西班牙Zooco Estudio设计事务所设计了这座位于Santa Monica的托幼合作空间，其中设置有儿童游乐区，员工们在工作的时候可以让孩子们在这里玩耍。

该项目的开发公司名为“Big and Tiny”，是美国第一个内置托幼功能的合作场所。该公司由一位女性企业家创办，她是一位母亲，希望能够帮助父母将职业生活和个人生活融合在一起。

A kids' play area is included in this co-working space in Santa Monica designed by Spanish firm Zooco Estudio, so its members can bring their children to work.
Big and Tiny is among the first co-working facilities in the US to offer onsite childcare. The company was founded by an entrepreneur who is a mother with the aim to empower parents by helping them integrate their personal and professional lives.



项目位于加州沿海地区，面积为2100平方英尺（约195平方米），设计师充分考虑了成人与儿童的多重需求，目的是创造“生产力、创新性、社区型”场所。

它以高高的天花板和一系列的木质拱形构架为特色，ZoocoEstudio的设计师们将这种构架用作组织装置。空间中设置有三个独立的区域，即咖啡厅兼商店、儿童娱乐区和工作区。

The facility occupies a 2,100-square-foot (195-square-metre) storefront space in the coastal Californian city. Designed with both adults and kids in mind, it is intended to foster "productivity, creativity and community".
It features a high ceiling with a series of wood-bow trusses, which Zooco Estudio used as an organisational device. Three separate areas were established – a cafe-cum-shop, a kids' play area and a work zone.



构架还能够用作胶合板隔断和装饰性构件。

设计师描述说：“我们使用原有的构架天花板来作为方案的通用几何语言，并且构成了重复的模块化和建设性系统，这会让我们想起曾经存在的挑战。”

“适应性体系在三个不同的区域都有着相应的层高。”

The trusses also informed the design of plywood partitions and certain pieces of decor.
"Using the original truss ceiling as an example of a universal geometric language, we created a repetitive modular and constructive system that reminds us of a puzzle," said Zooco Estudio in a project description.
"This adaptable system creates appealing elevations in all the three areas."



前侧区域包含有咖啡馆和儿童主题商店，人们可以环绕圆桌而坐。

三角形或半圆形铁架悬挂在墙体之上。前侧区域同样也覆盖着瓷砖，构成了展示区域和橱架。

The front zone contains a coffee bar and a boutique with kid-themed merchandise. Visitors can sit at round wooden tables and pastel-hued chairs.
Hanging on the walls are triangular and semi-circular iron racks. The front area also features tile-clad blocks that are used to form shelving and a display counter.



项目团队认为：“模块化可移动立方体由10×10的粉色与蓝色陶瓷砖制作而成，这种颜色是这个品牌的代表。”

“这使得空间能够满足不同的使用需求。”

儿童区域位于咖啡馆和商店的后侧，该区域名为“Tinyland”，目的是让孩子们“能够有目的地选择可持续的玩具，从而激发儿童的想象力的游戏”。

活动场地由木结构制作而成，其中包括球坑、滑梯、小舞台。其中还设置有工作空间，孩子们可以在这里学习以及完成艺术项目。混凝土地板上铺设有生态泡沫材质。

"The modular and movable cubes are made out of 10-by-10 ceramic tiles in pink and blue, which is the brand's colour palette," the team said.
"This offers the flexibility to configure the space according to different needs."
Situated behind the cafe and shop is the children's area, called Tinyland, which aims to offer "purposefully selected sustainable toys to stimulate imaginative play".
A playground consists of wooden structures such as a ball pit, a slide and a small stage. The room also has a studio space where kids can work on art projects and take classes. Concrete flooring is covered with an eco-foam material.



后侧区域包含有成人合作空间。其中有来自Normann Copenhagen的斯堪的纳维亚风格办公家具系统，以及隔音公用电话亭。

Big and Tiny公司的会员资格（包括儿童保育）起价为305美元（241英镑）/每月，两个小时的使用费用是49美元（39英镑）。

The rear zone houses the co-working area for adults. The room has Scandinavian-style office furniture from Normann Copenhagen, along with a soundproof phone booth from Room.
Membership to Big and Tiny, which includes childcare, starts at $305 (￡241) per month. The charge for a two-hour drop-in is $49 (￡39).



Zooco Estudio事务所在马德里和桑坦德都设有办事处，它由建筑师Miguel Crespo Picot、Javier Guzmán Benito、Sixto Martín Martínez共同创立。该事务所的其他项目还包括由花岗岩建造而成的建筑综合体，在Verín市形成艺术中心。

Zooco Estudio – which has offices in Spanish cities Madrid and Santander – was founded by architects Miguel Crespo Picot, Javier Guzmán Benito and Sixto Martín Martínez. Other projects by the studio include a complex of granite-clad buildings that form an art centre in the city of Verín.



随着现代人群的工作方式愈发自由，因此近年来合作空间的数量也愈发增加。

因此行业的竞争也愈发激烈，许多公司都能够为客户进行私人订制。其中包括有女性专用工作空间，也有面向知名人士的会员俱乐部。

Co-working spaces have been on the rise in recent years as working lifestyles become increasingly digital and nomadic.
As the industry becomes more competitive, many are offering tailored experiences. Examples include a women-only workspace and a members' club geared towards celebrities and famous professionals.
