GIPHY除了是最大的搜索引擎和GIF库外，还是一个创建和制作数字内容的在线平台。拥有100多名员工和承包商，客户希望在12,436平方英尺的原始空间中反映出他们品牌的个性，其中包括他们在曼哈顿肉类包装区的新办公室。该公司的三项要求 – 所有员工可以一起工作的开放式办公空间，一个类似餐厅的厨房（CEO可以工作的地方）和灵活的创意空间 – 自然地将迂回的足迹组织成三个区域，以适应每种空间类型。
In addition to being the largest search engine and library of GIFs, GIPHY is an online platform that creates and produces digital content. With over 100 employees and contractors, the client desired a rich work environment reflective of their quirky brand throughout the 12,436 sf raw space that comprises their new office in the meat-packing district of Manhattan. The company’s three requests – open office space where all employees can work together, a restaurant-like kitchen (where the CEO could work), and flexible creative space – naturally organized the circuitous footprint into three zones accommodating each spatial typology.
办公室的核心是开放式的工作站，它们紧密地挤在一起，但充满活力，员工们像一个大家庭一样工作。密集的工作站是围绕着一个由大型头顶灯箱勾画的中心空间布置的。中心空间的空虚是最重要的；它成为公司会议、名人表演或任何其他经常成为员工gif的随机事件的舞台兼t台。动态照明、展示墙、绿色屏幕和覆盖着双色玻璃的会议室增强了空间的戏剧性。
The heart of the office is the open workstations, packed tightly but energetically together with employees working as one big family. The densely packed workstations are the arranged around a central void delineated by a large overhead light box. The emptiness of the central space is paramount; it becomes a stage-cum-runway for company meetings, celebrity performances, or any other random happenstance that often become an employee’s gif. The drama of the space is enhanced by dynamic lighting, walls of displays, green-screens, and conference rooms clad in dichroic glass.
进入这个空间时，访客将找不到接待员，而是一个提供全方位服务的咖啡馆和休息室，里面装满了GIPHY用户的艺术品，也可以作为员工的休息空间。随着您进一步走进办公室，空间变得越来越亲密。宽敞的餐厅可容纳整个办公室供团体和团队午餐。再往后，GIPHY的地下室式会议室和休息空间为员工提供灵活的创意空间和游戏区域，让员工全身心放松。丰富多彩的材料调色板体现了公司的大胆美感，包括双色玻璃，艺术品，彩色会议室和定制的霓虹灯装置。
Entering the space, a visitor will not find a receptionist but rather a full-service, coffee bar and lounge filled with GIPHY user’s art that also serves as a breakout space for employees. As you progress further into the office, the spaces become increasingly intimate. The large dining hall fits the entire office for group and team lunches. Further back, GIPHY’s basement-like meeting rooms and breakout spaces offer flexible creative space and gaming areas for employees to unwind. An exuberant, colorful material palette captures the company’s bold aesthetic, including dichroic glass, commissioned artwork, colorful conference rooms, and custom neon fixtures.
