西班牙巴塞罗那Inaugure酒店集团总部

From the architect. YLAB Arquitectos designed the Inaugure Hospitality Group Headquarters in Barcelona at Paseo de Gracia, one of the most important shopping and business addresses in Barcelona.
该项目是的设计师是 YLAB Arquitectos ，项目位于巴塞罗那最重要的购物和商务街区。它是INAUGURE酒店集团总部办公地点。

We were invited to tender for the design and project management. We knew that to win the project we had to produce a design that met the client brief from a functional perspective, yet far exceed their expectations with the design concept and remain within budget.
我们被邀请参加投标的设计和项目管理。我们必须得从客户提供的简介和使用功能角度来思考这个项目项目，最终结果远远超过业主的期望并且使得整体设计保持在预算范围内。

Paris based consultancy agency Future Brand was appointed to manage the project corporate image, and as such distributed the basic brand strategy concepts. The client side project management distributed the functional information required to plan the office space efficiently, such as number of staff, number of open-plan spaces and closed offices, required number and size of meeting spaces, individual and departmental relationships; specialized areas, such as IT server room and functionality, and basic functions which include the pantry, storage and equipment areas. Inaugure Hospitality also asked us to create an organic, functional and an inspiring work space that encourages good communication; a place where people enjoy coming to work. 
总部设在巴黎的咨询机构未来的品牌被任命管理项目的企业形象，如分布式的基本品牌战略的概念。分布式计划所需的办公空间的功能信息客户端项目管理，如员工人数，开放式的空间和封闭的办公室，一些所需数量和会议空间的大小，个人和部门的关系；专业领域，如服务器机房和功能，基本功能包括厨房，存储设备区。inaugure酒店也要求我们创造一个有机的，功能和一个鼓舞人心的工作空间，鼓励良好的沟通；一个让人安心工作的环境。

Our starting point came from an organic development of the distribution with its functional areas.
我们的出发点是从其功能布局着手的。

We wanted the space tell a story, creating a tension between closed areas and voids, making the corridors and open spaces look as one continuous, zigzagging and soft curved element. In order to strength this idea some functional areas were visually integrated within the open space, separated by a transparent glass partition.
我们要讲一个故事，创造空间，封闭的区域和空隙之间的张力，使走廊和开放空间看作为一个连续的，曲折和软弯曲元件。为了加强这个想法，某些功能领域的视觉集成在开放的空间，通过透明的玻璃隔断分隔。

From there we wanted to create the illusion of movement throughout the space, drawing individuals along the corridor and inviting them to look around the next corner.

In the reception area an extra large white corian counter in front of a wooden paneled back wall give visitors a great first impression of the office. Closed to the entrance, in a more quiet zone, a lounge area provides a flexible environment for visitors and employees to rest or have a chat.At the Passeig de Gracia facade, the large scale meeting room, the Chairman’s office and a second office are facing the Antoni Gaudi’s Casa Mila, offering the right view for internal and client meetings.

The partitions are conceived to skillfully separate the individual areas, sufficiently blocking the view while allowing a maximum amount of natural light into the area.

Most walls are covered by an elegant wall paneling in ivory white lacquered wood, adding a glossy high quality finish to the whole space.

Closed to the meeting room this cladding is perforated forming a strong illuminated graphic which, at first glance, appears like a random array of freeform cut-outs shaped by scripted parametric textures. Only viewing it from a distance and a second look reveals that it displays the map of an important West African investment area like Dakar, the capital city of Senegal. This futuristic concept extends a wide arc to the origin of Inaugure as part of the Teylium International Group, as a West African holding company based in Senegal, with Inaugure Hospitality pointing to the future as a modern firm. Future meets History.

We faced various challenges during the concept development stage, one of which was planning a contemporary bright reflecting white look, as given by Future Brand’s corporate brand concept and adding a multi color scheme for the office furniture, as given by Inaugure’s Chairman.

As a result we created a white ambient formed by carpets, built-in furniture, walls and ceilings and introduced a slated warm Lenke wood (Afzelia africana) to the scheme, which we felt added warmth and a calming influence, as well as spiritual properties, according to West African cultures. Finally each room was given its own identity through different colored fine wool upholstered furniture.
