當我們團結起來共渡后疫情時代的工作難關時，The Commons South Yarra共享辦公室的出現為人們創造出了一種全新的未來共享辦公模式。Foolscap事務所的設計為人們帶來了“在家中無法得到的體驗”，特別強調了辦公室中的協作空間和社交互動，同時也以其廣泛的便利性與公共性為社區文化做出了貢獻。

As we band together and continue to move towards a post-pandemic phase of working, The Commons South Yarra offers an updated vision for what co-working will look like – and feel like – going into the future. Foolscap’s design response is led by what “you can’t get at home”,with special emphasis on collaborative spaces and social interactions, and amenity that feeds a culture of community.

“在過去的一年里，我們看到了居家辦公與辦公室辦公共存的可能性。因此，在The Commons South Yarra項目中，我們將其設想為一個工作的‘第三空間’，這里不再只有擁擠的辦公桌，而是更多的社會參與，它將工作與家庭分開，為人們提供了更加專業的辦公設施。”Foolscap創始董事Adèle Winteridge說道。

“In the past year we’ve seen the typology of working-from-home emerge in parallel to the office place. For The Commons South Yarra we envisaged a “third space”for working, a place that is less about the hot desk and more about social engagement, separating work from home, and gaining access to specialist facilities,” says Foolscap’s Founding Director, Adèle Winteridge.

趣味性

Serious Fun

Foolscap的設計圍繞“趣味性”展開，“The Commons South Yarra是一個能夠讓人們自主選擇，并沉浸在自我世界與周圍環境的對比中的地方。”Adèle說道。線性和模塊化的工作空間被充滿雕塑感與流動性的休閑空間，以及一系列有趣的、引人入勝的設計元素所打斷，定制的樓梯在垂直方向上串聯了不同樓層，并構建出完整的建筑社區，同時將人們吸引到位于上層的公共休閑空間中。

Foolscap applied a disruptive grid to develop the design concept around “serious fun”. “This is based around the idea that The Commons South Yarra is a place where you get to choose your own world and revel in constant contrast,” says Adèle. Linear and modular workspaces are broken up by sculptural and fluid break-out zones and fun, engaging elements. A custom staircase offers vertical connectivity, linking the community across the building and drawing people up into the common break- out spaces on the upper levels.

精心的選材為空間帶來了統一的色調與和諧的氛圍，四個樓層中的空間的色彩與肌理也有著細微的差別。此外，設計中還采用了澳大利亞土著藝術家Jimmy Pike的版畫作品作為裝飾，進而突出了不同環境中不同的色彩氛圍。

Bringing uniformity and synergy to the syncopated floor plate is the materials palette, which shifts in colour, tone and texture as you move up through the four levels of the site. Prints designed by Indigenous Australian artist Jimmy Pike are used to upholster and line different surfaces across the environments.

將人們匯聚一堂

Bringing People Together

為了進一步突出“趣味性”的主題，設計師在項目中設置了一個名為“Conversation Pit”的下沉式豪華休息區。模塊化沙發元素使這處空間能夠靈活地適應不同功能的需求，是團隊合作交流的理想場所。

Feeding that sense of “serious fun” is the Conversation Pit, a sunken plush lounge built into the space. Modular sofa elements make it flexible to different uses and ideal for collaborative catch-ups.

“Think Tank”則是一處供使用者自由配置的空間，能夠作為團建空間或舉辦研討會使用。該空間毗鄰廚房，寬敞開放的“Think Tank”幾乎可以滿足從協同辦公到講演文稿放映的所有活動需求。所有這些都旨在強調居家辦公中不能帶來的體驗。

The Think Tank is a reconfigurable space designed to facilitate team building and workshop days. From collaboration mode to screening and presentation mode, the Think Tank can cater to all needs thanks to the kitchen and event space situated adjacent. All contributing to an emphasis on spaces that you can’t get working at home.

廚房和用餐區位于整個項目的中心，這是一個充滿活力、熱情好客的空間。為了進一步突出空間的趣味性，Foolscap特意為這里引入了一絲工業感，以營造出隨意放松的休閑感，充足的自然采用則為這里帶來了振奮人心的積極氛圍。

At the heart of The Commons South Yarra is its kitchens and dining zone, a vibrant, active and highly hospitable space. Channeling that element of fun, Foolscap has fashioned this space to feel slightly industrial, casual in its non-refinement, and suffused in uplifting natural light.

附加便利設施

Amenity With Added Value

每一個成功的共享辦公空間設計的核心都在于其設施的便利性與環境的舒適性。對于Commons South Yarra來說，Foolscap的設計則將這兩個核心原則進行了進一步的推演，設計師為所有服務區域設想了一系列可能的場景，以愉悅而又高度多功能的方式滿足了團體和個人的需求。

At the heart of every successful co-working environment is its facilities and amenity. For The Commons South Yarra, Foolscap took this one step further, imagining a series of serviceable zones that cater to group and individual needs in a joyous yet highly multi-functional manner.

“當我們開始這個項目時，我們研究了基地周圍的人口和商業類型。通過這項研究，我們看到了時尚、電子商務和新興科技公司等創意產業的明確需求。”Adèle說道。因此，The Commons South Yarra中的標準設施并不局限于辦公，而是得到了更多的擴展，其中就包括“Makers Space”，這是一個功能齊全的車間，能夠滿足人們對于為激光切割、3D打印、藝術創作和手工藝制作的需求。

“As we embarked on the project we studied the demographic and types of businesses surrounding the site. Through this research we saw a clear niche of need for creative industries such as fashion, e-commerce and up-and-coming tech companies, ”says Adèle. The Commons’ standard facilities have been augmented to include the Makers Space, a fully functioning workshop for those hands-on jobs that involve tasks such as laser cutting, 3D printing, arts and crafts and more.

感官室則為使用者提供了放松、冥想甚至練習瑜伽的空間。感官室門口設有鞋柜，室內則包裹在柔軟安靜的氛圍中。簡潔的選材與色調、遮蓋了整面墻壁的窗簾、隱藏照明，再加之被動空氣循環的環境，為整個空間營造出安靜和平和的氛圍。本項目中的其他專用設施還包括：多媒體播客工作室、攝影空間，以及家長室。

A Sensory Room offers patrons time to disengage, meditate or even practise yoga. Shoes are left at the door before stepping into an atmosphere of softness and quietude. Contributing to the hushed sense of calm and clarity is a minimal materials palette, curtain-lined walls, the ambient glow of concealed lighting and passive air circulation. Other dedicated amenities include a multimedia podcast studio, photography spaces and parents room.
