鹿特丹世界港口中心办公空间改造

鹿特丹世界港口中心（WPC）位于威廉明娜码头西端显眼处，毗邻Mecanoo工作室标志性的蒙得维的亚塔，可俯瞰城市和周边海港。由诺曼·福斯特（Norman Foster）设计并于2000年完工的WPC设施不再适用。于是Mecanoo工作室受委托将32层办公楼的底层和二楼进行改造。良好的可达性、改善其与外部的联系，以及增强社交互动和街景水准是Mecanoo翻新的准则。

The World Port Centre in Rotterdam (WPC) overlooks the city and surrounding harbour from its prominent location at the far western point of the Wilhelmina pier, next to Mecanoo’s iconic Montevideo Tower. Designed by Norman Foster and completed in 2000, the WPC facilities were no longer fit for purpose. Mecanoo was commissioned to upgrade the ground floor and part of the first floor of the 32-storey office building. Good accessibility, improved connections to the outside, social interaction and an inviting street level are principles that guided Mecanoo’s renovation.

协调的活动基于明确的空间Coherent activity based space with a clear identity

Mecanoo工作室基于用户视角创造设计理念：将大厅用作工作环境的起点。这个概念基于福斯特建筑的半圆形式，其中包含许多房间，可以容纳各种正式和非正式活动。房间可以用于会面、喝酒、放松、等待、工作和举办活动。既承担了正式功能，如安保，迎宾和储物，同时也可以作为一些非正式的设施来使用，如会议空间，休息区和用于举办大型活动的酒吧。

Mecanoo’s user perspective method creates a concept to use the lobby as the start of the working environment by facilitating various activities. The concept enfolds, based on the semi-circle form of Foster’s building, with various rooms where diverse formal and informal activities could be facilitated. Rooms to meet, rooms to drink, rooms to relax, rooms to wait, rooms to work, rooms to have an event. The Rooms both facilitate the formal functions, such as security, the welcome desk and lockers, as well as more informal amenities like a meeting space, lounge areas and the main bar for bigger events.

设计巧妙利用立面空间创造休闲座椅，所有设施配合建筑轴心进行定位，以改善视线和室内外联系。从外部可以看到具有强烈个性的设计元素，例如鹿特丹港务局背光标志和酒吧上方的通风帘。这些标志性元素增加了设计感，并为员工和访客创造了一种场所感。新建的螺旋楼梯连接大堂和二楼，并提供水景景观。

The design uses the space along the facade for seating and locates all facilities along the building core with improved sightlines and inside-outside connections. Design elements with a strong identity, such as the Rotterdam Port Authority backlit logo and the airy curtain above the bar are visible from the exterior. These iconic elements add value and create a sense of place for the employees and visitors. A new spiral staircase connects the lobby and first floor and offers scenic views of the water.

各类植物种植池将自然引入空间，营造出健康的氛围。各式座位适应个人或团体的不同选择，创造了吃饭、玩耍、创造或聚会的空间。下楼走近水景，宽敞的露台作为餐厅的延伸。露台沿周边设有吧台和许多种植池，可以举办派对或讲座等各种活动。

Various types of planters bring nature indoors and create a healthy atmosphere. A variety of seating options for individuals or groups create spaces to eat, play, create or meet. Stepping down towards the water, a generous terrace acts as an extension of the restaurant. With a bar along the perimeter and integrated planting, the terrace can host different events, from parties to lectures.

项目选择耐用的材料以匹配空间特色。从声学和耐用性的角度考虑，不同材料的使用位置取决于不同房间的使用方式。电梯大厅覆层以强调建筑核心的切割为目标进行了升级。锤面水波纹金属墙是对海港的呼应，深色天花板与入口设计相宜。

Durable materials were chosen to match the character of the area. The location of the different materials are determined by how the different rooms will be used, both from an acoustic and durability perspective. The lifts lobby was upgraded with cladding that emphasizes the cut in the building core. Water ripple hammered metal panels hint to the harbour, and the new dark ceiling matches the entrance area.

可持续性与幸福感Sustainabilityand wellbeing

安全、包容和舒适的空间将创造一个健康的办公环境。项目优先考虑所有用户的健康和幸福感，追求WELL认证。为了实现这一目标，Mecanoo计划引入饮水点来提供饮用水以减少消耗塑料水瓶。通过使用天然吸音材料，创造一个愉快的工作环境。

A safe, inclusive, and comfortable environment ensures a healthy office. Prioritising the health and wellbeing of all its users, the project pursues WELL certification. To achieve this, Mecanoo’s strategy involved introducing water tap points to stimulate drinking water and reduce wasteful bottle consumption. By using natural sound-absorbing materials we created a pleasant working environment.

楼梯加高以刺激运动。接待处和办公空间移至能够与外部连接的地方。团队重复使用了许多现有的内部元素和饰面，例如天花板、地板、提供新鲜空气的通风装置以及用于加热空间的对流器。团队使用经过认证的木材和可重复使用的低维护材料。室内和室外绿化增强了生物多样性，营造了健康的氛围，并改善了声学效果。

Stairs became more prominent to stimulate movement. The reception and office space were moved to maximise the connections to the outside. We reused many of the existing internal elements and finishes, such as the ceiling, flooring, the ventilation for fresh air and the convectors for heating the space. We used certified wood and low maintenance materials that can be re-used. Indoor and outdoor greenery enhances biodiversity creates a healthy atmosphere and improves acoustics.
