架构师提供的文本描述。坐落在亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔一个发展中的城市地区的一个5英亩的小块土地上，新的Dial/Henkel总部将是一个创新的协作中心，完全融入索诺兰沙漠的更广阔的环境。这座建筑被认为是漂浮在沙漠台面上的水晶云，在斯科茨代尔路和101号高速公路的突出交汇处有着优雅的外观。该四层结构由两层玻璃幕墙组成，由双层陶瓷玻璃幕墙构成，双层玻璃幕墙覆盖着铝板、深层质地的灰泥和天然的阿什福克砂岩。

Text description provided by the architects. Sited on a compact sub-5 acre parcel in a developing urban area of Scottsdale, Arizona, the new Dial/Henkel headquarters will be an innovative collaborative center, completely integrated into its broader context of the Sonoran desert. The building is conceived as a crystalline cloud floating over a desert mesa, a graceful presence at the prominent intersection of Scottsdale Road and the 101 freeway. The four story structure is comprised of two levels of glass curtain wall, environmentally shaded by a double ceramic frit, above two levels clad in aluminum panels, deeply textured plaster, and native Ashfork sandstone.

从高速公路上看，它的南海拔700英尺，是麦克道尔山背景下7.5秒钟的体验。在北面，经过7分钟的随意步行，沿着折叠的立面移动，在150英尺的横梁下有一个廊柱耳蜗入口，还有一个‘咖啡厅’山脊的船头，在那里可以举行800人的全公司会议。这两件事都是北方街道排列的焦点。

From the freeway, its 700 foot south elevation is a 7.5 second experience against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains. On the north, a casual seven minute walk moves along a folded façade, animated by a porte cochere entry under a 150 foot beam, and the prow of a ‘cafetorium’ ridgeline—where 800 person all-company meetings can be held. Both of these events are focal to the alignments of streets to the north.

该设施允许拨号公司将其公司业务与R公司合并。

This facility allows Dial to fuse their corporate operations with R & D functions under one roof, fostering synergy across departments. The building will also serve as the anchor of Henkel North America operations, offering training and conference suite facilities. Programmed at 348,000 square feet for over 800 employees, and 1000 parking spaces in 3 levels below grade, planning is extremely efficient. The garage is accessed by two ramps and illuminated by suspended lighting and a natural lightwell across the entire south edge. Visitors can arrive via the garage or the front door; always they will be greeted by the central ‘vessel of light’, a 30 x 180 ft chamber linking all levels of the Dial world. A stair of perforated steel will be suspended below an inflated transparent ETFE membrane skylight with 2 layers of silver shade pattern. Visitors, vendors, and employees will enjoy break-out and meeting areas in the atrium on all levels. On levels 3 and 4, break areas will also extend long mountain vistas, past a level 3 roof garden—a great connection space for headquarters and R&D, bordering fitness and cafetorium areas.

该机构认真对待环境责任，相信自己的企业公民身份。创造良好、富有成效的工作环境也是一项严肃的任务。Dide/Henkel正在为该项目争取LEED银牌评级。该建筑物广泛使用热和遮阳技术，提高地面系统和间接照明的办公区域，并敏感地利用日光。在亚利桑那州，强烈的光是疲劳和发热的来源。在这里，它被过滤和扩散，均匀地和更深地分布在地板上，始终保持着与这个地方雄伟的天空和景观的联系。

The facility has taken environmental responsibility seriously, believing in its corporate citizenship. It has also been a serious charge to make great, productive working environments. Dial/Henkel is pursuing LEED silver rating for the project. The building makes extensive use of thermal and shading technologies, raised floor systems and indirect lighting in office areas, and sensitive use of daylight. In Arizona intense light can be a source of fatigue and heat gain. Here it is filtered and diffused to spread evenly and deeper into floorplates, always maintaining connection to the majestic sky and landscape of this place.
