来自建筑事务所的描述：Capitec银行是非洲最大也最先进的银行，其总部iKhaya大楼设计方案已经公布，这就如同是该银行在南非科萨语的家。这座建筑由dhk建筑事务所设计，其三层的曲线空间来源于动态化的室内特征，项目表达了银行的发展前景，并且结合了先进的工作理念。Dhk建筑事务所的设计方案与众不同，结合内外空间共同考量，优化了银行的内部流线和可持续特征，不仅仅让办公空间的效率得以提升，同时也具有创新和成本效益。

Text description provided by the architects. Capitec Bank, one of the largest and most progressive banks in Africa, has unveiled its innovative new headquarters, iKhaya, meaning ‘home’ in Xhosa. Designed by multidisciplinary studio, dhk Architects, the three-storey curvilinear building is defined by its dynamic interior architecture, which embodies the company’s progressive outlook and embraces the concept of agile working. Striking and otherworldly, dhk’s holistic architectural approach considers both the exterior and interior to optimize corporate expenditure, internal flow and sustainability - demonstrating that commercial offices can be innovative and cost-effective while driving operational efficiencies.







建筑的形式优化了场地的形态和尺度，并且参考了银行品牌的弧线标志。三层建筑的上部空间环绕自身，构成了三层通高的中庭和内部核心。建筑有着现代化的立面形态，白色的面板覆盖着建筑的蜿蜒形式，连续的带状窗户得以更进一步的展现。

The building form optimizes the shape and size of the site while referencing the brand’s distinctive curved logo. The three-storey superstructure wraps around itself, which forms a central triple-volume atrium and an internal ‘social spine’ at the heart of the building. Contributing to the contemporary appearance, white aluminium panels clad the building’s sinuous form which is further accentuated with continuous ribbons of fenestration.





在建筑内部，设计方案展现了银行的发展观念，让顾客和员工都能够感受到品牌精神。在接待处，人们可以看到三层通高的空间，直截了当地展示了建筑的精致与简约。开敞的地面环绕着中庭，内部通过一系列廊道和楼梯连接在一起。设计方案目的性明确，让各个部门能够相互连接起来，给人们的合作构成契机。

Internally, the design resonates with the company’s progressive outlook - ensuring guests and staff unequivocally feel the spirit of the brand throughout the building. Once at reception, visitors are greeted by a generous triple-volume space that immediately showcases the sophistication and simplicity of the interior architecture. Wide open-plan floorplates loop around the periphery of the atrium which are connected by a series of dramatic bridges and staircases. This was an intentional design element which inter-connects the various departments, creating opportunities for chance collaborative encounters and personal interactions.







Dhk建筑事务所设计的全新总部构成了具有创造性、创新性，以及合作性的公司文化，重点优化了内部流线和各个部门之间的连接，建筑的一层和二层包含了开放办公空间，这个区域没有封闭的隔间，建筑空间整体融合了高效的工作理念，通向各个基础设施的楼板能够适应未来的更新与改造。不同的楼层都有着4个核心部分，其中包含厨房、会议室、休息区、储藏区、浴室，以及消防通道，周围则环绕着其他各个部门。

The new headquarters by dhk fosters a company culture of creativity, innovation and collaboration with a large emphasis placed on optimizing internal flow and departmental interaction. The first and second floors, containing the office’s open-plan work areas, are largely void of hierarchical structure and closed-off cubicles. Embracing the concept of agile working, a raised access floor throughout the building facilitates maintenance and future upgrades to services. On each level, a total of four ‘cores’, containing centralized amenities such as kitchenettes, meeting rooms, breakout areas, lockers, bathrooms and fire escapes, serve to augment the floorplates into departmental zones.



建筑的“社会核心”部分有着各式各样的分隔区域，比如有位于地面层的接待区，也有会议室和合作区，另外还有连接桥体上的休息区和内部景观院落，这些空间让员工们能够在办公之余休息放松，享受个人时光，亦或是举行私人会议和小组讨论，从而激发创造力和创新精神。这些突破性的设计大大提升了使用者的满意度，同时也提升了他们的工作效率。

Throughout the building’s ‘social spine’ there are a variety of breakaway areas; from a large ground-floor lounge at reception for guests to await meetings and co-workers to engage, to pause areas on bridges, and an internal landscaped courtyard for staff to rest. These spaces fuel creativity and innovation by allowing employees to slip away from their resident desks to enjoy a moment of solitude, conduct a private meeting or brainstorm ideas in small groups. Not only do these breakout areas increase job satisfaction, but they boost staff productivity and efficiency.







Capitec银行提倡建筑的可持续发展和员工的福祉，为了增强员工们的健康体魄，建筑里只有两部电梯，这里的员工却有2000人，这样的设计是为了补充楼梯的枢纽功能，并且鼓励员工们步行上下楼。因此，消防楼梯具有多重功能，在防火措施得当的前提下，这也具有日常使用的功能。

Capitec championed environmental sustainability and employee well-being throughout the building. To promote employee well-being, the building is purposefully limited to only two passenger lifts for its workforce of approximately 2,000. This is supplemented by a variety of generous feature stairs to encourage walking and limit the use of confined lift spaces. As such, the fire escape stairs were designed for dual functionality; where the quality of finishes were upgraded, they serve as ‘communication’ stairs.
