无明确提及丨加拿大蒙特利尔丨Sid Lee Architecture

在蒙特利尔市中心的黄金广场一英里（Golden Square Mile）片区，Cain Lamarre 近期选择入驻一座历史建筑，再次确认事务所希望扎根于“以人为尺度”的空间语境之中，并为团队提供一个与其价值观相契合的工作环境。项目由 Sid Lee Architecture 设计，将办公空间构想为一处充满活力的“城市广场”，从酒店业汲取灵感，营造出温暖、友好的氛围，摆脱传统办公空间中常见的庄重与严肃。空间布局在满足法律行业专业需求的同时，鼓励协作与交流。多样化的空间类型、私密性与社交性的平衡、真实而富有质感的材料选择，以及充足的自然采光，共同营造出流畅而直观的空间体验。正是这种兼顾专业需求与集体生活的设计方法，使项目荣获 Grands Prix du design 金奖认证。自项目伊始，空间规划便以未来发展、使用灵活性与知识共享为核心考量，并通过汇集事务所内不同专业背景成员的代表委员会的积极参与，进一步得以强化。

In the Golden Square Mile in downtown Montreal, Cain Lamarre has recently chosen to move into a heritage building, reaffirming the firm’s desire to stay rooted at a human scale, and to offer its team a work environment aligned with its values. Designed with Sid Lee Architecture as a vibrant urban square, the space draws inspiration from the hospitality industry to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, far from the solemn mood of more traditional offices. Its layout supports the demands of legal practice while encouraging collaboration. A diversity of spaces, a balance between confidentiality and conviviality, authentic materials, and abundant natural light come together to create a fluid, intuitive experience. This approach, attentive to both professional needs and collective life, earned the project a Gold certification at the Grands Prix du design. From the outset, space planning was guided by considerations of future growth, flexibility of use, and knowledge sharing, strengthened by the active participation of a representative committee bringing together various professional profiles within the firm.

前台与咖啡区：空间体验的第一站

Reception and café: the first stop

踏入室内，前台与咖啡角以一种平静而克制的氛围，与城市的活跃能量形成鲜明对比。悬挂的镂空毡制模块呼应建筑原有的结构特征，并整合柔和的间接照明；刷白的裸露混凝土则唤起场地的历史属性。毗邻楼梯的通高空间，咖啡区向城市景观敞开视野，迅速成为交流与互动的活跃节点。围绕“岛式”沙发组织的休息区，在保持私密感的同时，确保了空间流线的顺畅。这个温暖而精致的入口空间，正是“城市广场”精神的体现——向集体生活敞开，并与 Cain Lamarre 所倡导的正直、诚实与信任等核心价值保持一致。

From the moment one steps inside, the reception area and café corner create a calm contrast with the energy of the city. A suspended openwork felt module echoes the building’s original structure and integrates soft, indirect lighting, while the exposed concrete painted white recalls the site’s heritage character. Adjacent to the staircase’s double-height space, the café area opens onto a clear view of the city and quickly becomes a lively place for conversation. The lounge, organized around an island-like sofa, preserves both intimacy and fluid circulation. With its welcoming, refined feel, this arrival point reflects the spirit of the urban square: open to collective life and aligned with the values of integrity, honesty, and trust that define Cain Lamarre.

纪念性楼梯：空间的神经中枢

The monumental staircase: the nerve center

作为项目极具标识性的设计元素，纪念性楼梯组织起上下两层之间的交通动线。金属构件温润柔和的米白色调，为空间注入精致的当代气质，并与魁北克枫木踏步形成细腻对比；通高空间则将自然光引导至整个办公环境。被放大的楼梯平台通向一处室内花园，为行进过程提供短暂停留与交流的契机。穿孔栏杆与悬挂的竖纹玻璃灯具，为上行路径增添节奏与动感，伴随日常的空间流动。作为项目的核心节点，楼梯不仅锚定整体空间结构，也体现了办公环境中的集体属性。

A true signature element, the monumental staircase structures circulation between the two floors. The warm, soft ecru hue of the metal adds a refined contemporary touch that complements the steps made of Quebec maple, while the double-height space channels natural light throughout. An expanded landing opens onto an interior garden, offering a moment of pause and exchange along the way. The perforated guardrail and suspended fluted-glass lighting bring movement and rhythm to the ascent, accompanying the day-to-day flow. As the project’s pivotal point, the staircase anchors the space and embodies the office’s collective dimension.

员工餐厅：被包裹的停歇时刻

The cafeteria: an enveloping pause

员工餐厅略微退让于主要动线之外，营造出一种沉浸式的空间氛围。橱柜、天花与灯具统一采用干苋菜色调，使空间呈现出强烈的包裹感；带有细腻肌理的瓷质背板则呼应建筑的装饰艺术（Art Deco）影响，提升整体的精致度。空间中央设置了一张站立高度的公共长桌，周围配置高桌、双人小桌及休闲座椅等灵活家具组合，既适应日常用餐，也可承载特殊时刻的聚集活动。餐厅可向楼梯脚下的“广场”空间敞开，在任何时段促进交流，并自然支持集体活动的展开。

Slightly set back from the main circulation, the cafeteria offers an immersive atmosphere marked by a dried-amaranth tone applied to the cabinets, ceilings, and light fixtures. The subtly textured porcelain backsplash echoes the building’s Art Deco influences and contributes to a polished environment. A large standing-height communal table centers the room, surrounded by flexible furnishings including high tables, bistro tables, and lounge seating. This composition adapts easily to everyday meals, as well as special moments. The cafeteria can open onto the agora at the foot of the staircase, encouraging connection at any time of day and effortlessly supporting collective events.

广场边界：活跃的流线组织

Edges of the square: active circulation

在空间外围，封闭式办公室与通高会议室逐步过渡至更加安静、私密的工作区域；而在中央，圆角体量的“岛屿”元素延续楼梯的米白色调，并在降低的天花之下延展为定制化的建筑隔断，营造出柔和而连续的空间感受。体量与高度的变化丰富了空间视角，激发流动性，并塑造出明亮而开放的整体氛围。玻璃门上修长的装饰性拉手，为行进路径增添精致细节，也以细腻方式呼应建筑的装饰艺术遗产。

Around the periphery, enclosed offices and full-height meeting rooms create a transition toward quieter, more private zones. At the center, rounded-corner islands pick up the staircase’s ecru color. Beneath a lowered ceiling, they extend into custom architectural partitions that create a soft sense of continuity. The interplay of volumes and varying heights energizes perspectives, fosters movement, and shapes a bright, open atmosphere. Elongated decorative handles on the glazed doors bring a refined detail along the way, subtly echoing the building’s Art Deco heritage.
