In the downtown corporate area of Sao Paulo, Brazil, highly respected and innovated design and architectural teams at Studio Thelma Epstein recently completed a high-end private space for a notable law firm. This office space provides more than just an effective working environment for its employees; it’s also a fantastic example of places that provide an experience of sophisticated professionalism to its clients and cohorts as well.

在巴西圣保罗市中心的商业区，特尔玛爱泼斯坦工作室(StudioThelmaEpstein)受到高度尊重和创新的设计和建筑团队最近为一家著名的律师事务所建造了一个高端私人空间。这个办公空间不仅为员工提供了一个有效的工作环境；它也是一个极好的例子，为其客户和团队提供了经验丰富的专业经验。

This office had a head start in its pomp and circumstance because it’s actually located in one of the most distinguished corporate buildings in the whole city of Sao Paulo. The designers and client alike, however, aimed to make this particular space stand out compared to the other stunning offices around it rather than just relying on the default sophistication that the space already provided.

这个办公室在它的华丽和环境方面有一个先机，因为它实际上位于整个圣保罗最杰出的公司建筑之一。然而，设计师和客户都致力于使这个特定的空间与周围其他令人惊叹的办公室相比脱颖而出，而不是仅仅依赖于已经提供的空间的默认复杂程度。

This goal was achieved by elaborating on the distinguished details that already existed, resulting in an atmosphere and aesthetic that looks high end and contemporary but also sober and serious, as though you can sense immediately upon walking through the door that expectations and standards in this place are high. This aligns perfectly with the values and reputation of the law firm itself.

这一目标是通过详细阐述已经存在的杰出细节来实现的，由此产生了一种气氛和美学，它看上去是高端和当代的，但也是清醒和严肃的，仿佛你一走进这个地方的期望和标准就能立即感觉到这一点。这完全符合律师事务所本身的价值和声誉。

Visual esteem wasn’t the only goal in building these magnificent offices. They also needed to provide employees with everything they need day to day amidst the glamour. This priority accounts for the spacious social and meeting rooms, the high windows allowing for lots of natural light, the quiet private office spaces, and the unique lighting fixtures that add a particular luminosity to the space in partnership with the windows.

Overall, the effect here was to created a fully functional, hardworking office that has a generalized sense of refinement in the subtle details so as to almost look slightly understated. What you might not notice just by looking at the office is that the space is also a highly developed tech project. The entire workspace, for example, features automation which controls efficient, energy saving heating and cooling systems, controls al LED lights, connects and enables video conferencing capabilities, and runs network devices. The goal here was to make things as user friendly but high tech and efficient as possible and the setup is actually quite cutting edge.

总的来说，这里的效果是创建了一个功能齐全、工作勤奋的办公室，在微妙的细节方面具有一种普遍的精细化感，使其看起来几乎略显轻描淡写。你可能仅仅通过看办公室就不会注意到的是，这个空间也是一个高度发达的技术项目。例如，整个工作区具有自动化功能，可控制高效、节能的加热和冷却系统，控制所有LED灯，连接和启用视频会议功能，并运行网络设备。这里的目标是使事情成为用户友好，但高科技和效率尽可能和设置实际上是相当尖端的。

In the entryway of the office, stunning wooden side panels that perfectly frame natural and artificial light in one place and let it spill into the hallway entices visitor attention immediately. Natural stone adds a luxurious touch in the floor and around the bases of the walls and leading up to the walnut and marble reception desk, with state of the art inlaid lighting glowing along the whole walk from the elevators.

在办公室的入口，令人惊叹的木质侧板，完美地将自然和人工光线完美地放置在一个地方，并让它溢出到走廊中，立即吸引了游客的注意。天然石材在地板和墙壁底座周围增添了奢华的触感，通向胡桃和大理石接待处，最先进的镶嵌式照明从电梯一直延伸到整个步行处。

That same walnut element that keeps things looking a little bit understated in a calm, classy way continues into the main office space, where it can be noted in the details of the meeting rooms, CEO offices, and lounge areas. Glass partitions between these spaces allow light to flow and spaces to feel open even in a context where privacy and quiet work spaces are often necessary.

Despite the clear concentration on efficient and high class workspaces, there is an emphasis on break and social time as well. There is, for example, a coffee break balcony near the full functional kitchen that employees and visitors alike are encouraged to use for some entertainment and relaxation to keep them concentrated well and feeling good during the workday.

Even the bathrooms in this office bear a strong sense of sophistication and subtle high end drama. In fact, a client once compared them to those one might find in a designer boutique hotel! The monochromatic palette that adorns the rest of the space continues into this private area, creating a sense of cohesion.
