作为法国大使馆的旧址，Linden Palais拥有绝佳的视野，能够俯瞰柏林的城市景观，共七层近5000平方米的办公场所——顶层扩建部分后来由David Chipperfield建筑事务所设计。该空间拥有优雅而轻松的氛围，可以以一杯由当地咖啡师手磨的咖啡来开始非正式会议，或者交流。
The former home of the French Embassy, Linden Palais offers a stunning view of the Berlin cityscape, comprising seven floors of nearly 5,000 square metres of office space -- the top floor extension was later designed by David Chipperfield Architects. The space has an elegant and relaxed atmosphere, so start an informal meeting with a cup of coffee hand-ground by a local barista, or mingle.
临近街道层的入口朝向室外的林荫道，空间之中巧妙地的引入了人行道上种植的菩提树的颜色，使之与场地产生一定的关系。同时，为了加强这种联系，地面的灰色瓷砖用材与外面的人行道铺贴相似，从而令街道自然地流向了内部空间，实现室内外的衔接。
The entrance of the adjacent street level faces the outdoor avenue. The color of the linden tree planted on the sidewalk is cleverly introduced into the space, making it have a certain relationship with the site. At the same time, in order to strengthen this connection, the grey tiles on the floor are similar to the pavement on the outside, so that the street flows naturally into the interior space, achieving the connection between inside and outside.
现有的建筑有许多原始的、令人印象深刻的结构被保留，它与历史悠久的菩提树有着密切的关联，也是Norm Architects的主要灵感来源。设计师们确切的知道，要以怎样一种适合当代的方式来突出这种内在精神要旨。
The existing building, which has many of the original and impressive structures preserved, has a close association with the historic Linden tree and was a major inspiration for Norm Architects. Designers know exactly how to accentuate this inner spiritual message in a way that is appropriate for the present.
室内色彩的灵感来自于原始入口天花板的颜色——金属、木材和石材所呈现的重色，工作室采用更微妙的颜色来演绎它们，以保持外观的整体性和简约感。每一种颜色都作为每一层室内的基础和基调，同时也具有一定的导向功能。
The interior colours were inspired by the colours of the original entrance ceiling -- a heavy palette of metal, wood and stone -- which the studio interpreted in more subtle colours to maintain a sense of integrity and simplicity. Each color serves as the base and tone of each floor interior, as well as a certain guiding function.
