作为定制手工帽的领先制造商之一,Optimo公司为全球客户提供手工定制服务,距今已有25余年历史。该公司将其设计、运营和生产空间整合到位于芝加哥南部比弗利历史街区一座拥有百年历史的闲置消防站内,作为其新总部。Optimo将该项目的设计托付于具有相同价值观念的SOM,希望能在空间设计中反映它严谨、专注的企业文化。
Since its founding more than 25 years ago, Optimo Hat Company has developed a cult following as a leading maker of handcrafted hats for diverse and global clientele. Optimo''s new headquarters consolidates its design, operations, and production spaces inside a 100-year-old decommissioned firehouse located in Beverly, a historic neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. To create a space that reflects Optimo’s ethos, the company engaged SOM, a firm that shares the same values. The design of the new headquarters befits a hat maker known for its rigorous attention to detail.
设计取材于黑钢、胡桃木和软木等精炼低调的材料,旨在打造一个展现当代工业美学的工作室:精美的钢质烧铸框架围绕着工位上方的照明灯管;落地式搁架存放着独特的帽模和帽坯;滚轮帽架整齐地收纳着帽品并使其流畅地运输到车间;现代和古式机械统一覆盖上了哑黑色;修复过的玻璃砖墙围绕着充满自然采光的双层挑高空间。
Envisioned as a contemporary workshop with an industrial aesthetic, the design draws from a palette of refined and understated materials, including blackened steel, walnut, and cork. Elegant steel casings frame task and ambient lighting above workstations; floor-to-ceiling shelving houses unique hat forms and molds; tailor-made rolling racks organize and mobilize hats for effortless access on the factory floor; mode and antique machinery were organized and finished uniformly in matte black; and restored glazed-brick walls wrap the daylit double-height space.
二楼宽敞的设计工作室空间可用作接见宾客。直径3米的手工圆形灯具进一步定下了房间的基调,位于灯具下方的一张约6米长的胡桃木桌与一楼工作台的设计相互呼应。东墙设有3米多高的钢制帽架,陈列着公司几十年来的藏品,包括生产设备、定制工具和具有历史意义的帽品。
On the second floor, an expansive studio space serves as a design atelier to host clients and guests. A handcrafted circular light fixture, measuring 10 feet in diameter, anchors the room, while a 19-foot walnut table recalls the design of the factory workbenches below. Along the east wall, 12-foot-tall steel shelves display a collection of objects drawn from decades of hatmaking, including production equipment, custom tools, and historic hats.
除此以外,消防站留下的痕迹透过很多地方得以展现,比如在原本设有通达地面的消防攀爬杆的地方,设置了可一窥下层车间的舷窗。
Remnants of the original firehouse can be seen throughout, including porthole windows flush to the floor where firepoles once stood, opening views to the workroom below.
在临近工作室的地方,开放式搁架围成了一个私人办公空间,它采用了与工厂层使用的工业帽品推车相同的设计风格。真皮沙发、黄铜灯具和黑色墙壁为休息区营造了舒适的氛围。隐藏在南墙背后的私人区域与厨房为活动或来访客户所打造,这些空间则采用了原先在消防站冲凉室中发现的大理石作为材料。
Next to the atelier, a private office is delineated by open shelving designed in the same style as the industrial hat carts used on the production floor. Leather sofas, brass light fixtures,and dark walls create a comfortable ambience in the lounge area. Tucked discretely behind the south wall, private areas and a full-scale working kitchen, finished with marble discovered in the original firehouse showers, serve as staging spaces for events and client visits.
SOM的设计为该设施营造出高效的工作流程。新总部将使Optimo的生产力翻番,使其更加适应未来的扩张。除此以外,它通过聘用当地居民和培育创意社区,促进了当地社区的经济发展,并激发了社会活力。“我们十分骄傲能够为这个小型项目提供高水准的成熟的思想和严谨的设计,并与芝加哥南部丰富的工艺历史建立联系。”SOM设计合伙人Brian Lee说,“这为这座城市创造了一个了不起的故事。”
SOM create an efficient workflow for the facility. The new headquarters doubles Optimo''s production capacity and accommodates future expansion. The company supports Beverly’s economic and social vitality by employing local residents and fostering a creative community. “We are proud to apply a high level of thoughtfulness and design rigor to this small project, connecting to a rich history of craftsmanship in South Chicago,” says Brian Lee, Design Partner at SOM. “This is a great story for the city.”
