Interaction Studio created the ultimate workplace for money.co.uk by transforming their unique and characterful office in The Castle.

InteractiveStudio为Money.co.uk创造了最终的工作场所，改变了他们在城堡中独特而又有个性的办公室。

Ranked as the 2nd fastest growing business in the UK in 2015 by The Sunday Times, financial comparison website money.co.uk needed their workplace to support this recent exponential growth. The grade II listed Victorian ‘Castle’ they occupied, having had no major alterations in years also did not illustrate their current standing and vision for the future.

2015年，金融比较网站Money.co.uk被“星期日泰晤士报”评为英国第二大增长最快的企业。他们占据的维多利亚式城堡的二级建筑，多年来没有发生重大变化，也没有说明他们目前的地位和对未来的展望。

Representing their success through their workplace was important, but at the heart of the decision for the refurbishment was the team, rewarding the staff with the best place to work. This meant creating an environment where their team can flourish, fulfil their potential and feel happy. Furthermore the price comparison company needed their new inspiring work environment to continue to attract and retain the best talent in their industry.

通过工作场所代表他们的成功是重要的，但翻修决定的核心是团队，奖励工作人员最好的工作地点。这意味着创造一个环境，使他们的团队能够蓬勃发展，发挥他们的潜力，并感到快乐。此外，价格比较公司需要他们的新的鼓舞人心的工作环境，以继续吸引和留住本行业最优秀的人才。

The design concept was to juxtapose the traditional architecture of The Castle with a contemporary and one-of-a-kind finish. The unique building provides a characterful and quirky setting for a workplace, therefore the interior needed to reflect the eccentricity of the exterior.

设计理念是将城堡的传统建筑与现代建筑并排在一起，这是一种很好的饰面。独特的建筑为工作场所提供了一种独特而古怪的环境，因此需要内部来反映外部的偏心。

An important part of creating the best place to work meant looking beyond aesthetic and focusing on functionality. Having a diverse range of teams, from programmers to content writers, each with varying needs, money.co.uk’s workspace had to enable people to work the way they wanted. As a result Interaction explored the individual requirements of every employee, in order to design a multitude of flexible and adaptable workspaces tailored to the needs of the team. These spaces give people the freedom to work how they want, to support their wellbeing and thus productivity.

创造最佳工作场所的一个重要部分是超越美学和专注于功能。拥有各种各样的团队，从程序员到内容编写者，每个团队都有不同的需求，money.co.uk的工作区必须使人们能够按照他们想要的方式工作。因此，互动探索了每个员工的个人需求，以便设计出适应团队需求的灵活、适应性强的工作空间。这些空间使人们可以自由地工作，支持他们的福利，从而提高生产力。

There are a host of settings in which people can go for meetings, private work, training, relaxing or socialising. This includes the ‘ice cave’ which can be used for an informal meeting or to eat and socialise. There is also the ski lodge which be accessed through a secret door in the library, perfect for relaxation or quiet work.

在许多场合，人们可以参加会议、私人工作、培训、放松或社交活动。这包括“冰洞”，可用于非正式会议或吃饭和社交。还有一个滑雪小屋，可以通过图书馆的秘密门进入，是放松或安静工作的最佳选择。

以软件和技术为核心的他们的业务，拥有最好的技术，以无缝地与他们的工作环境。互动在每个房间都安装了SONOS，墙上安装了iPad，使团队能够享受到高效的环境。整个办公室还有30台电视机，它们都与HDMI矩阵相连，这使得协作变得轻而易举。他们的新的‘高科技’房间拥有一台98英寸的4K电视和最新的视频会议系统，使Money.co.uk的敏捷团队能够轻松地交流，而在每个会议室外面都有一个触摸屏预订面板。这些链接到所有员工的电子邮件日历，以方便和有效的系统。电影院还拥有7.2环绕声系统，内置高清投影仪和低音炮，并配有可定制的定制照明。

The work on The Castle was delivered whilst staff were in occupation and delivered in two stages. The main workspace was completed in the first phase, and the meetings spaces and informal rooms delivered in the second. Some of the major work included fitting a bespoke oak external staircase which links up the back of The Castle to the main entrance. A feature that was removed years ago; restoring the staircase was critical to unlocking how the space worked by allowing everyone to enter into the main hub of the building.

城堡的工程是在工作人员占用时交付的，分两个阶段交付。第一阶段完成了主要工作空间，第二阶段提供了会议室和非正式会议室。一些主要工作包括安装一个定制的橡树外部楼梯，连接后面的城堡和主要入口。这是几年前被删除的一项功能；修复楼梯对于打开空间是至关重要的，因为它允许每个人进入大楼的主枢纽。

Interaction also gave a new lease of life to neglected basement rooms, creating two gyms, one for cardio/yoga and another for weight training; both linked to changing rooms with showers. Another basement was transformed into a completely bespoke and one-of-a-kind Star Wars themed cinema. The cinema has proved to be a popular addition, being used as a unique setting for a company meeting, or for the team to relax and play Playstation as well as hosting film nights.

互动也给被忽视的地下室房间带来了新的生机，创建了两个健身房，一个用于有氧/瑜伽，另一个用于举重训练；两者都与更衣室有淋浴联系在一起。另一个地下室被改造成一个完全定制的星球大战主题电影。事实证明，电影院是一个很受欢迎的附加项目，它被用作公司会议的独特场所，或者是团队放松和玩PlayStation以及主持电影之夜的独特场所。

The result is a fun, unique and extraordinary workplace that goes beyond convention to give the people of money.co.uk the ultimate workplace. Proving that a workspace doesn’t have to be just a workspace, and can have a discernible positive impact upon the people and the business.

其结果是一个有趣、独特和非凡的工作场所，它超越了传统，为有钱人提供了最终的工作场所。证明工作空间不一定仅仅是一个工作区，并且可以对人员和业务产生明显的积极影响。

This project demonstrates that when wellbeing is placed at the centre of the brief and design, the workplace can be utilised as a tool to incite a positive culture and enhance productivity, creativity and collaboration. After 9 months on site, the client is beyond delighted with the finished product and the snag free delivery. The Castle is finally fit for the kings and queens of the tech world.

该项目表明，如果将福利置于简要和设计的中心，工作场所可作为一种工具来激发积极的文化并提高生产力、创造力和协作。在现场9个月后，客户对成品和免费送货都非常满意。城堡终于适合科技界的国王和王后了。
