方英尺，可容纳工程部、地质部和实验室、土地和农场部、会计、法律支助、人力资源、生产和信息技术部门的办公室。会议空间，住宅级厨房，服务器室，壁球球场，和安全的金库周围的全套服务，AA级，公司办公室。

From the refined wood and stone reception desk and adjacent seating area, visitors move vertically though the open lobby to the second floor via a grand stair, which provides a clear sense of procession and focal point for the space. The custom pre-cast stairs cantilever off a center stringer with a patina steel and cable handrail.Employees on the second floor enjoy improved opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration due to both the proximity provided by the plan and the visibility afforded by the atrium space. In addition to the corporate and executive offices, the building’s 56,000 square feet accommodates offices for the engineering department, geology department and labs, the land and farm department, accounting, legal support, human resources, production, and IT.

对于一家能源公司来说，这可能是一项令人惊讶的声明，该建筑通过强调将可见和不可见的可持续功能整合到建筑中，反映了该公司对环境的承诺。可持续的功能包括采光、采水造景、路面遮阳以避免热岛效应、反光玻璃、窗户遮阳装置、节水管道装置。还有反光屋顶系统。当地制造的可持续材料和高回收含量的产品被优先考虑。

In what might be a surprising statement for an energy company, the building reflects the company’s commitment to the environment through the design’s emphasis on integrating seen and unseen sustainable features into the building.Sustainable features include daylighting, water harvesting for landscaping, shading of pavement to avoid the heat island effect, reflective glass, shading devices for windows, water efficient plumbing fixtures, and a reflective roofing system. Locally manufactured sustainable materials and products with a high-recycled content were given priority.
