位于基辅的软件公司Grammarly办公室内有工作、休息和娱乐的空间,其中包括他们自己的会议厅、午睡舱和隔音音乐室。该办公室占据了基辅一幢14层高的建筑的前两层楼。由当地建筑师Balbek Bureau设计,以容纳Grammarly日益壮大的员工队伍。
There’s room for work, rest and play inside software company Grammarly’s office in Kiev, which includes its own conference hall, nap pods, and a soundproof music room.The office occupies the top two floors of a 14-storey building in Kiev and has been designed by locally-based architects Balbek Bureau to accommodate the growing workforce of Grammarly.
Grammarly成立于2008年,是一款计算机软件,可帮助用户实时检查其在线书面内容的拼写,语法和剽窃情况。位于基辅的办公室是它的第三个办事处,加入了旧金山和纽约的阵营。
Founded in 2008, Grammarly is computer software that helps users check their online written content for spelling, grammar and plagiarism in real time. This is its third office, joining bases in San Francisco and New York. 该公司希望其乌克兰办公室拥有一系列适合各种工作和办公活动的多功能空间。 因此,Balbek Bureau在这个1300平方米的较低楼层中布置了大型玻璃幕墙会议室,开放式办公桌以及配有演讲台的中央会议厅。
The company wanted its Ukrainian outpost to boast a number of versatile spaces that would suit various styles of work and office activities. Balbek Bureau has thus arranged the 1,300 square-metre lower level to include large, glass-fronted boardrooms, open desks, and a central conference hall complete with a speaker podium.
该办公室的几个角落还配备了扶手椅或豆袋座椅,员工可以在那里休息或举行非正式会议。如果员工想要独处或安静的工作时间,他们可以去只有一到两个人的小包厢。
Several of the office’s nooks have also been dressed with armchairs or beanbag-style seats where staff can lounge or have informal meetings. Should employees want privacy or quiet time for work, they can head to smaller box rooms that have been created to host just one or two people. 这一层的娱乐区域包括餐厅、图书馆和隔音室,隔音室可用于观看视频或演奏乐器。
Recreational areas at this level include a canteen, library, and a soundproof room that can be used to watch videos or play musical instruments.

Made from 25 tonnes of metal, the walkway has no ground support but is instead suspended from the ceiling by slim poles.”It unites various functional zones of the office into a single life cycle or rhythm,” explained the studio.”It has also become a powerful symbol of the inseparable connection between Grammarly offices in Kyiv, New York, and San Francisco.” 楼上还有一个舒适的座位区,中心是一个壁炉,还有几个四四方方的空间,用作午睡室。每个床垫下面都安装了一个重量传感器,这样员工一躺下,就会亮起象征睡眠的三个z,让其他人知道这个空间被占用了。
Upstairs also has a cosy seating zone centred by a firepit, and a handful of boxy
