來自專筑編輯Brick的報道。從基于活動的工作到基于健康的工作
新工作場所是澳大利亞最大健康保險公司Medibank公司的大型文化變革項目的一部分，目的是為成員、員工和社區創造更好的健康結果。這個愿望驅使Medibank公司創造世界上最健康的工作場所之一。辦公樓超越傳統基于活動的工作，創造基于健康的工作，這個方法將人的身心健康放在核心位置。
From the architect. From activity-based working to health-based working
The new workplace was part of a major cultural change program for Australia’s largest health insurer Medibank to live its purpose to the core and create better health outcomes for its members, employees and the community. That aspiration drove Medibank to create one of the healthiest workplaces in the world. One that goes beyond conventional Activity Based Working (ABW) to create Health Based Working (HBW) – an approach that places the mental and physical health of people at its heart.

Medibank公司員工有真正的自由來選擇怎樣工作和在哪工作。他們手上拿著筆記本和移動電話，現在能從超過26種工作環境中選擇，從室內安靜的空間和合作中心到能用Wifi的陽臺和能站著工作的地方。工作場所某些區域有生理照明，模擬自然光模式，支持人們的生物節律。員工如果想在白天進行更激烈的鍛煉，他們也能使用一樓的多功能體育場。
Medibank employees have real freedom to choose how and where they work. With laptops and mobile phones in hand, Medibank’s people can now select from more than 26 types of work settings, ranging from indoor quiet spaces and collaborative hubs to wifi-enabled balconies and places to stand and work. Circadian lighting in certain areas of the workspace mimics natural daylight patterns supporting people’s biorhythms. Employees who want a more vigorous workout during the day can also make use of a multipurpose sports court at ground level.

一個蔬果園鄰近體育場，位于演示廚房附近，Medibank公司用這個廚房向職員、非盈利組織和更廣泛的社區推廣健康飲食。建筑自身被描述成“為健康而生”。位于柏克街的正門有一個斜坡，從街道平面盤旋而上， 讓Medibank公司員工在上班途中便于使用自行車存放處。這個象征性和實際的承諾促進了員工的健康和福祉。
Adjacent to the sports court, an edible garden sits near a demonstration kitchen that Medibank uses to promote healthy eating to both staff, not-for-profit organisations and the wider community. The building itself has been described as being ‘hard-wired for health’. A ramp from the main entrance on Bourke Street spirals upwards from street level, allowing Medibank employees easy access to bike storage on their way in to work.?This makes both a symbolic and practical commitment to encouraging employee health and wellbeing.

一個有活力的、會呼吸的建筑改變了周圍環境
建筑和工作場所都種植了大量的植物。大樓內部有2300株植物，立面有520個模塊化種植箱，還有兩面25米高的臨街綠墻。
A living, breathing building transforms its surrounds
Both the building and the workplace incorporate an enormous number of plants. There are 2,300 inside the building and 520 in modular planter boxes on the fa?ade, as well as two 25-metre high street-facing green walls.

在工作場所里，植物有助于減緩壓力，改善內部空氣質量，將景色從灰色變成綠色。大約10%的建筑外面覆蓋著澳大利亞自然植物，大樓是“有活力的、會呼吸的建筑”，也在沉悶的混凝土城市環境里提供受人歡迎的舒緩。
Within the workplace this helps relieve stress, improve internal air quality and transforms views from grey to green. With around 10 percent of the building’s exterior covered by native Australian plants, it’s a ‘living, breathing building’ that also provides a welcome relief within its heavily concreted urban surrounds.

植物的效果結合大樓自身的曲線，傳達了更柔和、更人性化的特點。有質感的立面變化莫測，這與很多城市高樓的堅固和不通透的性質形成鮮明的對比。Medibank辦公樓不僅是一座大樓，也是通向墨爾本多克蘭區的新通道。它在一樓創建了熱情的公共區，有木質劇場、咖啡館、商店和公園，成功回饋周圍的社區。
The effect of the planting combined with the curves of the building itself is to convey a softer, more human character. The facade is tactile and unpredictable?– a stark contrast to the solid and impenetrable nature of many city towers. More than just a building, Medibank Place is a new gateway to Melbourne’s Docklands precinct. It succeeds in ‘giving something back’ to its surrounding community by creating a welcoming public precinct at ground level with a timber amphitheatre, cafes, shops and a public park.

多樣化設計思考創造特色和價值
Medibank公司想要實現新辦公場所的這種創新，這意味著驅動高度協作的設計過程。建筑師和景觀設計師致力于工作場所內部，室內設計師和建筑師致力于公園設計，所有三個部門都參與地基建筑設計。HASSELL事務所也邀請了三家不同的設計公司來合作設計位于大樓中間的廣場層，這三家公司是Chris Connell Design、Kerry Phelan Design Office和Russell & George。這成功地創造了獨具特色和價值的樓層，鼓舞人們以新的方式與他們的工作場所聯系。
Diverse design thinking creates character and meaning
Achieving the kind of innovation Medibank wanted for its new workplace meant driving a highly collaborative design process. Architects and landscape architects contributed to the workplace interiors, interior designers and architects to the park and all three disciplines were involved in the base building design. HASSELL also invited three very different design firms – Chris Connell Design, Kerry Phelan Design Office and Russell & George – to collaborate on the design for the plaza level which sits in the middle?of the tower. This succeeded in creating layers of character and meaning to inspire people to connect in new ways with their workplace.

為Medibank公司傳遞價值
Medibank公司相信，通過提高的生產率和效率，新工作場所將傳遞文化和經濟價值，通過創造適于思想發展的會呼吸的空間，它將有助于激發顧客專注于創新。早期跡象顯示大樓已經傳遞著這些價值。
Delivering value for Medibank
Medibank is confident its new workplace will deliver cultural and financial value through improved productivity and efficiency and will help inspire customer focused innovation by creating breathing space for ideas to grow. Early signs show that the building is already delivering.
Longitudinal Section/縱剖面圖
在Medibank公司搬進大樓僅僅四個月之后，79%的員工報告說他們和同事工作合作更協調，70%的員工說在Medibank大樓工作更健康。此外，66%的員工說在這里工作效率更高，公司呼叫中心發現缺勤率下降5%。Medibank公司的人員和文化部門執行總經理Kylie Bishop說，大樓工作場所和周圍公共空間“體現了我們的目標、價值和所有我們代表的。”
Just four months after Medibank moved in, 79% of employees reported they were working more collaboratively with their colleagues and 70% said they are healthier working at Medibank Place. What’s more, 66% of employees said they were more productive at Medibank Place and the call centre saw a 5% reduction in absenteeism. As Kylie Bishop, Medibank’s Executive General Manager, People and Culture, puts it, the building, workplace and surrounding public space “epitomises our purpose and value and all that we stand for.”
