激情共和国是一个动画游戏工作室,他们请WHBC建筑事务所为自己打造了全新的工作空间。WHBC将办公室内部设计作为游戏场景的再现,同时因为游戏工作室需要有极高的安全性,为此设计师在入口设置了一个暗黑色的保险库门厅,不仅游戏味道十足也具有无以伦比的安全性,这里还安放了安全摄像机和传感器,让窃贼望而止步。 Passion Republic is a team of leading home-grown games animators. The studio has created characters and digital environments for many major games in the console market. To emulate the creative passion of the team, the interiors of the studio is visualised as a reflection of the gaming environment. The Lobby is the reproduction of a crossroad at the beginning of a game quest. As the studio necessitates a high level of security, the Lobby is rendered as a dark and grungy entrance into a vault room with unrivalled security. With solid walls built in steel, adapted from the hull of a ship; and a vault door secured with state-of-the-art security cameras and sensors, even the most experienced thieves would be discouraged.
穿过大门,就是联系工作区,会议区的大堂,大堂的窗户是落地窗,光线充沛,为了减少眩光,建筑师设计了一套能够遮光,也能够坐人的休闲娱乐窗帘。 Beyond the vault door, the Lobby serves as a main pivot point that connects to the Town Hall, the Clients Area and the Studio. The Town Hall greets Allies into a bright and airy atmosphere, a stark contrast to the Lobby. Full height windows along the circumference of the quarter-pie plan of the Town Hall allow abundance of daylight into the spaces. Although daylight is desired in the Towhall, this however creates glare within an environment where majority of works are carried out on a computer.
整个办公区是开放的,为了让工作人员尽情创造,照明和网络连线都能适应工位的灵活调整。每个座位桌子上方都有一个柜子放物品,这个柜子在减少眩光的同时,也不遮挡过多的光线,保证工作人员有足够的划线进行草图绘制。 ’Soft Brise-Soleil’, a bespoke system of curtain were introduced as a glare reducing filter. The curtain system doubles as seating’s and swings for social and collaborative congregations at the Town Hall and encourage a more informal way of working.
Studio workstations were designed as creatures from the animators’ imagination. The overhead shelves were specifically designed to block out overhead glare but at the same time provide enough lighting to allow sketching to be done on the desk.
The power, lighting and network of the studio were designed to be flexible and adaptable to additions and omissions, encouraging a versatile working environment and future expansion.
