颠覆常规的洛杉矶 Hungry Man 总部办公室设计

Firm： FreelandBuck

Type： Commercial › Office

STATUS： Built

YEAR： 2017

SIZE： 5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft

FreelandBuck has recently completed an 8,000­-square-­foot office interior for Hungry Man Productions headquarters in Los Angeles. Asked to rethink the organization of the office, the project aims to match the light­heartedness of Hungry Man’s identity with a series of tumbled cubicles that playfully challenge the regularity of the typical office space.

Loosely organized across the large open floor area, the informal arrangement of office spaces creates a diversity of stable and flexible working configurations. Feigning randomness, the cubicles are calibrated to support specific relationships between staff while leaving adjacent breakout spaces open and flexible. In addition, cubicle boxes pile up to make visually prominent display and projection areas that take full advantage of the generous ceiling height of the warehouse shell.

The tumbling cubes are reproduced graphically in the finish treatment of surfaces with CNC-­milled MDF and painted details. From specific points of view, these articulated surfaces create spatial illusions and a lively, dynamic work atmosphere. The linework of the paneling reflects and augments the corrugated metal cladding of the existing steel­-frame warehouse.

The design team for Hungry Man Productions includes Taka Tachibe, Belinda Lee, and Alex Kim.
