Edmunds的“EdQuarters”总部占两层楼,室内外面积总共为143,000平方英尺,设计师以汽车为主题,运用汽车中的典型元素,将这里打造成为了一个创新的办公空间。
With two floors and outdoor space totaling 143,000 square feet, Edmunds’ “EdQuarters” is an inventive space that weaves together a cross-section of tech and automotive-themed designs.

“我们的团队根据业主的需求,将价值和设计结合在了一起。”M+M Creative Studio首席执行官Chris Mitchell说道,“我们与业主深入交流,没有像其他设计师那样仅是在空间中强调自己的设计理念,而是在常规设计之外付出许多努力,创造了这个独一无二的空间。”
“Our team is humbled to be singled out among this extraordinary collection of international designers and be bestowed this honor in recognition of the combined value and design we contributed to our client” said M+M Creative Studio CEO Chris Mitchell. “The relationship that we developed with our client allowed us to strive for something that was certainly outside the standard kit of design parts and we knew we had built something one-of-a-kind when we saw multiple groups of people effortlessly using the space to create and energize their own brand of corporate culture.”
一层镜面不锈钢接待台上方设置了两辆Corvettes高级跑车,它们一正一倒,轮胎相对,随着转盘共同旋转,吸引着所有进入建筑的人的目光。此外,一层内还设置了一个优雅的供员工聚会交流的咖啡吧,墙面上以2472个火柴盒大小的小车拼出了Edmunds的logo,一辆1948年的凯迪拉克被改造成了带啤酒龙头的吧台。
The first floor is anchored and highlighted by two Corvettes mounted and turning in unison above the mirror-polished stainless steel reception desk. Other design features on the first floor include a long and elegant coffee bar where employees are encouraged to gather and interact, a mosaic of 2,472 ‘Matchbox’ cars assembled to form Edmunds’ logo, and a 1948 Cadillac that has been converted into a beer tap and bar.

二层的主体区域内设置有支架桌面系统,可以根据个人需要灵活排列;空间中还散布着小型会议室,并设安静的休息点和一个IT服务台以满足各种各样的需求。
The bulk of the second floor is comprised of a plank-desking system that allows flexibility in linear feet per person, as well as additional smaller meeting rooms dispersed throughout and miscellaneous programmatic requirements such as quiet rooms (‘Rest Stops’) and an IT service desk (the ‘Pit Stop’).

与此同时,一座面积为10,000平方英尺的室外中庭提供了更多的社交和私人空间,与旁边的室内区域通过总长超过130英尺的伸缩玻璃门连接。中庭内,15英尺长的线性花坛,汩汩流淌的水景和安装在地面上的LED灯平行排布,如同坐车穿过高速公路时看到的景观。
Meanwhile, a 10,000 square-foot exterior central atrium offers both larger social and more intimate spaces connected to the adjacent interior spaces with over 130 linear feet of retractable glass doors. Inside the atrium itself, the multiple 15’ long raised linear planters, gurgling water features and in-ground LED lighting run in parallel lanes like cars seen from above passing on a super-sized highway.

“我们委托M+M Creative Studio设计一座可以在洛杉矶硅谷海滩技术社区中脱颖而出的设施,”Edmunds.com首席执行官Avi Steinlauf说道,“但是更重要的是,我们希望得到一个可以满足员工需求的空间。设计团队成功地创造了一个充满活力的奇妙空间,让员工可以在其中自由地合作,思考和创新。”
“We came to M+M Creative Studio with a grand vision of a facility that would stand out as an icon of Los Angeles’ Silicon Beach tech community,” said Edmunds.com CEO Avi Steinlauf. “But more importantly, we wanted a space where we could focus on the needs of our employees first. Chris, Sandra and their team successfully delivered a uniquely vibrant environment where our people can freely collaborate, think and innovate.”
