When Slack asked O A to create its new multi-floor headquarters in San Francisco one design story presented itself immediately. Slack’s CEO Stewart Butterfield is an outdoorsman, a hiker who goes off grid every year and recharges in the various types of wilderness—desert, mountains, forest—that make up the Pacific Crest Trail. Because that trail forms a bridge between two of Slack’s offices in Vancouver and San Francisco it seemed a thematic link too rich to pass up. O A’s concept was to create a floor-by floor evocation of those landscapes—in effect to turn a trip up the elevator into a virtual trip from Baja to the Pacific Northwest. The idea was to suggest not just a variety of topographical and botanical contexts, but to capture, as well, the experiential links between hiking a wilderness trail—and work.

当斯拉克要求奥A在旧金山建立新的多层总部时，一个设计故事立刻出现了。Sack的首席执行官斯图尔特·巴特菲尔德(Stewart Butterfield)是一名户外旅行者，他每年都离开电网，在构成太平洋峰径(Pacific Crest Trail)的各种荒野中重新充电-沙漠、山脉、森林。因为这条小径形成了斯拉克在温哥华和旧金山的两个办公室之间的桥梁，这似乎是一个主题链接，过于丰富，不容错过。OA的概念是创建一个楼层-逐层唤起这些景观-实际上是将电梯上的一次旅行变成了从巴哈到太平洋西北的虚拟旅行。这个想法不仅是为了提出各种地形和植物学背景，而且也是为了捕捉徒步旅行和工作之间的经验联系。

Every Day at Work Is a New Path Taken Slack’s team saw a value in having each floor reflect the variety and irregularity of nature. Just as wayfinding on a mountain trail, is often a matter of conferring with other hikers, every work day is an experience of collaborating with others to find your way to the next level. The unique configurations of each floor at Slack echo the mental stimulation—and need for community— that comes with taking a new path.

每一天的工作都是一条新的道路，斯拉克的团队看到了一种价值，那就是让每一层楼反映出大自然的多样性和不规则性。就像在山路上找路一样，通常是和其他徒步旅行者商量的问题，每一天的工作都是与其他人合作的一种体验，让你找到通往下一层的道路。斯莱克每一层楼的独特配置都呼应了精神刺激-以及对社区的需求-这是一条新的道路。

Cracked Earth to Walls of Moss To replicate indoors the distinctly outdoor experience of the Pacific Crest Trail O A chose a succession of finishes and palettes that subtly suggest changing landscapes. Each floor draws its look and feel from the characteristics of its natural inspiration. Floor 2’s baked earth colors and ubiquitous cacti, for example, evoke the Baja desert while Floor 5’s “quiet please” library captures the stillness of a mountain lake. This motif is sustained across 10 floors with wilderness cues as varied as old growth forests, mountain streams, volcanoes and glaciers. Every floor includes conference room wall graphics created from the wilderness photography of Slack employee Adam Torres and room names taken from the skies, the trails and the living things of the wilderness.

在苔藓的墙壁上破碎的地球在室内复制，太平洋尖峰轨迹OA的明显的户外体验选择了一系列的饰面和调色板，微妙地暗示着景观的改变。每一层楼都从其自然灵感的特征中提取出它的外观和感觉。例如，第二层的烤土色和无处不在的仙人掌，让人联想到巴哈沙漠，而第五层的“安静请”图书馆则捕捉到了山湖的宁静。这个主题横跨10层楼，与古老的生长森林、山溪、火山和冰川一样多样的荒野线索。每一层楼都包括从荒野拍摄的会议室墙壁图形，以及从天空拍摄的房间名称，以及荒野的小径和生物。

Turn a Corner and… Oh! Central to O A’s design concept was the idea that every work project, like every hike in the wilderness, is a process of discovery. Classic interior design frames large architectural moments to attract the most eyes at once. At Slack those moments come as “scenic surprises”—like an unexpected good idea. You turn a corner and there is a wall installation that replicates the topography of Lake Tahoe in a way that seems to float in space. You walk down a pathway and there is a “starry night” room like a stage set from a Sam Shepard play. You take your laptop to a lounge area and the light changes in a rhythm attuned to the time of day. In every instance the beauty is a reward for effort, a reinforcement of the idea that she who ventures away from her desk makes the most of her workday.

拐角处和…噢!OA设计理念的核心是，每一个工作项目，就像野外的每一次徒步旅行一样，都是一个发现的过程。经典的室内设计框架，大型建筑瞬间吸引最多人的目光。在斯拉克，这些时刻都是“风景惊喜”-就像一个意想不到的好主意。你拐过一个拐角处，就会发现墙上的装置，以一种似乎漂浮在太空中的方式，复制了塔霍湖的地形。走在一条小路上，就会有一个“星空之夜”的房间，就像山姆·谢泼德戏剧中的舞台。你把你的笔记本电脑带到休息区，光线就会随着时间的变化而变化。在每一种情况下，美丽都是对努力的奖励，它强化了这样一种观念，即离开办公桌的人充分利用了自己的工作时间。

The Trail Never Ends Hikers and campers know that a favorite trail or campsite is never the same place twice. At different times of year and as the years progress, it changes, offering new pleasures and new challenges every time. O A’s design for Slack builds that capacity for change into the workspace. Every floor is equipped to adapt to the changing needs of a single work session or a months-long project. Like a natural setting, this setting inspired by nature welcomes what the day brings and reaches out to meet it.

徒步旅行者和露营者都知道，一条最喜欢的小径或露营地从来都不是同一个地方两次。在一年中的不同时期，随着岁月的进步，它会发生变化，每次都会带来新的快乐和新的挑战。OA的Sack设计为工作空间建立了改变的能力。每一层楼都配备了适应变化的需要的单一工作会议或一个月的项目。就像一个自然的环境，这个受自然启发的环境欢迎这一天带来的东西，并伸出手来迎接它。
