Shanghai based practice
Taranta Creations has designed their own studio located in
Shanghai,
China.
The design is a reflection
of the ongoing creative process within the studio. The
intervention
seeks to provide an adaptable space that supports a range of
informal functions.
The office is situated in a
former metal factory. The excising diagonal steel structure was
causing
difficulties to fulfill the wish of the studio to create two
floors. The distance between the structure
and ceiling was too less for a traditional office layout of floor
and tables. Therefore a floor is
created just above the steel structure. Four working stations are
placed in the space between the
steel profiles. This way the floor is transformed to one continuous
desk, while the four recessed
stations provide a more traditional workspace. The large 'work
floor' invites the designers to use
the open space for thinking, sketching, meeting, drafting,
modeling, sitting and relaxing. This
informal interpretation of office space encourages
cross-pollination between the different
projects
and disciplines occurring within the studio.
On the lower floor the
individual workstations are placed along the window. A green
sculptural
table can be used for communal activities. Informal and contoured,
the central staircase is
reminiscent of a large droplet of water ready to fall from the
ceiling. Upon entering the stairway, a
highly saturated environment of bright red engulfs and surrounds
the individual, starkly marking
the transition between the contrasting office areas. The color is
repeated on the second floor as
an accent to highlight the recessed work areas.

这是Taranta Creations
工作室为自己设计的位于上海红坊创意园区的办公室。设计反映了
工作中的创意进程。并通过一系列的非正式功能为工作人员提供了一个适应性极强的空间。
工作室前身是一个五金厂房，厂房里呈对角线形状的钢结构使得办公室建立两个楼层比较困难，同时结构导致层高较低，因此在一个楼层正中建立一个极具雕塑感，宛如大水滴的醒目钢梯，而工作空间就围绕这个钢梯。二层地板转化为连续的办公桌，凹陷处为工作区域。巨大的“工作平台”是设计师们思考、讨论、绘图、建模、休闲放松的地方。各种非正式功能设定鼓励和加强不同学科和项目间的交流，从而活跃整个事务所的氛围。一楼的工作区域岩床布置，绿色的雕塑桌用于公共活动，水滴形楼梯“滴”在了这个空间中，内涂层是鲜亮的大红色，形成一层与二层之间的明确过度区域。
