为健康服务的共同创造 Co-creation at the service of wellness

为了避免后疫情时代经常出现的过度简化或过度保守的设计方式，该空间是设计团队共同创造模式下完成的精心设计。该项目旨在发掘空间使用者的真正需求。因此，设计团队对专业人员和公司员工在疫情前后的需求进行了细致分析，并与所有利益相关者举行了合作会议，以重新构想真正被需要的个人和协作空间。最终，设计团队形成了以使用者为中心的创新工作空间模式，并在执行力、效率性和幸福感之间取得了和谐的平衡。

Avoiding the reductive trends or reactionary gestures that often populate the post-Covid discourse, the space has been carefully designed through a process of co-creation aimed at unearthing the true needs of its users. A meticulous analysis of the pre- and post-pandemic needs of professionals and employees was carried out in conjunction with collaborative work sessions with all stakeholders to reimagine required individual and collaborative spaces. The result is an innovative user-centric workspace model that strikes a harmonious balance between performance, efficiency, and well-being.

可渗透的小宇宙

Permeable microcosm

为了激发员工的工作热情，促进员工重新回到办公室进行线下工作，项目设计了新的工作空间，以增强员工的自豪感和归属感。与密集却碎片化的传统办公室相比，新工作空间的设计灵感来自酒店业，旨在为员工提供均衡的舒适空间。本项目的设计策略体现了联合地产公司的价值观：建设一个充满社区感、创造力和幸福感的可持续宜居城市。

To create excitement and promote a return to in-person work, the company’s new workspaces have been designed to instill a sense of pride and belonging. In contrast to traditional, dense, and fragmented offices, these spaces are inspired by the hospitality industry and propose a well-balanced variety that offers employees optimal comfort. The workspaces embody the company’s values of building sustainable and livable cities imbued with a sense of community, creativity, and well-being.

作为一个真正的交流与连接的枢纽，联合地产公司新办公室的入口处向当地社区敞开了大门。在这里为所有联合地产承租者提供了一个新的可租用空间。这一系列可灵活重新组合的会议室可用于举办大型活动（如市政厅活动）、中型培训会议或小型且更传统的董事会议。为了让这个空间尽可能地吸引人，传统的接待台被一个大堂空间所取代。大堂里布置了温馨的座椅，而座椅两侧摆放着由当地烘焙商提供的大师级咖啡。

A true hub of connectivity, the entrance of the new Allied Properties office opens itself up to the Montreal community and offers a space that can be rented by all Allied tenants. This series of reconfigurable meeting rooms can be arranged for large events such as town halls, medium size training sessions, or more quaint board meetings. To make this space as inviting as possible, the traditional reception desk has been replaced by a lobby space where welcoming seating arrangements are flanked by barista-grade coffee stocked by local roasters.

艺术的融合

Art integration

在全新的办公空间内，为了方便寻找和创造更广泛的工作氛围，设计团队为每个会议室都设计了一个独特的主题，其灵感来自联合地产公司在蒙特利尔拥有的众多地产，并配有各种独特的家具布置。这些定制的家具有的已经制作完成，如一张会议桌的形状就是新近翻新的 Robert-Bourassa 1001 号房产的形状，有的则巧妙地融入了现有的工艺品，如一扇来自之前 Nordelec 工厂的恢弘金属大门。蒙特利尔本地画家 Dan Climan 以其具象风格而闻名，他受委托创作了一些描绘联合地产公司旗下建筑的艺术作品，这些作品在新公共空间中随处可见。

Within the offices, in order to facilitate way-finding and create a broader range of working environments, each meeting room is designed with a unique theme inspired by Allied’s Montreal properties, in conjunction with a variety of seating arrangements. Bespoke furniture was either created – such as a conference table in the shape of the newly refurbished 1001 Robert-Bourassa property – or existing artifacts were skillfully integrated, namely, an imposing metal door from the former Nordelec factory. Montreal painter Dan Climan, renowned for his figurative style, was also commissioned to create works of art depicting some of the portfolio’s buildings, which are on display throughout the common spaces.

Sid Lee Architecture 的建筑师兼首席合伙人 Martin Leblanc 说：“受联合地产公司的价值观和蒙特利尔当地建筑遗产的启发，我们创造了一个体现强烈归属感和自豪感的空间。从重新利用的手工艺品到当地化的艺术品，这里的每一个细节都经过精心整合，以体现联合地产及其社区的独特特征。”

“Inspired by the values of Allied Properties and Montreal’s architectural heritage, we have created a space that embodies a strong sense of belonging and pride,” says Martin Leblanc, Architect and Principal Partner at Sid Lee Architecture. “Every detail, from the repurposed artifacts to the local artwork, has been carefully integrated to reflect the unique identity of the client and its community.”

持久的多元化 Durable plurality 不同大小的会议室是举办非正式交流和更有组织的正式会议的理想场所。其设计旨在便于所有人使用，这里的声学效果经过精心考量，并无缝集成了多种技术支持。公共区域则围绕这些空间设计，以鼓励更多偶然的相遇和交流机会。其中一些空间是相当灵活的，可以适应办公室不断变化的需求，以确保本项目的持久生命力。

The conference and meeting rooms, ideal for informal exchanges and more structured meetings, have been designed to be easily accessible by all, with carefully considered acoustics and seamlessly integrated technological supports.

The common areas have been designed around these spaces to encourage opportunities for more fortuitous encounters and exchanges. Some of these spaces are flexible to allow them to adapt to the evolving needs of the office and ensure the project’s longevity.

量身定制的设计 Bespoke design 设计团队提出的策略是为联合地产公司量身定制的，包括将工作站均匀地分布在整个空间内，目的是在不影响个人舒适度的前提下优化协作。这些新的工作站介于隔间和开放的办公桌之间，由于采用了半隔板并集成了毛毡覆盖层，实现了最佳的隔音效果，这提高了工作站的私密性。通过为所有员工提供高度可调的工作台面，解决了人体工程学方面的问题。同时，为了促进协作，这些工作台面可以整体升高到统一的高度来形成一个大型的联合工作岛台。此外，每个工作站都配有创新的“工作吧”和储藏室空间，为非正式会议和小组内的工作会议提供了空间。秉承联合地产公司的价值观，定制化的家具设计将美学、多功能性与可持续发展相结合，并采用了环境友好的桦木材料。

Evenly distributed throughout the space, the workstations were custom-designed for the client in order to optimize collaboration without sacrificing personal comfort. Halfway between a cubicle and a hot-desk, these new workstations offer a greater degree of privacy thanks to their half partitions and the integration of felt coverings for optimum acoustics and sound isolation. Ergonomic concerns are addressed by including height-adjustable work surfaces to all employees. To promote collaboration, these work surfaces can be collectively raised to their bar height setting to create a large, joint work island. In addition, each workstation is coupled with an innovative work bar and storage that provides spaces for informal meetings and work sessions with colleagues. True to Allied Properties’ values, the bespoke furniture combines aesthetics and versatility with sustainability through responsibly sourced birch wood.

亲近自然的原则 Biophilic principles 在亲近自然的原则指导下，整个空间提供了与自然的联系，无论是视觉上的还是模拟上的。钢材和混凝土等一系列经典而原始的材料，与木制品、室内装潢和陶器形成了质感和温暖的对比。自助餐厅空间被巧妙地安排在朝西的窗户前，以最大限度地利用自然光，并将 Jean-Paul-Riopelle 广场的美景尽收眼底。联合地产公司的绿色标志色调被巧妙地融入到家具和窗帘的细节中，从而突出了空间的欢快氛围。在这里，植物无处不在，并与各个尺度融为一体，以平衡幸福感、舒适度和工作效率。开放式布局给人一种通畅的衔接感，通过定制的悬挂式花盆，办公空间可以被分割为更为私密的小空间，房内墙壁凹进所形成的空间还提供了庇护空间。

Guided by the principles of biophilic design, the overall space offers a connection to nature, whether visual or analog. A range of noble and raw materials, such as steel and concrete, contrast in texture and warmth with woodwork, upholstery, and terracotta objects. The cafeteria was strategically positioned in front of the west-facing windows to maximize natural light and provide a view of the treetops of Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle. Allied Properties’ green signature hue was subtly integrated into the details of the furniture and curtains, in turn accentuating the convivial character of the space. Vegetation is omnipresent and integrated at all scales to balance well-being, comfort, and productivity. The vistas offered by the open-plan layout bring a sense of connectivity, while custom-designed hanging planters break up the floor plate into more intimate spaces. Lastly, alcoves provide opportunities for refuge.
