AdGear成立于2010年,是一家蒙特利爾當(dāng)?shù)氐臄?shù)字營銷機(jī)構(gòu),現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)快速發(fā)展成為三星電子的獨(dú)立分支。該公司委托ACDF建筑事務(wù)所設(shè)計(jì)位于舊蒙特利爾麥吉爾街的新總部大樓。該建筑最初是一個(gè)建于1886年的干貨倉庫,二十世紀(jì)90年代末期才被改造成辦公樓。ACDF將這個(gè)由兩個(gè)相鄰樓房構(gòu)成的空間用隔斷墻將辦公室分成了兩個(gè)不同的區(qū)域。一邊是休閑開放區(qū),另一邊則是辦公區(qū)。
用于分割獨(dú)立辦公室的拋光玻璃貫穿兩層樓,與原有的紅磚和石墻形成了鮮明的對比。這些光滑的表面像一面鏡子一樣優(yōu)雅地展示了粗糙的粘土磚和木梁的豐富性。ACDF故意地讓表面很多缺陷的梁和石磚暴露出來,用它們來表達(dá)建筑的歷史感。建筑師在一些墻面采用了金色的有質(zhì)感的墻紙,來表達(dá)高級品質(zhì)感,同時(shí)與優(yōu)雅的浮雕天花板呼應(yīng)。內(nèi)部統(tǒng)一使用了黑色的石膏墻,在與锃亮的墻紙形成對比的同時(shí),也為其創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)天鵝絨質(zhì)感的框架。
開放區(qū)域的中心放置了黑板墻,便于公司員工隨時(shí)交流新的想法,白板巧妙地設(shè)立在磚墻上,鼓勵(lì)員工進(jìn)行即時(shí)獨(dú)立會(huì)議,并且給予他們可以直接在墻上寫字的權(quán)利可以讓員工與公司環(huán)境更加親密。
在這個(gè)約910平方米的大空間內(nèi),建筑師面對的難題之一便是如何將自然光引入整個(gè)空間內(nèi)。ACDF通過使用開放式空間和玻璃幕墻的設(shè)計(jì)讓光線可以從前后照入,交匯在中心,照亮了整個(gè)空間。被淺藍(lán)色穿孔鐵板罩住的主樓梯間讓陽光充分照入,進(jìn)一步最大化自然光線。新設(shè)計(jì)的樓梯展示了建筑的工業(yè)歷史,銳角的幾何圖形向現(xiàn)代工業(yè)化致意。這樣線條細(xì)膩、半透明的樓梯在不同的材質(zhì)厚度之間變換,延續(xù)了總部大樓內(nèi)的“對比”設(shè)計(jì)主題。樓梯同時(shí)也有融合的作用:它不僅是兩大區(qū)域的連接,同時(shí)也鼓勵(lì)了員工的交流以及團(tuán)隊(duì)的凝聚力。
這個(gè)吸引人的功能空間充分利用了磚木外殼和歷史特征,同時(shí)也引入了現(xiàn)代化元素讓新與舊相融合,象征著AdGear公司豐富的過去、現(xiàn)在和未來。
AdGear – a fast-growing digital marketing agency founded in Montreal in 2010, and now an independent branch of Samsung Electronics – commissioned ACDF Architecture to design its new headquarters located on McGill Street, in Old Montreal. Originally built in 1886 as a dry goods warehouse, the property was transformed into office space in the late 1990s. ACDF developed the space comprised of two adjoining buildings using the party wall to designate two distinct zones in the office. On one side, a casual, open area unfolds, while the other side is devoted to offices and workspaces.
Throughout the two floors, the rough red brick and stone of the central wall contrast with new materials such as the newly polished glass panes used to separate the individual offices. Like a mirror, the slick and elegant surfaces reflect and showcase the richness of the building’s rough clay bricks and wood beams. ACDF deliberately exposed the beams, stone inserts, the brick patterns, and celebrated their imperfections, enjoying how they narrate the history of the building. They added sections of golden, textured wallpaper that provide the space with a surprising air of nobility and underscore the elegantly embossed tin ceilings. Throughout, they created black Gypsum walls to provide contrast and create a velvet-like frame to the shiny wallpaper.
Black chalkboard walls located at the center of the open space are handy communication tools for the employees, and whiteboard panels cleverly positioned against the surrounding brick encourage staff to have impromptu stand-up meetings and give them the ability to literally write on the walls and take ownership of their environment.
One of the challenges with this 10,000-square-foot space was to draw natural light into the deep floor plates. By keeping an open floor plan and using the glass panels, ACDF’s design invites light from both the front and the rear of the building to meet in the center and illuminate the space. The main staircase – clad in robin’s egg blue perforated steel – allows sunlight to pass through, further maximizing the natural light. The new staircase evokes the building’s industrial past, while its angular geometry nods to a more contemporary era. Bringing together straight lines with finesse, and sheer volume with transparency, the staircase plays with the different depths of its materials, continuing the theme of contrast that defines AdGear’s headquarters. The staircase also possesses a unifying nature: more than just a connection between two large areas, it encourages employee cohesion and team building.
ACDF’s design of this engaging, functional environment makes the most of space’s brick-and-timber shell and historical features while inserting contemporary elements to a create a thoughtful union of old and new, symbolizing AdGear’s rich and textured past, present and future.
