该项目坐落于伦敦老街，是Sam Jacob Studio为Takram 东京总部打造的伦敦办公室。设计理念旨在创造一个灵活的空间，以适应其从产品数字设计到实体制作阶段中的各个工作模式。作为设计工作室改造项目，Sam Jacob Studio团队用一种原始而又精致的手法，清晰地展示出室内空间的每个组成部分。通过保留设计深化中决策与组合的痕迹，使项目本身成为设计思路与设计过程的体现。

Sam Jacob Studio have completed the design of new office space for Takram in London’s Old Street. As the London studio for the Tokyo-HQed design innovation studio the aim was to create a flexible space accommodating the breadth of their working modes from digital to physical making. As the home of a design studio, the approach was to create a raw yet refined atmosphere, a space where each of the components of the space is articulated. By making the decisions and assembly visible in the project’s finished state it retains a sensation of the design process and thinking.

项目探索了材料组合的多种可能性。工业水泥板与大理石板拼合，浇筑混凝土与大块木材拼合。这些具有不同质地，纹理，饰面以及特性的材料组合创造出一种特别的建筑语言。相对于单一的审美标准，该项目更像是一个设计师的材料库，通过意想不到的组合达到令人惊喜的效果。

The design developed a rich mix of materials. Industrial materials like cement board are set next to marble panels, cast concrete objects are used alongside chunks of timber. These are brought together to create a language of contrasting materials with different values, texture, finish and reference. Rather than resolving into a single aesthetic, the pallet feels more like a designers material library, where unexpected juxtapositions occur through cataloguing.

项目内各种框架与结构的组合，同样赋予了空间多样性的变化。带有粉末涂层的钢框架规划出厨房与工作室空间，并简洁地嵌入电器，饰面板，橱柜以及储物架。办公室的长会议桌也是由这种钢框架定制而成。大理石，胶合板，水泥板分别嵌入框架中形成桌面。

This variety is held together by frameworks and armatures that give the space its structure. Powder coated steel frames are used to create the skeleton of the kitchen / workshop space, with appliances, panelling, cupboards and storage simply slotted in. The same powder coated frames are used to create the specially designed furniture including a long central table for the office. Panels of marble, plywood and cement board are dropped into these simple frames to create table tops.
