在繁荣时期，一家著名的对冲基金收购了市中心两栋不同建筑的空间。由于一间办公室不仅位于各层楼之间，而且还位于多栋大楼之间，办公室空间就失去了凝聚力。随着事情的解决，包括创始人和首席执行官的离职，办公室空间也随之失去了凝聚力。他们打算把一栋大楼合并成一栋大楼，有6层相连的楼层，并有机会重新定义自己的身份。他们现有的办公空间大多采用过时的设计模式，周边办公室周围有坚固的墙壁，内部走廊密密麻麻。

A prominent hedge fund over the boom years had acquired spaces in 2 different buildings in midtown.  With an office divided among not only floors, but buildings, the office space lost cohesion.  As things settled out, including the departure of the founder and CEO, they looked to consolidate into 1 building with 6 contiguous floors and an opportunity to redefine their identity.  Much of their existing office space followed an outdated design model, perimeter offices with solid walls connected by a warren of interior corridors.

随着新的空间，他们期待创新。将注意力集中在能够促进自发互动的舒适空间上，这是一个接待区的设计，其中包括一个开放的楼梯，有一个相互连接的特色墙和一个有效的计划。

With the new space they looked to innovate. Bringing focus to amenity spaces that would promote spontaneous interaction, a design for the reception area which included an open staircase with an interconnecting feature wall and an efficient plan.

不确定未来5年市场会带来什么，设计模式是模块化的，这使得办公空间的扩张和收缩成为可能。

Unsure of what the market would bring over the next 5 years, the design model was one of modularity, that allowed for expansion and contraction of office space.

由可拆卸分区构建的办公室/工作室舱"社区"并且从一至十个房间弯曲。工作室作为共同的办公室，允许人们更愿意为开放的工作站放弃办公室。开放的周边提供了替代的循环路径和路径,“行走会议”."公用栏"在每个邻近的住房办公室用品、打印机、扫描仪和传真中，类似于浮动拷贝房间的功能。超过90%的办公楼层面积对周边窗口有不同的看法，其中有许多元素有助于LeedGold认证。非常大的地板和相当低的天花板高度进一步受到地板的损害，可能造成了传统的地板镶板“煎饼”地板，但通过将机械穿过8英尺的足舱天花板，工作站的天花板可扩展到近10英尺，从而在整个地板上提供空间多样性。

Office/Workroom Pods built from demountable partitions define ‘neighborhoods’ and flex from one to 10 rooms.  Workrooms function as common offices allowing for more willingness for people to give up offices for open workstations.  An open perimeter offers an alternative circulation route and a path for ‘walking meetings’.  ‘Utility Bars’ function like floating copy rooms within each neighborhood housing office supplies, printers, scanners, and faxes.  More than 90% of the office floor area has views to perimeter windows, one of the many elements contributing to the LEED GOLD certification.   The very large floor plate and fairly low ceiling height further compromised by a raised floor could have created a traditional ‘pancake’ floor, but by routing mechanical through the eight foot pod ceilings, the workstations ceilings expand up to nearly ten feet offering spatial variety throughout the floor.

其结果是，一家公司现在拥有与其动态工作流程相匹配的空间，并在金融市场上拥有独特的利基地位。

The result is a company that now has a space that matches their dynamic work flow and unique niche in the financial market.
