口袋式生活工作區

由專築網王沛儒，李韌編譯

來自建築事務所的描述。英國倫敦考文特花園（Covent Garden）的全新工作空間的使用者為住宅開發商Pocket Living，該空間沿著40米長的牆體而排布，這面牆體在辦公空間的公共與私人區域之間構成了滲透又活躍的入口。

Text description provided by the architects. The new workspace in Covent Garden for housing developers Pocket Living is structured around a forty-metre long inhabited wall that creates a permeable and active threshold between the public and private sides of their office.

這道牆體穿過建築現有辦公空間中不同形態的樓板，從而成為了造型和功能元素，建築師應用了十分低調的材料，此類材料反映了該公司的設計理念和經濟需求。

The wall winds through the unusually shaped floor plate of this existing office building as a formative and functional element, carefully constructed using modest materials that reflect the company’s design-focussed and affordable approach.

牆體上有許多開口，這些開口的長度經過精心協調而確定，它們對工作空間進行分層，也構成了框景的視覺效果，將城市景觀引入了室內。牆體將建築的活動空間分為前後兩個部分，並且也構成了會議室、健身房、休息室和餐廳區域。

The wall is permeable with openings along its length carefully co-ordinated to set up vistas through the layered workspace and onto the original windows which frame detailed views of the cityscape beyond. While separating front and back of house activities, the threshold wall goes further in containing and enclosing spaces which are utilised as meeting rooms, wellness rooms and break out and canteen spaces.

在私人會議室的一端是宴會座椅，而牆體的功能也就此而延伸，在主要的工作空間裡，包含有豐富的儲存空間和櫥櫃展示空間，另外還有非正式團隊會議、個人工作空間，以及一個設備齊全的廚房和用餐空間。

The function of the wall varies, beginning with banquet seating in a private meeting room at its very apex, in the main the workspace it contains extensive storage and display cabinetry along with spaces for discrete informal team meetings and solo working, and terminates by forming a fully equipped kitchen, dining space, and wellness room.

建築師決定使用北歐的白色染色雲杉膠合板等一些成本效益較高的材料，與輕質灰色鋼結構框架形成對比，從而強調了面板的不同尺度，另外建築師還應用了午夜藍層壓板，很好地展示了內部消極空間，這些消極空間由壁龕形式的原始木材體量而構成，它們用作櫥櫃。

The scheme utilises cost-effective robust materials in the form of a Nordic white stained spruce plywood, a contrasting light grey steel structural framework highlights panel size variations and a matt midnight blue laminate that expresses the negative space taken away from the initial timber mass in the form of alcoves, display tops and kitchen counters.

該項目成功地為不斷髮展、創新和多才多藝的組織提供了靈活的工作空間，也構成了開放式的合作私人環境，這對團隊的文化和工作實踐產生了積極的影響。

The project has been a success in providing a growing, innovative and versatile organisation a flexible workspace that offers a mixture of open collaborative and studious private spaces which has had a positive impact on the culture and working practices of the team.
