MVRDV为国际电商平台Shopify改造了德国柏林的办公空间。这个面积为1,000平方米的室内设计项目旨在强调高度国际化的协作模式，与居家办公空间互为对比和补充，为这个充满活力的加拿大国际电子商务平台提供理想的办公环境，重新思考与定义企业办公空间的目的与功能。

MVRDV has completed the interior redesign of Shopify Berlin, located on Köpenicker Strasse in the Berlin-Mitte district. Designed as a contrast to the home office with a focus on highly intentional collaboration as a collective experience, the 1,000-square-metre interior project provides the dynamic Canadian-founded commerce company an ideal design for its re-think of the purpose of its physical workspaces.

Shopify 位于德国柏林米特区的办公楼改造计划于2020年初启动。然而由于疫情，员工转为居家办公，Shopify因此颠覆性地重新思考了办公空间的真正意义。在认识到员工能够远程独立完成工作后，Shopify邀请MVRDV重新设计办公空间，最大限度地发挥建筑自身的潜力，作为开展协作、头脑风暴和参与公司文化的全新活力场所。

In early 2020, the planned renovation of Shopify’s office building in Berlin-Mitte was already well underway. Then came the startof the Coronavirus pandemic, and with it a suddenswitch to working from home that caused the company to dramatically rethink what it needed from its office building. Acknowledging that focused individual work is best completed remotely, Shopify brought MVRDV on board for a redesign that maximises the building’s potential as a base for working collaboratively with others, brainstorming new ideas, and engaging in the company’s vibrant culture.

MVRDV的设计范围涵盖地面一层和地下层，以及上至六层的主要空间。其中包括三个“现场”会议室和各种“体验室”，用于公司聚会、休闲办公和其他不同形式的工作与社交场景。MVRDV充分利用了疫情前半完工的现场条件，采用可持续的设计手法，循环利用现有的墙面、地板装饰、灯具和家具等结构和材料，包括MVRDV参与设计前已完成购买的全部灯具。

MVRDV’s interior design primarily occupies the ground floor and basement levels, as well as additional prime spaces up to the sixth floor. It comprises three “on-site” rooms, which serve as the primary meeting rooms, as well as a variety of “experience rooms” which enable company gatherings, more casual work environments, and other, more specific atmospheres. Wherever possible, the design takes the sustainable approach of re-using elements from the previous half-built renovation, making use of everything from wall and floor finishes to lighting fixtures and furniture. For example, 100% of the lighting fixtures were purchased prior to MVRDV's design.

除了典型的会议桌外，每间“现场”会议室都设置了一个“彩色休息室”，即一个用布帘分隔出来的空间，为自由放松的讨论提供了更为舒适的环境。休息室的颜色及整体设计中色彩选择也遵循了Shopify的品牌视觉系统。

In addition to the typical conference table, each of the on-site rooms is embellished with a “colour lounge”, an adjacent space separated by a curtain that provides a more comfortable environment for free-flowing discussions. The colours of these lounges – like the colours throughout the design – are based on the visual identity of Shopify.

The project celebrates not only Shopify culture but also the Berlin cityscape, providing a visual reminder of the things that make the city an exciting place to live and work. The reception desk makes use of blue-green “metro tiles” in reference to the city’s U-Bahn stations, while the opposite wall features the art piece Intersections by Carolina Amaya, recalling the city’s vibrant street art.

“这是一个令人兴奋的项目，我们从中能够批判地思考和构想后疫情时代的办公空间”，MVRDV合伙人Fokke Moerel说道，“如今，人们普遍开始居家办公，对于像Shopify这一类原本就以远程办公为主的互联网公司来说，一切就更加简单了。因此，传统的办公空间将转变成更加能够刺激主动性的协作空间，通过设计，办公环境被赋予了更具特色的城市精神，具有更强的在地性和工作活力"。

“This project gave us an exciting opportunity to think critically about how workspaces can be reimagined after 2020”,says MVRDV partner Fokke Moerel. “Now people can workfrom home – and fora company like Shopify, whose work is primarily remote-first, that’s even easier. In turn, what was once an office becomes a space for employees to collaborate with intention, brought to life by design touches that reinforce the unique spirit of the city they’re in.”
