Slack是全球成长最快的科技公司，创建于美国旧金山，团队致力于为全球商贸提供具有改革意义的沟通应用程序。在不到五年的时间里，Slack的分公司已经遍及世界，包括温哥华、纽约、墨尔本、伦敦以及都柏林。这些办公室均由老旧工业建筑改造而来，在传承文化遗产的基础上融合新的生产力，呼应了Slack以同理心、团结和工艺为核心的价值取向。
Slack, the world’s fastest growing tech company in history, is a San Francisco based startup offering a revolutionary team communication app for business. After just a handful of years, the company had already opened offices around the globe including Vancouver, New York, Melbourne, London, and Dublin. Each office occupies a former industrial building with interiors that honour the property’s legacy, renew its productivity, and reflect Slack’s values of empathy, solidarity, and craftsmanship.
在打造多伦多办公新址的时候，Slack希望创造一个富于想象力的空间，使之能够体现出企业文化及其与工艺和技术之间的关系。办公室选址于多伦多市中心的一处废弃纺织工厂，设计团队受到空间原始风格和企业经营文化的启发，将这座三层建筑进行重新整修，以满足21世纪科技公司的功能需求。
For their Toron to location Slack sought to create an imaginative space that reflected their company culture and its relationship with craft and technology. Set in a former knitting and textile factory in the heart of downtown Toronto, three storeys within the interior of this mid-rise brick and beam building were redesigned to meet all the needs of a twenty-first century tech company, inspired both by the building’s heritage and the company’s work culture.
设计团队以“沟通流线”为理念，运用线性的几何元素贯穿空间，如折线式的灯具，以及蜿蜒在天花与墙壁的彩色网络电缆。这一设计手法，不由得让人想起原空间机械化编织过程中的纱线，同时也呼应了消息传递应用程序本身的通讯服务特质。接待区，由设计团队携手其长期合作伙伴凯瑟琳·沃尔特（来自Felt Studio）共同设计，工业风的线条以连接对角线的方式包裹住天花和墙面，让每个人在进入办公室的瞬间便能感到温暖而友好的氛围。
The project team drew from a “threads of communication” concept using linear geometries throughout the space, such as continuous angular light fixtures and coloured networking cables running through the length of the office on the ceiling and walls. These enliven the space in an homage to the lines of yarn that were used in the mechanized knitting process, while also referencing the mmunication service of the messaging application itself. In the reception area, the design team worked with long-term collaborator Kathryn Walter of Felt Studio who wrapped diagonal strips of industrial felt along the walls and ceiling, creating a warm and inviting environment as soon as you step into the office.
室内空间的显著特点就是用色大胆，运用对比强烈的鲜明色彩定义出不同的功能区域，包括独立工作区、电话会谈区、会议室、员工休息室以及行政会议室等。每个区域都对应着一种颜色，强化了Slack的品牌文化，增强了公司的身份认同感，也中和了空间内原始砖墙的黄色调，让空间更生动有趣。
A feature characteristic of the interior is the bold, contrasting pops of colour that demarcate distinct areas including solitary work stations, phone booths, break-out meeting rooms, a staff lounge and sleek executive boardroom. Each zone corresponds to a single colour that comprises Slack’s branding, reinforcing company identity while also providing visual interest and relief to the otherwise yellow tones of the brick and wood interiors. Meeting rooms are uniform yet each unique, owing to their bold and varied colour scheme.
彩色的隔音墙板与带有图案的地毯和独特的家具相互呼应，折线式灯具元素贯穿了整个天花板，将工作区域和会议区域连接起来。宽阔的公共咖啡厅仍旧延续了直线的主题，使用了由木板斜向铺设的白色饰面。不同的功能空间满足了140位员工的使用需求，同时为办公室赋予连贯性和统一性。最终，项目为一个陈旧的空间注入了新鲜血液，使其在作为严肃办公场所的同时也为员工带来有趣而舒适的环境。
Throughout, vibrantly coloured acoustic wall paneling matches textured carpeting and distinctive furniture pieces. The angular light fixtures appear to thread through the ceiling, knitting workspaces and meeting rooms together. The large communal cafe picks up on the linear theme again with its white and wood diagonal slat fi nish. The interiors are varied enough to meet the functional requirements of 140 employees, but they also bring a sense of continuity and community to the workplace. The result is a fresh take on an old space that is serious about work while offering a playful and comfortable space for its employees to succeed.
Vitra优雅的橡木桌为行政会议室增添了暖意，桌子上方的吊顶隐藏着各种支持电话会议的技术功能设备，拥有优质的声学性能。屋顶悬挂着与公共区域相同的折线式灯具，形成了良好的呼应。
The elegant oak table by Vitra adds warmth to the executive boardroom. A dropped ceiling over the table conceals technical equipment for various teleconferencing functions, and provides greater acoustic performance. The same angular light fixture threads through the room as an allusion to the continuous lines found throughout the office.
空间的中轴设置了色彩鲜艳的头脑风暴区，用于即时的会议与协作。这些区域的色彩与工作站的中性低调形成了鲜明的对比，摆放着可自动调节高度的桌子和Herman Miller的品牌座椅。
Breakout spaces in vivid colours are carved out of the central volume, for impromptu meetings and collaboration. These provide a contrast to the netural palette of the workstations, with automated sit-to-stand desks and chairs by Herman Miller.
休息室与会议室都位于空间四周的边缘位置，用磨砂的隐私玻璃隔离，并以纺织品的名称进行标识。休息室和工作区域使用了不同类型的家具继续区分，如同此处显示的Casalife椅子和Muuto灯具，而折线式灯具依然是贯穿空间的主要元素。
The building perimeter features a series of lounges and meeting rooms, which are identified by textile names shown in the frosted privacy glass. Lounge spaces are informal and feature different furnishings for distinction, such as the Casalife chairs shown here and the Muuto light fixture. Over the rest of the workstations, angled light fixtures by Lumenwerx provide continuous illumination.
会议室以不同而大胆的颜色作为主题，协调着周围空间。比如这一间，以深品红色为主，搭配Stylex的椅子，Interface的地毯，和Designtex的声学墙纸，白色的墙板抵消了色彩带来的视觉冲击力，桦木镶边的Actiu会议桌和Lumenwerx的白色交叉式吊灯则更有效地提亮了空间。
Meeting rooms are each coordinated around a different, bold colour. This room features a dark magenta carried through the Stylex chairs, Interface carpet, and Designtex acoustic wallcovering, which is offset by the whiteboard, Actiu meeting table edged in birch, and angled white light fixtures by Lumenwerx.
公共咖啡厅既是水吧也是提供餐饮的服务区域。同时，这里也可以召开全员会议，Actiu的躺椅和桌子可以堆加和折叠，能够为超过一百名员工腾出足够的空间。
The communal café functions as both a beverage station and a serving area for catered meals. For “all-hands” meetings, lounge chairs and tables by Actiu can be stacked and folded to make room for over one hundred employees.
受到Scandinavian design品牌家具的启发，咖啡厅的木饰面以海桦木为基底并以对角斜切的方式涂成白色漆面，加强了整个开放空间的线性。
Inspired by Scandinavian design, the millwork in the café features diagonal painted wood slats in Baltic birch, reinforcing linearity throughout the open spaces.
色彩鲜艳的网络线缆再一次加强了Slack的品牌色彩，贯穿了整个工作空间，在天花板和墙壁蜿蜒，成为有力的视觉符号。
Colourful networking cables that once again reinforce Slack’s brand colours are threaded throughout the workspaces, along the ceiling and across walls, as visual accents.
电梯的对面是特制的钉板墙，由当地的Atelier Kozak品牌提供，上面有Slack的标识与标语，用来迎接每一位到访者。同时，钉板墙的内容可以修改，每位员工都可以充分发挥自己的兴趣和创造力。
Opposite the elevator, a pegboard fabricated by local Atelier Kozak greets guests with company slogans and logos. It can be reorganized by employees, inviting playfulness and creativity.
员工休息室里，Normann Copenhagen定制的椅子被嵌在天花板上的折角形LED灯照亮，这里也有一面钉板墙，更增加了空间的趣味性。
Custom built-in benches and chairs by Normann Copenhagen are illuminated in the space by angular LED light fixtures recessed into the ceiling. Another pegboard here adds to the playfulness of this employee lounge.
