为了强调其作为世界电信业的领军企业的地位，同时也具有公民、文化和环保意识，TELUS与Westbank合作，将温哥华市中心的一整块黄金地段改造成一个鼓舞人心的工作场所，并成为市中心社区的温馨目的地。这个雄心勃勃的100万平方英尺、耗资7.5亿美元的开发项目由Henriquez Architects设计，包括一座24层的办公楼和一座53层的住宅楼，其中9层为TELUS的全国总部。

To emphasize its status as a leading organization in the world of telecommunications that is also civically, culturally and environmentally minded, TELUS collaborated with Westbank to transform an entire city block of prime downtown Vancouver real estate into an inspiring workplace and a welcoming destination for the downtown community. The ambitious one-million-squarefoot, $750 million development designed by Henriquez Architects comprises a 24-floor office tower and a 53-floor residential tower, with nine floors dedicated to TELUS’ national headquarters.

OMB事务所受雇为该公司的1000名员工的办公室创造一个彻底的现代室内装修，通过一个低调而实用、温暖而诱人的环境来反映其品牌--加拿大西海岸的风景。他们希望内部设计能够强调TELUS的公司价值观（创新、团队合作、成长、变革和机会）；同时通过最先进的工作场所技术来展示品牌的地位。

Office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers (omb) was hired to create a thoroughly modern interior fit-out for the company’s 1000 employee office that would reflect its brand through an environment that would be understated and functional, warm and inviting and celebrating of its locale—Canada’s West Coast landscape. They wanted the interiors to underscore TELUS’ company values (innovation, teamwork, growth, change and opportunity); and also demonstrate the brand’s stature through the most state-of the-art workplace technologies.

为了营造独特的地方感，OMB用当地的材料，特别是自然色调的木材、室内花园和艺术，为综合体注入了新的元素。奠定了综合体的整体基调，温馨的木质包覆的大堂/接待区被一个从TELUS品牌中抽象出来的叶子花瓣组成的mb设计的屏幕所包围，压缩了空间，并在多层的空中大堂花园中创造了一种释放感。在这个双层高度的四层空间中，插入了浮动的 "skybox会议室"，这在温哥华的建筑中是第一次，它增加了节目的容量，将每一层楼连接起来并赋予其生命力，将公共和私人领域融合在一起，并让用户与城市有一个难忘的联系。这些房间漂浮在种植有活树和灌木的高架花园上--让人想起许多后现代时期的办公室，但多年来并不流行。

Creating a distinct sense of place, omb imbued the complex with local materials, particularly natural toned wood, interior gardens and art. Setting the overall tone for the complex, the welcoming, wood-clad lobby/reception area was framed with an ombdesigned screen of abstracted leaf petals derived from TELUS branding, compressing the space and creating a sense of release in the multi-storey sky lobby garden. Inserted into this double height four storey space, floating “skybox meeting rooms,” an architectural first in Vancouver, increase programming capacity, link and animate every floor, merge the public and private realms and give users a memorable connection to the city. These float over raised gardens planted with live trees and shrubs – recalling many offices of the post-modern period, but not in vogue for many years.

设计团队发起并策划了一个全面的、定制化的艺术项目，以确保从最初的阶段就将艺术、室内设计和客户的愿景融合在一起。以自然为基础的主题："意义的材料"，所有的艺术作品都是由加拿大艺术家创作的，在不同的抽象程度上表达了铜、木头和纺织品作为传递知识、颂扬历史和连接人们的手段的作用。omb为TELUS的常驻和流动员工提供了不同的会议空间，以促进不同的工作风格，所有的空间都是完全而谨慎的。提供不同层次的互动，以及声学和视觉上的隐私，构建了各种协作区域。不同的工作空间包括站立式移动工作站、正式会议室、网真会议设施和各种休息室，旨在促进即兴协作和团队合作。内部花园和种植的屋顶平台也可作为会议场所，并提供独特的工作空间与外部景观的连接，可欣赏到城市及其自然山水和海洋的壮丽景色。特别的设施，如为员工提供的Café Fresh和一个大型厨房/休息室，营造了一个重视团队建设的办公环境。不同的空间展示了TELUS对电信业的动态和多面性，包括创新中心，开发团队在这里测试和展示新生的技术、想法和概念，以及TELUS工作室，制作团队在这里开发品牌纪录片短片。

The design team initiated and curated a comprehensive, customized art program to ensure the integration of art, interior design and client vision from the earliest stages. Founded on a nature-based theme - ‘Materials of Meaning’, the artworks, all by Canadian artists, express at different levels of abstraction the role of copper, wood and textiles as means to transfer knowledge, celebrate history and connect people. Embracing TELUS’ combination of resident and mobile workers, omb fitted the headquarters with varied meeting spaces to foster different work styles, all fully yet discreetly wired. Offering differing levels of interaction along with acoustic and visual privacy, a variety of collaborative areas were constructed. The varied workspaces include standing touchdown (mobile) workstations along with formal meeting rooms, telepresence conference facilities and various lounges, designed to promote impromptu collaborations and teamwork. Interior gardens and planted roof decks also function as meeting places and provide a unique connection of workspace to the exterior landscape with dramatic views of the city and its natural mountain and ocean context. Special amenities, such as Café Fresh for staff and an extensive kitchen/lounge foster an office environment that values team building. Various spaces illustrate TELUS’ dynamic and multifaceted approach to telecommunications, including The Innovation Centre, where development teams test and showcase nascent technologies, ideas and concepts, as well as the TELUS Studios, where production teams develop branded documentary shorts in house.

OMB对空间质量、光线、景观、艺术、家具和饰面，从城市规模到单个元素都给予了极大的关注，精心打造的室内设计结合了重要性和谦逊感、永恒性和灵活性，抓住了TELUS的品牌精髓和在加拿大及国际电信领域的领导地位。

With great attention to quality of space, light, views, art, furnishings and finishes, from the urban scale to the individual elements, omb crafted interiors that combine a sense of importance and modesty, timelessness and flexibility, capturing the essence of TELUS’ brand and leadership in Canadian and international telecommunications.
