“關於工作與生活的平衡” 是我們這幾年在思索辦公室空間時的重要議題

“Work-life balance” has been an important question for us in thinking about office space these past few years.

我們普遍超過1/3的時間會在工作場域中生活 比重有時比家更重一些

We generally spend more than 1/3 of our time living in the workplace — sometimes more than at home.

當每次想到這個議題時，彷彿把工作與生活放在蹺蹺板的兩端， 一方升起了，另一方總要下降

Each time we think about this, it feels like work and life sit at two ends of a seesaw — one side rises, the other always falls.

也許現在的工作與生活的型態，更像一個圓，

Maybe the current form of work and life is more like a circle,

沒有起點與終點，這兩件事本是同一件事，同一個概念。 因此我們解構辦公室，

with no beginning and no end. The two are the same thing, the same concept. So we deconstruct the office —

會議/玩樂/展覽/休憩/喝咖啡這些概念拆散而重組

meeting / play / exhibition / rest / coffee — these concepts are taken apart and reassembled

這間辦公室屬於一家遠距臨場商務公司，位在一棟 35 年透天厝的一樓。工作時間佔掉一天約三分之一，本案要重新做出一個充滿光線的容器，容納研究、會議與休息。拆除室內隔間，以斜向折線與極簡配色雕塑內部，把動線收攏在一起，讓氣氛保持開闊。正立面的大面落地窗，加上後段屋頂局部的天窗，降低用電，也修正鄰棟過近造成的採光不足。

This office for a telepresence commerce company occupies the ground floor of a 35-year-old townhouse. Since working hours take up roughly a third of the day, the project set out to rebuild a light-filled container for research, meetings and time off. Internal walls were removed and the interior sculpted with angled polylines in a minimal palette, drawing circulation together and keeping the atmosphere open. Wide French windows at the facade and a skylight over part of the rear roof reduce electricity use and correct the poor daylight caused by closely neighboring buildings.
