心中的曼哈顿Manhattan in Mind

Kinzo为国际律所Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer翻新柏林波茨坦广场Kollhoff塔中的三个楼层，打造出更具亲和力与温馨氛围的未来型办公空间。设计灵感更接近纽约公寓而非传统企业总部，将原本面向城市景观的高管办公室改造成员工共享的会议室与休闲区，体现“以人为本”的理念。

Kinzo has remodeled and redesigned three floors of the Kollhoff Tower at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin for the international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The brief called for an inviting, cozy interior design – future-oriented spaces that are more reminiscent of a New York apartment than a corporate headquarters. Where the community takes center stage and prestigious corner offices with a view have been transformed into meeting lounges and cafeterias.

此次改造面积约3,000平方米，所在地址为Hans Kollhoff于1999年设计的砖砌摩天楼Potsdamer Platz 1。Kinzo的任务是将原本由他人长期租用、已显老旧的高品质空间，升级为满足当代办公需求的场所，新增便于交流的开放区域，并打造出从第一天起就舒适宜用、不过分追求潮流实验的室内环境。在这项“旧楼翻新”的任务中，Kinzo如同量身定制一件完美西装般精细调整原有结构，提出基于“hotelling”理念的办公模式：配备齐全的单人和双人办公室宛如智能酒店客房，供员工提前预约，所有声学、家具、照明与信息技术设备均针对律所业务流程进行了优化。

More transparency, more atmosphere: Kinzo has converted around 3,000 square meters of office space for the Berlin branch of the law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The address is prestigious: three floors in the Potsdamer Platz 1 tower block, a brick building designed by architect Hans Kollhoff and completed in 1999, where the law firm already occupies several floors. The task of the extension was to adapt the high-quality premises, which had been used by another tenant for many years and were now worn out, to meet today’s requirements for working environments. In addition, places for meetings and dialogue were to be included. The aim was to fulfill the high expectations of the international law firm: They wished for an atmospherically pleasant, inviting interior design without any contemporary experiments that would work from day one. In this project, building in existing structures meant tailoring the existing structure into a perfectly fitting customized suit. Kinzo developed the workstations based on the so-called hotelling concept: There are comfortably furnished single and double offices that resemble smart hotel rooms. Employees can book them in advance and find everything they need, including room acoustics, furnishings, lighting and IT equipment that are optimized for the tasks and processes of a law firm.

为每个人提供更优质的服务More quality for everyone

项目中最具突破性的一项改造是：部分原本拥有优越城市景观的角落高管办公室被改为供全员使用的休闲区、会议室和咖啡厅。Freshfields的管理层愿意让出这些象征身份的空间，共享最优质的资源。Kinzo创始合伙人Karim El-Ishmawi表示：“品质最好的空间将成为大家的共享空间，这是为所有人带来更多的方式。”

Perhaps the most remarkable change that Kinzo made in the course of the remodeling: some of the prestigious corner offices with views of the TV tower, Berlin-Mitte or City West were converted into lounges, meeting rooms and a cafeteria. The managers at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer were persuaded to give up their usual privileges. ‘The areas with the highest quality will become areas for the community, meeting places,’ says Karim El-Ishmawi, founding partner of Kinzo. ‘So there is more for everyone.’

此次改造还包括重新规划三角形平面的三层楼面：将传统办公室转变为公共区域，拓宽狭长走道、扩大茶水间并设置研讨教室。为了加强楼层间的联系，Kinzo还在塔楼西端开设了一个贯通三层的开放楼梯，避免员工频繁绕行至电梯间。由于项目位于高层建筑内，结构、消防、安全等标准极其严格，使得这项看似自然流畅的改造实则耗费大量精力。

Modernizing the floor plans of the three triangular floors was one of the core measures of the project: in addition to converting offices into communal areas, the long, tapered corridors were also partially widened, the kitchenettes enlarged and a room for workshops set up. Kinzo has even carried out a vertical breakthrough so that the teams can network better with each other: At the western end, an open staircase now provides access to the three floors – and saves employees the diversions via the entrance and lift. But what now feels completely natural was time-consuming: Building in existing structures involves a considerable amount of planning, especially in a high-rise building. Requirements for statics, fire protection and building services have to be reconciled with the new design.

像城市公寓一样舒适As cozy as a city as a city apartment

Kinzo在尊重原建筑的基础上进行当代表达：“我们不想违背Hans Kollhoff当年以1930年代曼哈顿塔楼为灵感的设计理念，而是希望将之带入当下。”譬如，原建筑内核心筒体结构十分醒目，因此Kinzo干脆赋予其强烈美学表达：三个楼层的核心筒被统一涂饰为墨绿色，并包覆竖向木饰面板，将门体等元素嵌入其中，呈现出一种整体而有力的沉稳感。相对之下，原本封闭的办公间隔墙则被改为玻璃隔断，加强视野通透，让使用者能更好感知建筑与其所在城市之间的关系。

‘We wanted to preserve the character of the building,’ says Karim El -Ishmawi. ‘We didn’t want to oppose Hans Kollhoff’s design idea of a building in the style of the tower blocks in Manhattan in the 1930s but bring it into the present day.’ Take the massive building cores, for example: ‘The cores are dominant in the architectural structure. So we made a virtue of necessity and gave them a strong aesthetic.’ On all three floors, the building cores are petrol -colored and clad with vertical slats. Doors and other elements are integrated to create a monolithic, compact appearance. This brings strength and calm to the interior. In contrast, Kinzo opted for transparency in the walls between the corridors and offices: instead of the original plasterboard walls, there are now glass partitions that create visual references to the outside. ‘Permeability was important to us. This allows you to experience the building and its location better.’

Kinzo还保留了大楼精致的室内木质窗框，并在办公空间中继续运用相似木材打造墙板、坐台与平台。由Kinzo联合色彩专家Friederike Tebbe设计的整体配色方案亦功不可没：三层楼中的墨绿色核心筒搭配淡绿、紫色、深蓝、砖红等温润沉稳的色调，营造出家庭般的氛围。共享区域的家具陈设更令人联想起精品酒店或纽约市中心的雅致公寓——Kinzo为每个空间精心挑选中世纪现代至当代风格的家具与灯具，并辅以织物与绿植，呈现出一套丰富而协调的整体体验。

The elaborate interior façade of the high -rise building with its wooden window profiles was retained, however, and Kinzo applied the materials for new fixtures and fittings, including wooden wall paneling and benches or platforms in the offices. The color concept, which Kinzo developed in collaboration with color expert Friederike Tebbe, largely contributes to the homely atmosphere. The petrol -colored cores throughout are complemented by other colors depending on the floor, with warm, muted nuances such as light green, violet, dark blue and terracotta dominating. The fact that the interior design is more reminiscent of a boutique hotel or a chic city apartment in New York is also due to the furnishing of the communal areas: Kinzo curated an eclectic mix of furniture and lighting from mid -century to contemporary, individually selected for each room and complemented with textiles and plants.
