Freipost为一家国际快递公司,于里士满后街(Richmond backstreet)购买了一间20世纪50年代的仓库。
Freipost is an international courier company, which purchased a non-descript 1950s warehouse on a Richmond backstreet.
该仓库被改建为他们的办公室/仓库。建筑师在中间插入两条弯曲的中间“街道”,由裸露的螺柱构成框架,根据办公室和会议室的需求,在各层和玻璃间填充木板。弯曲的造型打破了矩形空间的棱角,而其主要层次为装货箱形状,十分适合其业务性质。
The warehouse was converted into their office/warehouse by inserting a double curved central “street” of exposed stud framing with ply or glass infill panels as required for the offices and meeting rooms. Sweeping curves break the rigidity of the rectangular space, and the predominant ply suggests packing cases, appropriate for the nature of the business.
整个建筑中,Freipost的标示为其亮点,而其正面门面也设计成三维的该公司标志。
The signature Freipost red was used for highlights throughout, and the front facade was presented as a 3d company logo.
