设计师都在甲方和各种问题下工作，所以无法完全自由发挥。因此大多数设计师会选择自己的办公室来实现未完成的创意，把所有对美学的理解得以全部发挥，往往这个时候设计师容易脱离设计的本质，结果便会偏离目的，最后办公室变成了头脑风暴的样板间。所以面临设计师自我空间打造的时候，我们更应该守住空间设计的本来目的。2017年，我们在朝阳区发现了一个由几十年历史的老厂房进行改造中的创意产业园。在经过几次考量，以及汇总了公司所有小伙伴的意见后，我们决定拿下这个空间，做为CUN寸DESIGN的新办公室。

让我们重新审视这个空间的原貌： 1.拥有优秀的高度，建筑顶面修复后，可以使更多日光进到室内 2.保留了旧建筑的结构和外墙部分，旧纹理的保留带来了让人回忆老建筑的情绪 3.园区的整个商业业态，被规划成了24Hours无休创意产业园，其中既有商业业态，又有办公环境。

结合这个建筑的具体条件我们开始了这次设计 ，首先我们要把自己的设计师身份放下，把自己的身份定义成—甲方，而后工作再逐项展开…

Almost every designer once has complained there being no client who can give him/her the complete freedom to give full play to creativity. Therefore, many of us attempt to experiment on our own offices with our whole imagination of aesthetics. Nevertheless, it is often the case that designers tend to distract from the main road and be divorced from reality due to excessive intensity. Eventually, the space is likely to be deviated from the original purpose and turned into a showroom out of brainstorming. That is why we, as designers, need to stay sober and focus on the primitive practical use of the space when it comes to designing a work space for ourselves. In other words, we are supposed to put ourselves in clients’ feet and keep self-disciplined. In 2017, we found a creative industry park that was transformed from a decades-old factory. After rounds of discussions with all the teammates, we made up our minds to set up the new studio there.

The original space and the site boast the following features: 1.Excellent storey height. After roof restoration, more daylights are able to be in. 2.The structure and partial exterior wall of old buildings. The reservation of old textures brings back the fading memory of those old days. 3.An integrated business complex. The 24-hour creative industry park includes not only commercial operations, but also office area.

Based on these conditions, we set about carrying out the design. But the project was not officially launched before we “shaking off” the identity of designers and saw ourselves as clients.

第一步：寻找需要完成的任务 Step One – Identifying the objectives and functional requirements for the project

1.工作最大：首先确定这是一个办公的场域，最大的诉求就是让大家有一个特别优良的办公环境，这其中包括好的采光、温度控制、好的工作尺度和沟通效率，还包括为了适应公司组织架构而进行搭建的不同的空间区域，以满足未来5年内公司发展对空间诉求上的预期需要。

2.协同高效：除了员工诉求之外，还要考虑工作中和合作伙伴的协同工作诉求。这部分包括材料供方的材料挑选、物料整理、合作单位的阶段性工作梳理、中层和基层员工的工作沟通与协同作战等。

3. 客户到访的接待空间，是现时期一个重要诉求，我们在这个空间内尽量抽离一些设计公司的感觉，希望有一个相对松弛舒适、即不丧失商务性又不那么严肃的空间。

4.时间最大：在北京这座城市，时间是最宝贵的成本，无论是朋友间的聚会还是商务社交，都需要有效节约时间，因此设计和运营集于一身的社交娱乐空间，其本身就是在创造价值。

5.一点私心：对于自己，也保留了一点小私心。希望在属于自己的办公空间里有一个比较大的工作台来满足集成工作的一些诉求，同时也能让自己的精神比较集中。因此，尽量用小一点的面积、最短的动线来解决自己的所有工作和诉求，这样既能提高自我的工作效率，又能最有效的利用和分配好时间。

1.Work comes first: Since it’s a working place, the most basic demand is to guarantee a pleasant environment where the staff can grasp a comfortable working distance and, at the same time, high communication efficiency under appropriate illumination conditions and temperature control. As our company is stepping into a new development phase, the space is expected to have various sectors respectively for different departments, as well as to meet the needs of potential expansion in the near 5 years. 2.Efficient cooperation :Like many other designing companies, our daily work involves not only single-person tasks, but more frequently the teamwork, ranging from material selecting and sorting with suppliers, phased communications with partners, to the internal interactions among all levels of associates. 3.Clients reception: Considering the developmental stage of the company, it is of great importance to assign a certain area for client reception. We tried jumping out of the box of a typical design office’s outlook, making it relaxing but not void of business formality. 4.Be time-saving: For a person like me who is occupied with designing work and administration affairs, every minute matters so much. Therefore, I need this space to serve social function as well, so that I can have friends’ gatherings and business activities without spending time in traveling. In a fast-paced like Beijing, saving time is no different from creating value. 5.A personal request: I desire for a workbench which, on one hand, is big enough to integrate all of ordinary tasks, and on the other hand, is succinct enough to do my work with the shortest streamline. Only in this case am I able to make the most of time and improve work efficiency.
