架构师提供的文本描述。不同的用户模式形成了丰富的道路，形成了3种独特的办公空间，创造了一种小型化的城市街区体验。

Text description provided by the architects. Ample pathways formed by different user-patterns shape 3 unique office volumes, creating a miniaturized city block experience.

新加坡一家本土美容企业的新总部旨在满足其庞大的仓储、专业培训、会议和办公需求。这将成为其众多客户网点的主要资源和支助中心。SKLIM工作室面临的挑战是制定一项空间战略，同时处理广泛波动的人力/产品资源，同时为其培训和日常办公业务维持有利的环境。

The new headquarters of a homegrown beauty enterprise in Singapore was designed to address its huge storage, specialist training, meeting and general office needs. This would serve as the main resource and support centre for their numerous customer outlets. The challenge for Studio SKLIM was to derive a spatial strategy that simultaneously dealt with the widely fluctuating human/product resources and yet maintain conducive environments for their training and everyday office operations.

确定了3个用户群体，即服务、客人和工作人员，他们的用户模式和轨迹相当不同。使用手推车运送库存的服务人员可以直接进入商店，而客人可以通过视频和图片展示参观公司。不同的用户轨迹与其工作区域之间的关系是通过在相邻的工作组中放置类似的函数来确定的。这些主要的工作区域被安置在三个独特的白色卷与充分的循环路径周围的所有方面。

3 user groups were identified, namely Service, Guest and Staff which had rather different user patterns and trajectories. Service staff transporting inventory on trolleys had direct same grade access to the store while guests were given an introductory tour of the company through video and pictorial displays. The relationship between the different user trajectories and their work zones was worked out by the placement of similar functions in adjacent to possible work groups. These main work zones are housed in 3 unique white volumes with ample circulation paths surrounding all sides.

乍一看，由于流通空间和附属空间占据了几乎38%的楼面面积，这很难被看作是对空间的有效利用。在路径两侧的柜子的黑色带已经根据每个块小面的局部需要而被区分。此外，它们还为其美容设备提供全方位的无障碍存储设施，还设有洗涤区、印刷设施和座位区。在训练室附近，黑带的设计是为了在训练示范中容纳座位。另一层额外的空间复杂性包括连接桥梁和第二级空间的分层，这些空间既包括突破区，也包括灵活的工作站。

At first glance, with circulation and ancillary spaces occupying almost 38% of the floor area, this could hardly be seen as an efficient use of space. The black band of cabinets that flank the pathways has been differentiated according to the localized needs of each block facet. Besides, providing all round accessible storage for their beauty equipment, they also accommodate washing areas, printing facilities and seating areas. Adjacent to the training Room, the black band has been designed to accommodate seating during training demonstrations. Another added tier of spatial complexity includes a connecting bridge and the layering of second level spaces housing both the breakout area and the flexible workstations.

灵活性和孔隙度是通信的关键品质，特别是在这种多块配置中。会议室、培训室和座位区可以自主运作，也可以通过灵活的隔断合并成一个毗连的空间。此外，街区之间的视觉线有助于建立互补功能之间的关系，而通过墙壁的圆形孔则在较小的范围内完成这些连接。

Flexibility and porosity were crucial qualities for communication especially in this multi-block configuration. The meeting room, training room and seating area could function autonomously or be merged into one contiguous space through flexible partitions. In addition, visual sightlines between blocks help establish relationships between complementary functions while circular apertures through walls complete these linkages on a smaller scale.

虽然这三座写字楼独树一帜，但它们被规划成一个“城市集体”，横向和纵向都在缩减规模。除了允许自然日光进入内部办公区域外，不同的断面剖面还为这些通道增加了不同的空间维度，偏离了典型的走廊效应。每个区块的几何线是不同的，但却与相邻的块体有着微妙的层次关系。

While the three office blocks stand out uniquely on their own, they are planned as an ‘urban collective’ with tapering profiles both horizontally and vertically. Besides allowing for the flow of natural daylight into the inner office areas, the different sectional profiles also add a varied spatial dimension to these pathways, a departure from your typical corridor effect. The geometric lines of each block are distinct but yet relate to the adjacent block with a subtle gradation in form.

与美容企业的拓展相提并论，从它们起源于住宅中心，到它们在中央商业区的逐渐出现，美丽大厦将这些核心灵感转化为一个互动的办公环境，受到城市街区及其街道的活力的启发。

Drawing parallels with the beauty enterprise’s outreach, from their origins in the residential heartlands to their gradual presence in the central commercial area, Beauty Blocks translates these core inspirations into an interactive office environment inspired by the vibrancy of city blocks and their streets.
