amika新总部办公丨美国纽约丨CIVILIAN

CIVILIAN为amika新总部打造的设计重新定义了办公空间，重点强调协作与员工福祉。这座面积达19,000平方英尺的创新办公场所位于充满活力的威廉斯堡25 Kent大楼内，不仅支持混合办公模式，还促进团队成员之间的连接，同时也扩展了空间用途，可用于举办活动和员工培训。CIVILIAN所面临的主要挑战是如何将品牌精神转化为空间语言，从而强化其使命驱动的叙事逻辑。设计巧妙运用了amika大胆的品牌色彩，并通过明亮色调与温暖中性色调的平衡搭配，既提升了工作效率，也鼓励员工在远程办公时代后重新回归线下办公环境。

CIVILIAN’s design for the new headquarters of amika reimagines the workplace by emphasizing collaboration and employee wellbeing. This innovative 19,000-square-foot space, located in the vibrant 25 Kent development in Williamsburg, accommodates hybrid work styles while fostering connections among team members, as well as expands the use of the space beyond conventional office programming to host events and staff training.CIVILIAN met the primary challenge of translating the brand’s ethos into spatial designs that enhance its missive-driven narrative. By incorporating amika’s bold brand palette through thoughtful design choices that balance the bright colors with warm, neutral tones, the space enhances productivity and encourages people to re-engage with a physical office environment after the era of remote work.

该设计还充分利用了HWKN建筑原有的大柱距结构，划分出不同功能区域，包括接待区、会议室、小型讨论室及鼓励协作的开放式办公区。外露的柱子包裹着温暖的米色瓷砖，营造出友好的氛围；与此同时，巧妙布置的声学材料则有效减少噪音，提高办公效率。

The design utilizes the HWKN-designed building’s large column bays to create diverse spaces, including reception areas, conference rooms, huddle rooms, and open-plan offices that encourage teamwork. Warm beige tiles wrap the exposed columns, providing a welcoming atmosphere, while strategically placed acoustic treatments minimize noise and increase efficiency.

支持混合办公的开放式设计

The new headquarters features a flexible open-plan design, where custom furniture and inviting amenities like an espresso bar and lounges create spaces for different working styles. There are no assigned desks. Instead, employees work at 25-foot-long communal tables that seat 20 on either side, creating a dynamic environment that encourages cross-collaboration between teams. Flanking these fully powered tables with linear lighting are ten upholstered nooks and private phone booths designed to limit sight lines for focused, individual work.

amika首席执行官Chelsea Riggs表示：“新总部不仅仅是一个物理办公场所，它体现了我们打造一个以协作与创造力为核心文化的承诺。这是一个‘反传统办公’空间，工作与灵感之间的界限在这里变得流动，每个人都能感受到欢迎。”

“The new amika headquarters is more than just a physical office space—it’s a reflection of our commitment to creating a culture where collaboration and creativity can thrive,” says Chelsea Riggs, CEO of amika. “It’s intentionally designed to be the anti-office, a place where the boundaries between work and inspiration are fluid and everyone feels welcome.”

高管办公室则被设计为共享的小型讨论空间，配备柔软座椅和不同尺寸的交流区域，实现空间的“去中心化”，同时也保留必要的私密性。靠窗的休闲区视野开阔，可远眺东河与曼哈顿天际线，成为员工日常社交的理想场所，也有助于吸引与留住优秀人才。

The executive offices function as shared huddle rooms with soft seating and breakout areas of varying sizes, democratizing access to all employees while allowing for privacy when needed. A window-side lounge with sweeping views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline makes it an informal place for employees to socially engage—all helping the company attract and retain top talent.

品牌色彩的空间转译

Spatial translation of the brand palette

“amika的主色调是亮粉、橙色与奶油色，搭配强烈的图形图案。我们在设计初期就与客户深入探讨，如何更好地将品牌精神在空间中展现，”CIVILIAN联合创始人Ksenia Kagner表示，“根据我们的经验，品牌色彩并不总是适合直接用于室内设计。比如，把一整面墙刷成品牌色，往往效果并不好。”

“amika’s main brand colors are hot pink, orange, and cream paired with a strong graphic pattern. When approaching the design, we engaged with the client very early on with how to best make the brand shine,” says Ksenia Kagner, co-founder of CIVILIAN. “We know from experience that brand colors don’t translate well into interiors. Making an accent wall painted in a brand’s color just doesn’t work.”

因此，这一项目采用了温暖的米色、灰色和石材色调作为空间基底，使鲜艳图形成为主角，同时通过精心布置的灯光，强化不同材质的质感表现。软性织物、石灰洗墙面和细腻喷涂表面等材料的使用，使室内空间转化为一个安静宜人的环境，鼓励探索与互动。家具设计上运用了柔和曲线，呼应自然形态，不仅增强空间流动性，也塑造出一种既现代又恒久的美学统一感。

Instead, the design embraces warm beiges, greys, and stone tones, allowing the space to serve as a backdrop for vibrant graphics while thoughtfully curated lighting enhances the textures throughout.By focusing on materials like soft textiles, limewash finishes, and delicately painted surfaces, the interiors transform into a serene environment that encourages exploration and interaction. Thoughtfully designed furniture features gentle curves that mimic organic forms, enhancing the fluidity of the space while promoting a cohesive aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless.

定制家具构建空间标识

Signature moments with custom furniture

标志性的空间设计与灵活布局显著提升了访客体验，特别是在接待商业伙伴或举办社交活动时。CIVILIAN在整个总部空间中设计了多个“定制场景”，既彰显品牌特质，又优化了空间效率与功能。接待区设有一张圆角定制的米黄洞石前台，营造出社区感十足的第一印象。柔和曲线的设计语言贯穿于各个区域：如讨论壁龛、共享座位区，以及配备20人定制会议桌的董事会议室，整体流畅自然，鼓励员工之间的互动。装饰照明与灯具强化了空间的亲和氛围，使工作环境兼具实用性与美感。这座新总部超越了传统办公的定义，营造出温馨而激励人心的空间，体现了amika品牌欢迎、包容的核心价值。

Signature spaces and flexible planning considerably improve the visitor experience for potential business partners or guests during social events. CIVILIAN crafted thoughtful design moments throughout the headquarters that reflect the company’s unique identity while optimizing space and performance. The reception area features a bespoke travertine desk with rounded edges, setting the tone for a space designed to foster a sense of community. This emphasis on soft, curved forms is echoed in breakout nooks, communal seating arrangements, and a boardroom equipped with a custom 20-person conference table, creating a seamless flow that encourages interaction among employees. The decorative lighting and fixtures enhance the inviting atmosphere, making the environment both functional and aesthetically pleasing.This new office design transcends traditional workspaces, offering a warm and motivating environment that reflects the brand’s welcoming ethos.

特别值得一提的是“母婴室”，它作为包容性设计的一部分，为新手妈妈提供了一个安静、私密的照护空间。这一细节体现了对员工个人与职业责任平衡的关注，也有助于在职场内部建立起一种支持与关怀的文化。

Key to this design is The Mother’s Room, which emphasizes inclusivity by providing a private area for new mothers to care for their children. This thoughtful approach ensures that employees can balance personal and professional responsibilities, fostering a culture of support within the workplace.
