Sterling Partners

Sterling Partners公司是一家私募股权公司，该公司决定将总部从北部郊区迁往芝加哥市中心，使他们“激励增长”的经营理念与工作环境相结合。新办公室位于市中心最著名的高楼第33层，能够360度欣赏芝加哥最迷人的面貌：湖泊、河流、卢普区和黄金海岸。Brininstool和Lynch与客户密切合作，设计了这个有助于在外观和运营上增强公司经营理念的场所。

Sterling Partners is a private equity firm who decided to couple their business philosophy of “inspired growth” to their work environment by relocating their headquarters from the northern suburbs to downtown Chicago. The new office, located on the 33rd floor of one of the city’s most prominent downtown high-rises, offers 360-degree views of Chicago's most desirable features: the lake, the river, the Loop and the Gold Coast. Brininstool + Lynch worked closely with the client to define a sense of place that would help reinforce the company’s business philosophy in both appearance and operations.





大楼的核心包含垂直交通、洗手间和租户设施，这些包围在橙色玻璃中，显得高大上，使人们从出电梯的一刻就注意到公司的存在。楼层的周边敞开，充分利用引人注目的景色。项目选择和配置了实用的商业客厅家具，创建不同的区域用于工作、非正式聚会、思考和休闲。

The core of the building, containing vertical circulation, restrooms and tenant services, is wrapped in an identity-reinforcing orange glass that marks the company's presence from the moment one steps off the elevator. The perimeter of the floor is left open to take full advantage of the dramatic views. Functional business lounge furniture was selected and configured to create distinct zones dedicated to working, informal gathering, thinking, and leisure.







定制的黑胡桃木桌沿两边排成行，并为员工和客人提供灵活的临时工作区。整个办公室都有连线，以便支持便携式设备和高科技影音站的使用。一间食品室为非正式会议和办公活动提供了空间。LCD面板内嵌在白色玻璃标记板墙上，经常展示办公信息和最新资料的摘要。软木砖地板给不锈钢公共设施区增添了温暖和和谐。

Custom, dark walnut desks line two sides of the perimeter and offer temporary and flexible work areas for employees and guests. The entire office is wired to support the use of portable technology and high-tech audio and visual stations. A pantry provides space for informal meetings and office events. LCD panels embedded in the white glass marker board walls scroll a constant program of office information and updates. Cork tile flooring adds warmth and balance to the functional stainless steel utility areas.



有的空间要求一定程度的隐私和声学控制，如私人办公室、会议室和电话房，它们被推到楼层内部，用覆盖织物的墙板、薄木片和透明玻璃来处理。

Spaces that require a certain degree of privacy and acoustical control, such as private offices, meeting rooms, and phone rooms, are pushed to the interior of the floor and are treated with fabric-wrapped wall panels, wood veneer, and transparent glass.
