架构师提供的文本描述。这个新的公司总部为当地一家广告公司，是对标准发行办公室环境的一种反应。人们在当今的工作场所需要互动。他们去工作，合作，头脑风暴，做研究，在非传统意义上“工作”这个词。我们在创造性环境中观察到的很多东西都是在非典型环境下的非正式互动，比如在走廊里偶然会面，或者在咖啡壶周围交谈。我们的设计是为了加强这种开放文化。

Text description provided by the architects. This new corporate headquarters for a local advertising agency is a reaction against the standard issue office environment. People require interaction in today’s workplace. They go to work to collaborate, to brainstorm, to do research, to “work” in nontraditional sense of the word. Much of what we observe in creative environments involves informal interaction in atypical settings, such as chance meetings in corridors or conversations around the coffee pot. Our design is structured to reinforce that culture of openness.

设计的核心是这些基本原则：人们喜欢多样性；他们需要聚集的地方；随意的互动培养团队精神和创造力；自然光是一件好事；一点视觉刺激也不会伤害到你。为了实现这一目标，我们从根本上改变了一个115，000平方英尺的70年代数据中心的内部结构，同时保持了外部的基本不变。除了在大楼中插入一个大型的室内灯光庭院外，还拆除了进一步的结构，将楼层间的空间连接成一个整体-加强了公司作为一个单一创意社区的文化和身份。

At its core, the design is informed by these basic tenets: people like variety; they need places to congregate; casual interaction fosters teamwork and creativity; natural light is a good thing; and a little visual excitement can’t hurt. To accomplish this, we radically altered the internal configuration of a 115,000 square foot 1970’s era data center while leaving the exterior essentially unchanged. In addition to the insertion of a large, interior light court dropped into the building, further structure was removed to connect the space between floors into one communicating whole – reinforcing the culture and identity of the company as a single creative community.
