项目背景/Background

该项目是当地一家地产开发企业的自用办公楼，建筑位于两条城市主干道交叉口，六层的中等体量，周边以建成社区为主。

This project is an office building of a local real estate development company, located at the intersection of two major urban roads, with a medium volume of six floors, surrounded mainly by established communities.

项目原来已经有方案并已进场施工，但业主认为原方案玻璃面太多不尽理想，需要在结构与平面均不大动的条件下提升，既需要发挥想象力，同时也要充分考虑现实性。

The original situation of the project is a construction site with too much glass surface, which was not ideal for the client. The original design needs to be improved without significantly change the structure and layout, but also requires imagination and practical issues.

玻璃盒子建筑在国外有较多成功案例，如墨西哥Bioinnova教学楼，若干大尺度悬挑的玻璃盒子互相穿插，体现高技、个性的建筑形象。但在国内，尤其三四线城市，理想方案的实施面临很多现实问题：如开窗对立面的影响、西晒问题、施工精度等，这些因素都会让项目的落地效果大打折扣。

There are many successful cases of glass box building abroad, such as the Bioinnova Teaching Building in Mexico, where several large-scale cantilevered glass boxes are interwoven, reflecting a high-tech and personalized architectural image. However, in China, especially in small cities, the implementation of ideal plan faces many practical problems, such as the impact of window opening, western sun exposure, construction accuracy, etc., which can greatly reduce the actual effect of the project.

考虑到施工现状与业主希望改造方案能充分结合实际需求，我们提出“漂浮的盒子”概念，不追求建筑本身的张扬，而是通过建筑体量与内部功能的重新梳理，实现“形式追随功能”的朴素原则。

Considering the current construction status and the client's requirements, we proposed the concept of the "Floating Boxes", not pursuing the exaggeration of the building itself, but  reorganizing the building volume and internal functions and achieving the principle of "form follows function".

“漂浮的盒子"/Floating Boxes

建筑保留原有体量关系，重新梳理功能，将不同楼层与因悬挑而形成的室外空间结合；在立面上舍弃“纯净、完美”的玻璃盒子意向，以深浅两种颜色的石材对比为基调，强调出不同形体的体量感与悬浮感；

The proposal retains the original volume, and reorganizes the functions, combining the interior space with the outdoor space formed by the cantilever. It abandons the intention of the "pure and perfect" glass boxes image, and takes the contrast of two colors of stone as the keynote, emphasizing the sense of volume and suspension of different boxes.

一层分布有办公的入口、接待空间和企业展示空间，使用连续玻璃面面对外部广场和公园，保留灵活使用的可能性；二层向外悬浮并覆以深色石材，形成一层入口的“雨篷”；三层平面长边内退，短边大尺度悬挑，面向城市形成丰富界面，露台在会议期间可作为员工交流、休憩使用；四五层则是浅色石材包裹的标准楼层，呈现稳定的悬浮体量，功能为高管办公，五层局部为大面积接待用室、厨房、私宴；屋顶层设置茶室，结合屋顶花园布置，平面退让形成院落式布局。

The first floor is the office entrance, reception space, and corporate exhibition space, continuous glass wall faces the square and park, retaining the possibility of flexible use; the second floor suspends outward and covered with dark stone, forming a "canopy" for the entrance; the third floor is retracted on the long side, and the short side is greatly cantilevered, forming a rich interface towards the city, and the terrace are communication space during meetings; the fourth and fifth floors are standard floors wrapped in light-colored stone, presenting a stable volume, with functions for senior executives, and the fifth floor is partially a large area for reception, kitchen, and private banquets; there is a tea room on the roof, combined with the roof garden, and the plan is retreated to form a courtyard layout.

统一模数下的不同表情/Different Expressions Under a Unified Module

建筑四周的环境差异很大，东、北两侧靠近居住区，景观资源、采光通风条件受限，西、南两侧毗邻广场和街道，用来布置主要功能。不同盒子的不同立面，形成不同的建筑表情，以呼应外部环境与内部功能。根据原始结构，我们以1300mm作为外立面材料的基本模数，将石材、玻璃、格栅都统一在相同的模数下，控制单块材料的尺寸，也让不同面的建筑表情具有统一的秩序。

The environment around the building differs on every side. The east and north sides are close to the residential area, with limited landscape resources, lighting and ventilation conditions, and the west and south sides are adjacent to the square and street, which are suitable to arrange office space. Different sides of boxes give different images to echo the external environment and internal functions. According to the original structure, we take 1300mm as the basic module of the facade material, this helps unify stone, glass, and grille under the same module, control the size of a single piece of material, and also offer the architectural expressions a unified order.

建筑南侧面向城市及街角广场，悬浮的盒子立面通透，竖明横隐的玻璃幕墙为室内企业展厅引入自然光线，也成为企业对外展示的“城市窗口“。

The south façade faces the city and the corner square, and the suspended box is transparent, with a vertical clear and horizontal hidden glass curtain wall, introducing natural light into the indoor exhibition hall, and also becoming the "show window" for the enterprise.

西侧面向街道，是建筑主要展示面，同时也面临西晒的现实问题。三角形的开启扇隐蔽式双层幕墙节点，让斜向玻璃避免阳光直射，而玻璃之间的竖向格栅则隐藏了后面的开启扇。既满足室内自然通风的需要，也避免外立面受开启扇的影响，对外保持稳定的公建形象。

The west side faces the street, which is the main display surface of the building, and also has the problem of western sun exposure. The triangular hidden double-layer curtain wall node prevent the oblique glass from direct sunlight, and the vertical grille between the glasses hides the opening part behind it. It not only meets the needs of indoor natural ventilation but also avoids the impact of the facade by the opening part, maintaining a stable public building image.

北侧布局辅助功能，在玻璃间设置竖向金属格栅，增加与西侧立面的统一性。

The north interior space is auxiliary functions, with vertical metal grilles between the glasses to increase the unity of the west facade.

东侧面向现有住宅区，在平面上设置空调外机，立面用横向格栅结合竖向金属型材，并以统一模数组织起来，形成耐看并同样具备自身表情的“背面”。

The east side faces the existing residential areas, with air conditioning units set on the plan, the facade is a combination of horizontal grilles and vertical metal profiles. Both materials are organized in a unified module, forming a "back" that is durable and expressive.

材料的对比与细节/Material Contrast and Details

浅米色哑光质感的石材让浅色的盒子稳定，让建筑具备持久的品质。石材横向分缝拉通，竖向分缝错开，为建筑带来更多丰富的细节。

The light beige matte stone makes the light-colored box stable, allowing the building a lasting quality. The stone is horizontally split through, and the vertical split is staggered, bringing rich details to the building.

深色的盒子由三种饱和度微差的深色石材自由拼贴而成，一方面产生纯粹与变化的对比；另一方面也在近人尺度为来往行人营造细腻的视觉感受。石材随机变化并伴随适度反射，在一天不同的时间投射出周边不同的环境，建筑与环境有了更多交互。

The dark box is made up of three kinds of dark stones with slightly different saturation, which are freely pasted together. It produces a contrast between purity and change, but also creates a delicate visual experience for pedestrians. The stone changes randomly and is accompanied by moderate reflection, showing environment around it at different times of the day, and the building has more interaction with the surroundings.

企业总部办公，除了满足基本功能，也必然体现企业自身的形象。我们试图用适当的策略，传递务实、理性的建筑风格，打造企业名片，让建筑拥有丰富的内涵。

Corporate headquarters should meet basic function requirements, also present the image of the enterprise itself. We try to apply appropriate strategies to convey a pragmatic, rational and rich architectural style, which is also a business card of the client.
