Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture have designed an airy and open atmosphere for the Foundation offices located in Omaha, Nebraska.
基金会办公室是美国公园中心(前康尼格拉校区)和内布拉斯加州奥马哈市密苏里河畔总体规划项目的第一期工程。现有建筑在结构改造、不规则的空间布局、狭窄、弯曲、光线不足的走廊,以及考虑到在建造过程中可能占用空间的多个租户(每个租户都需要多个私人室内办公室)等方面面临重大挑战。
An interior renovation project in scope and scale, The Foundation offices, is one of the first phases in the Heartland of America Park (formerly ConAgra campus) and Missouri Riverfront master planning project in Omaha, Nebraska. The existing building presented significant challenges in terms of structural rehabilitation, an irregular footprint with tight, winding and poorly lit corridors and consideration of the multiple tenants that would occupy the space during construction, each of whom needed multiple private interior offices.
The design team focused primarily on improving the existing double-height central atrium through lighting, materiality and wayfinding. Axes were strategically cut through the existing plan in order to allow for unobstructed access through a previously labyrinthine and dark space. Perforating the space along these axes with openings and steel catwalks generates layered views of, across, into and through this volume to the shared collaboration areas, conference rooms and greenspaces beyond. This intentional juxtaposition encourages greater visibility, activates the corridor spaces and increases the sense of community in the multi-tenant building.The main design feature is a monumental stair at the intersection of these axes that is hung from the ceiling in the main lobby.
