Converging global industry and local culture creates diverse and inclusive workplaces that can help companies attract more outstanding talent across the world. The city of Suzhou has long attracted technology companies despite its quiet cultural heritage that contrasts with the creative energy of the technology industry. This contrast provided the key challenge for this new workplace project.

From space planning to color selection, the project was inspired by the Classical Gardens of Suzhou. The arrival hall blends with exterior paving and greenery, creating a natural transition from the outdoors upon entry. The permeable façade of the building embodies details from Suzhou-style architecture, while a modern adaptation of Chinese screens underscores a respect for local culture. Inside, a flowing “stacking garden” infuses energy and connects diverse spaces, creating a resilient, place-informed throughline feature.

The Suzhou Campus embodies the newest trends in technology office design and helped this confidential global technology company attract new talent. Thoughtfully integrated cultural elements combine with dynamic office spaces and a focus on sustainable materials to place the focus on employee health and well-being. These innovative design features highlight the company's commitment to its people and place as it embarks on a new journey in Suzhou.

当下千篇一律的极简风格，已不再是国际一流跨国企业的办公设计标杆。融入在地文化、打造多元包容且独具气质的办公环境，正成为吸引卓越人才的关键。通过完善的配套设施、合理的空间规划，并融合当地特色文化元素，企业能够积极传递其为员工、客户及未来人才打造实现抱负与梦想平台的愿景与担当。当企业价值观得到充分表达，并持续投入员工福祉与体验，所带来的组织凝聚力与长期价值回报也将愈发显著。

Gensler 与这家全球科技企业已多次合作，深知融入本土文化是其办公空间设计的重要核心。而项目所在地苏州，作为江南文化最具代表性的城市之一，正吸引着越来越多的科技企业进驻。高新技术的创新活力与深厚的历史文化底蕴同在这座城市共鸣，也对办公环境提出了“科技与文化并重”的全新命题。在这一背景下，“人”是连接科技与文化的关键角色——既是高科技的创造者与传播者，也是传统文化的继承者与延续者。因此，设计的目标不仅是打造高效的办公场所，更是为卓越人才营造一个多元、开放、包容的工作环境，让科技与人文自然融合、相互赋能。当熟悉的文化意象融入空间之中，员工的归属感、文化认同感与创造力随之焕发，这也精准诠释了企业所倡导的创新精神与多样包容的发展愿景。

该全球科技企业苏州二期已凭借其独特的文化氛围吸引众多科技人才，并成为科技办公空间设计的新标杆。这里不仅融汇深厚的在地文化元素，同时通过动静分区、灵活多元的办公布局、关注员工身心健康的配套设施、以及对绿色环保材料的严选，构建了一个激发创新与包容的理想环境。 这一空间所呈现的，不止是设计层面的突破，更是企业对人才发展愿景与社会责任的切实践行。它再一次证明了企业对员工成长与可持续未来的承诺，并为迈向下一阶段的发展注入坚实动力。
