经过深思熟虑将建筑物融入周围环境,并且营造一个高雅而又意味重大的表现方式,在这两者之间找到一个平衡点,正是本案建筑师——丹麦建筑师事务所3XN的设计主导思想,他们受托为KPMG(毕马威会计师事务所)设计全新的丹麦总部大楼。这家公司可以确定,这座新大楼会为他们提供最适宜的平台与环境来实现未来的发展。

当地考虑因素

KPMG总部位于哥本哈根的高消费阶层生活区Frederiksberg,设计目标就是以“好邻居”的身份融入当地环境。建筑师面对这项挑战,设计了这样一座建筑:尽管规模宏伟,却仍然能优雅地融于周围环境。苜蓿叶式立体交叉外形以及淡色的天然石材立面与附近的住宅和办公楼和谐相融。

3XN首席执行官兼建筑师Bo Boje Larsen表示,创造良好的城市环境是通过一系列住房、商业设施与机构的适当搭配实现的,同时也需要周到的建筑设计,注重与周围建筑和环境的融合。因此,我们决定设计这样的建筑:既拥有其独特的优势,又不会过于花哨或哗众取宠。

回归设计

苜蓿叶式立体交叉外形在内部形成了三个光线充足的中庭,每个中庭都是四周开放式办公空间的中心。中庭的格局十分相似,但又不尽相同,让人们很容易就能分清方位。跨越中庭的人行桥不仅在外观上富有情趣,也是在建筑内部穿行的捷径。后勤设计完全实现了KPMG的目标:增强各部门之间的协作关系。

KPMG的董事兼项目经理Søren Sønderholm说,我们很清楚优秀的建筑设计为企业带来的附加值。因此在建筑设计中,我们与3XN建筑事务所保持了密切合作。从而呈现出了一座能更好地代表KPMG企业文化的建筑,为我们实现企业目标提供了更好的基础。

有吸引力、彼此独立

为客户保密是KPMG公司的重要准则,这就需要建筑设计注重安全性,同时还能保持具有吸引力的氛围。在一楼,建筑师设计了一个绿色的金属装置,其四散的形态如同一片室内布景。这个装置事实上巧妙地将各个会议室隐藏起来,在最大限度上分离开这些房间,而其外部可用作接待处和咖啡店。玻璃墙上的艺术作品是特别委托设计的,作为会议室之间的半透明屏障,而布置于建筑其他部位的定制艺术作品也是特色鲜明。事实上,即使是在地下车库,五彩缤纷的摄影艺术作品也为客人和员工提供了一个令人愉悦的环境,让人率先领略到建筑内部的特殊氛围与建筑设计。

A balance between a thoughtful blending into the surrounding scale and an elegant, yet significant expression has been the driving thought behind Danish practice 3XN’s design of the new Copenhagen Headquarters for accountancy and consultancy firm, KPMG. The company is certain that their new building gives them the right settings and environment to achieve future growth.

Local Considerations

The KPMG Headquarters located in Copenhagen’s upscale district of Frederiksberg, has been designed with the goal of fitting into the local setting as a good neighbor. The architects therefore, approached the challenge by designing a building that in spite of its significant size, elegantly adjusts to the surrounding scale. The cloverleaf shape and the light natural stone façade blend in smoothly with the adjacent residential and office buildings.

A good urban environment is created through a mix of housing, business and institutions – and then through considerate architecture that pays attention to the surrounding buildings and environment. Thus, we decided to design a building which had characteristics of subtle strength, yet not overly showy or ostentatious, explains architect and CEO of 3XN, Bo Boje Larsen.

Return on Design

Inside, the cloverleaf shaped design results in three light atriums, each one being the focal point for the surrounding open office spaces. The atriums are stylistically similar, but not identical, making orientation logical and easy. Footbridges across the atriums are not only aesthetically playful, but also are the quickest route through the building. The logistics have been thoroughly planned to achieve KPMG’s goals for greater collaboration between the different departments.

We have been very aware of the added value that great architecture creates for a business. Therefore the building has been designed in close collaboration with 3XN Architects. The result is a building that frames the corporate culture of KPMG and gives us a better foundation for accomplishing our business goals, explains Director, and Project Manager from KPMG, Søren Sønderholm.

Inviting, yet Discrete

Confidentiality is important for the clients of KPMG and that requires architecture which builds in discretion and security, while still retaining an atmosphere which is inviting. At the ground level this challenge has been met by a metallic green installation dispersing itself like an inner landscape. These installations are in fact cleverly concealed meeting rooms offering the utmost in discretion, while the exterior landscape is used for the reception and café. Specially commissioned artwork has been etched on the glass walls as a translucent shield to the meeting rooms, and other custom pieces of artwork are evident throughout the rest of the building. Indeed, even in basement parking, colourful photo art gives guests and employees a cheerful welcome as a pre-cursor to the special ambience and architecture of the building.
