Head Interiors l 南非Dimension Data办公室-设计风向

Head Interiors为位于南非约翰内斯堡的信息技术公司Dimension Data设计了办公室。Dimension Data公司是一家诞生于非洲的系统集成商和托管服务提供商，致力于设计，管理和优化当今不断发展的技术环境，以使其客户能够在数字时代利用数据。当现有的会议套件需要升级时，创建Dimension Data公司可以与其他公司高管交互的空间的机会就出现了。旧的建筑空间仅提供正式的会议室设置，很少有供访客使用的非正式区域。为此，翻新了约550平方米的双层办公区。

Head Interiors has created the office design for information technology company, Dimension Data, located in Johannesburg, South Africa.Dimension Data is an African born systems integrator and managed services provider that designs, manages, and optimizes today’s evolving technology environments to enable its clients to leverage data in a digital age. The opportunity to create a space where Dimension Data could interact with executives from other companies presented itself when an existing meeting suite was due for an upgrade. The old space only provided formal meeting room settings, with very little informal areas for visitors.Around 550m² of double volume office area was completely refurbished for this purpose.

Head Interiors设计的出发点是创建一个保持执行标准的空间，同时为多媒体演示提供多种非正式互动的机会。多媒体演示展示了该公司必须讲述的许多成功故事。为了使居民能够使用Dimension数据，创建了多个轻松的设置-所有这些设置都具有访问权限和机会进行数字演示。

Head Interiors set out to create a space that maintains an executive standard, while providing multiple opportunities for informal interaction – all around multimedia presentations. The multimedia presentations showcase the many success stories the company has to tell. To enable the residents from Dimension data, multiple relaxed settings were created – all of them with access and opportunity for digital presentation.

设计的核心是一张带有相邻咖啡吧台的超大餐桌。通过热情好客，客人和员工都可以探索联系和互动的新途径。酒吧隐藏在一扇滑动门后面，这与装饰墙面无缝融合，可以根据需要随时进入。为了让客人有机会接听和拨打私人电话，两个小的私人隔间被安置在中央用餐区的两端。用餐区还延伸到露台上，可欣赏西北地平线的全景以及夏季标志性的约翰内斯堡日落。

At the heart of the design is an over sized dining table with an adjacent coffee bar. Through hospitality, new avenues of connection and interaction can be explored by guests and staff alike. A drinks bar is concealed behind a sliding door that seamlessly blends into the decorative wall cladding – to be accessed as and when needed. In order to give guests the opportunity to take and make private phone calls, two small private booths have been positioned on either end of the central dining area. The dining area also spills out onto a patio, with a panoramic view of the north western horizon and the iconic Johannesburg sunsets of summer.

该设施还提供两个正式和两个非正式会议室。正式会议室分别可容纳24人和8人。第一个非正式会议室设置为L形，前面配有低矮的长椅座位和收纳筐。另一些参与者可以坐在柜台前，绕过L形长凳的背面。这是一个让一小群人合作的亲密环境。第二个非正式会议设施设置在一个移动展厅中，以容纳更多的观众。所有的露天坐垫都是可堆叠的，可以移到一边，为其他活动腾出空间。

The facility further provides two formal and two informal meeting rooms. The formal meeting rooms seat 24 and 8 people respectively. The first informal meeting room is set up in a L-shape configuration with low bench seating and bean bags in front. Another tier of participants can be seated at a counter wrapping around the back of the L-shape bench. It is an intimate setting for small groups of people to collaborate.The second informal meeting facility is set up in a mobile pavilion configuration to accommodate a larger audience. All bleachers are stack-able and can be moved to the side to free up space for other activities.
