創意辦公室空間參考

為了創造更有活力和設計感的辦公環境，一下蒐集了一些還不錯的範例做case study，如果大家有喜歡的那幾張，歡迎拿出來討論看看如何適當的作為創意部門空間的改善。

Cool Hunter 里表示目前企業真正開始注重設計他們的辦公環境，裡面有介紹的這個辦公環境來自ANZ Centre in Melbourne’s Docklands
每一層樓都利用一種槍眼的顏色混搭暗沈的顏色，可以參考在公司裡面每個空間來點不一樣的新鮮感，有些鮮艷的顏色讓設計工作上也有更多的特色。

dtac House 為了在他們多變化環境地下加強公司的員工的溝通，有共同的目標，增加創意啓發，而利用了“玩樂＋學習”的概念區設計他們自己的辦公室。

公司裡面還賽跑道和足球和不同的運動空間提高樂趣。

Macquarie Investment Bank – Sydney銀行的辦公空間利用了設計成為變化多端的主要元素去鼓勵人們工作。他們採用了一種新的概念叫Activity-Based Working (ABW)，員工有彈性的選擇自己喜歡的工作環境。他們成功減少利用50％的電梯，而且一半以上的員工每天更換自己的工作環境，77％的員工喜歡這種自由有彈性的空間。

＊可考慮這種做法讓各位對於煩人乏味的工作有新鮮感，創造不同的辦公位置，讓他們每天自己選擇自己喜歡的空間去完成任務，而更對自己的工作更有興趣。

Maurice Mentjens Design, based in Holtum, the Netherlands。一家設計和動畫公司。這家公司也陸續創作各種好評佳作。

他們利用燈管玩了一些特別的照明

Syzygy Agency, Hamburg 這家為了讓員工有在同一條船上的概念特別訂造了辦公位置給員工，位置也可以隨意轉過頭來討論

他們也是一家專門在做互動創意的公司服務，服務的客戶有Chanel, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda and Fujitsu
。

Ogilvy & Mather Guangzhou Office – A Carnival of Ideas 這絕對是讓人期待的辦公環境，並得到Most Successful Design Award 2008

他們指出在中國利用辦公環境的這個新概念策略是讓員工幫助完成結案的目標。

Smart employers are realizing that a creative workspace inspires greater productivity and…you guessed it, creativity.
