Office S&M完成了對自己工作室的改造，以創造一個適應他們工作流程的空間，它基于以人為本的理念，注重福祉和環境可持續性。

Office S&M has completed the retrofit of their own office, to create a space that suits their process, which is based on people-centric design, wellbeing, and environmental sustainability.

過往的實踐使我們相信，做設計是一種社會行為，因此主要空間圍繞著社交活動展開，有用于交流討論的沙發，施展頭腦風暴的速寫區，以及制作和展示模型的地方。這是對復合型工作流程的回應——團隊需要在靈活性與工作氛圍之間取得平衡。同時，一整面的材料樣品墻讓每個人都能感受到相關的想法和靈感，并允許在辦公室內展示個性。

The practice believes that design is a social act and therefore the main space is geared around communal activity, with sofas for discussion, breakout sketching areas, and places to make and display models. This is their response to hybrid working – the team needs a balance of flexibility and studio atmosphere. Meanwhile a full-width wall of material samples keeps pertinent ideas and inspirations at the top of everyone’s minds, while allowing for individual personalisation within the office.

新的工作空間棲居在一個現有的建筑里–位于達爾斯頓的Bootstrap工作區，這代表了我們實踐的另一個關鍵宗旨：以少做多。辦公室以前用來做油漆生意，這似乎也很符合我們的基調。彩色的墻壁和家具給員工和訪客的臉上帶來了笑容，送去了歡樂，并提高了生產力。不僅如此，辦公室還為使用者帶來了更多改善健康的好處，植物比人還多，使人親近自然，以及更多的技術解決方案，比如空氣凈化器和符合人體工程學的工作臺。

The new space inhabits an existing building – the Bootstrap Workspace in Dalston – which represents another key tenet of the practice: do more with less. It also seems appropriate that the former purpose of our office was for a paint-making business. Colourful walls and furniture bring a smile to the faces of staff and visitors alike, bringing joy and leading to greater productivity. More than this, the office delivers wellbeing improvements to its occupants, with more plants than people for biophilic benefits, to more technical solutions such as air purifiers and ergonomic workstations.

設計只對工作室進行了輕微的改動，包括頂部暴露的混凝土梁，以及使用由廢棄塑料瓶回收制成的隔板，將會議室與房間內其他區域分隔開。這種材料提供了極好的隔音性能，并像燈箱一樣能從內部發光。就像對這個元素的運用，工作室某種程度上就是一個實驗室，與所有其他項目一樣，Office S&M喜歡思考創新的方式來使用既實用又有趣的材料。

A light touch was taken to the studio design with exposed concrete beams overhead and a meeting room separated from the rest of the room thanks to sheets of recycled-plastic-bottle loft insulation. This material provides excellent acoustic insulation and it glows from within like a lightbox. For this element, the office was used as a laboratory, as with all projects, Office S&M love to think about innovative ways to use materials that are both practical and fun.
