Uber圣弗兰斯西科总部
Inside Uber San Francisco Headquarters

随着预约租车软件的普遍，Uber这个名字我们耳熟能详，小编今天给大家分享一下Uber华丽的三藩办公室，这是一个90000平方英尺的空间，拥用不同的房间和材料，完全符合他们的商业经营模式。

We’ve been sharing about the Uber Branding and Visual Identity system and also their new Logotype on Abduzeedo. We would like to share an inside look at their gorgeous San Francisco office. Established in a 90,000 sq ft space, the Uber team is reflecting its brand by having their different rooms and areas built with materials that will coincide with their business models.

例如，Uber的经典黑色代表的黑色玻璃电梯大厅，这是一个广阔的空间，由许多舒适的公共区域组成。正如我们所知，Uber是个众所周知的创新品牌，我们并不惊讶于其办公室体现的高度舒适性。这个办公室的设计由O+A建筑事务所承接。

For example the Uber Black (the luxury car option) is represented by the black glass of that elevator lobby. It is also a vast space made up of many zones of comfort with communal areas and small enclaves for solo concentration. As we are know that Uber is known for being innovative, we are not surprised that the office will embody its quality as well. This office has been designed by O+A, a design studio based in San Francisco and New York City.

像Uber的贴心服务一样，新的办公室意味着更加美好的未来。“Uber品牌存在着神秘感，”他们的负责人说。“在外界看来，这是一个神秘的品牌，而从内部来说，他们是完全透明的”，员工们来到三藩的Uber新办公室都能切身体会到这一特点。

Like Uber’s service, the new office isn’t meant to be futuristic—just better. “There’s a mystique to Uber’s brand,” Cherry says. “It’s a sexy brand—kind of mysterious. That’s from the outside. From the inside they’re totally transparent.” Arrivals at the new office in San Francisco will experience that shift in perception physically.

电梯大堂采用的玛瑙玻璃（同有色玻璃的轿车）将人们的视线引导向白色的接待空间。O+A事务所设计的内部空间总是能够呼应客户的需求，并且通过设计为公司运营与管理上提供极大的便利。这个项目反映了Uber公司的两个不同的服务分支，Uber的传统黑色代表的是黑色玻璃电梯大厅和独立会议室，内部的墙面则是在皮革墙板上用激光蚀刻Uber的运营城市地图。会议室配备了壁挂式触摸屏，可以让员工安排各项工作计划。

The elevator lobby framed in onyx glass (like the tinted glass of a limousine) opens up into a white reception space with broad sightlines. O+A’s spaces always echo the philosophy of the client, but what sets an O+A design apart is the way it drills down into the minutiae of a company’s operation. The finish choices on this project reflect both branches of Uber’s two-tiered service. Uber Black, the luxury car option, is represented by the black glass of that elevator lobby and by stand-alone meeting structures clad in copper and oxidized maple. Inside are leather wall panels laser-etched with the maps of cities in which Uber operates. Uber X, the economy car alternative, finds expression in raw concrete floors, raw steel and the Polygal walls of an impromptu meeting space. Meeting rooms positioned throughout the vast footprint are equipped with wall-mounted touch-screen booking tablets next to the door so users can see at a glance what is scheduled for that space and reserve it hour by hour.
