选择一个合适的办公室是很多创业公司成立初期的第一个挑战。通常一个小型创业公司所需要的办公空间是不固定的，它会随着人员的大规模调整而变化。如果一步到位选择租个大的办公空间，所面临的场地租金对于一个初创企业是一笔非常巨大的负担；如果选择租个小的办公空间，又会面临公司扩张而员工无处办公的窘境，甚至场地内还会缺乏如会议室、接待室等应有的功能空间。究竟创业者该寻找怎样的办公空间？
Choosing a suitable office is the first challenge that many entrepreneurial firms may come up with. Usually a micro entrepreneurial firm needs flexible space to accommodate uncertain staff. On one hand, renting a large office space in one step will tremendously add the newly established firms’ financial burden; On the other hand, if the company rents a relatively small office space, it may turn out to be too crowed when the company grows. What’s worse, there may be no space for meeting room, reception room and some other programs. What exactly should the entrepreneurs do to find their office ?
Underline是零壹城市建筑设计事务所(LYCS Architecture)设计并投资的一家具有多重功能的咖啡厅，项目位于杭州市中心的东部软件园内，园区内外汇集了大量的创业公司，周边租金不菲却几乎没有适合洽谈的场所。为了满足这些公司对于办公、会议和交流的需求，Underline通过空间的自由组合，可瞬间将单一功能的咖啡厅变身为Cafe+会议室或Cafe+办公室。
Underline is a multi-functional cafe which is designed and invested by LYCS Architecture. The project is located in the Eastern Software Park where lies in the center of Hangzhou. Although surrounded by highly-rent office buildings, there is no public space for communication or meeting in this area. To meet the companies’ needs of working, meeting and communicating, Underline could be changed immediately from a single-function cafe into a cafe + meeting room or cafe + office room through free combinations of its interior spaces .
为了使咖啡厅拥有更好的办公氛围，项目摒弃了传统咖啡厅花哨的设计，采用了简洁现代的设计手法。咖啡厅外墙采用了全玻璃幕墙与棋盘般的黑色窗框设计，幕墙上方的混凝土墙面安置了“underline”字样的LED logo，简明的设计使项目和谐的融入于周围环境中。
Instead of over-decorated design, the designers created a peaceful atmosphere for the cafe in a modern and concise way. The facade of the cafe is made of all-glass windows with chessboard-like black frames. The concrete walls above the facade are set with the LED logo of ‘underline’. The design is quite simple but ingeniously fits into the surrounding environment.
为了让外立面显得更加活跃，设计师在幕墙两旁的黑色墙面上设计了轻松的墙画，将咖啡厅的功能通过幽默的方式进行直观的表达。
In order to bring out a vivid effect, the designers decorated the large-scale black wall with relaxing and humorous painting.

室内空间干净简单，横平竖直的木板与金属板组成的书柜将墙面进行整齐划分。木质桌子配以灰白色的沙发，兼顾舒适与实用的功能。
The inner space is clean and tidy. Rows of Bookcases on the wall are made of wooden boards and metal sheets. Wooden tables with gray sofas are both comfortable and user-friendly.

用餐区域中心放置着高低错落的椅子，在温馨的环境内加入了些许活泼的元素。书架上的书全部反向放置，不但形成视觉上的统一，更是会给读者选书时带来了一些意外的惊喜。
Elegant and different-height chairs in the middle of the dinning area bring lively elements into this friendly place. All the books on the shelves are put away backward. This setting brings orderliness to inner space, provides the customers surprises when they pick up one book as well.
黑色的吧台在整体浅色调的空间中特别突出，并与用餐区域形成鲜明的对比。
Within the entirely bright-colored space, the black bar counter appears very outstanding in stark contrast with the dinning space.

自由移动的隔板带来了空间设计上的变革。通过隔板的不同组合排列，整个大空间轻易地被分割成为四个小空间，而小空间之间也可以自由组合，从而满足于不同功能的需求。
Freely moving clapboards provide more possibilities for the space. With different combinations of clapboards, the whole big space is easily divided into four small spaces. At the same time, free combination of four small spaces also meet different functional requirements.
用户可以通过隔板的分隔，在几分钟内就将咖啡厅变身为一个办公室、会议室或教室。隔板不但能用来分隔空间，它本身也是给使用者施展创意的工具。用户可以随意的在隔板上涂写，甚至可以用它作为上课或头脑风暴时的黑板。
Users can change the cafe into a classroom, an office room or a meeting room in one minute. Besides of space division, the clapboards can also turn into tools for creativity. People can write and draw on the clapboards, or use them as blackboards for lessons or brainstorming.
咖啡厅正式开业后，除了承担了基础的办公与会议等功能外，Underline更是利用其自身灵活的空间变化，演化出了丰富多样的使用功能，其中包括企业路演、电影放映、豪华晚宴、商业派对等等活动，并且新的功能一直在被使用者陆续发现中。在这里，用户只需付出相对较少的费用，便可量身打造出属于自己的独享空间。
In spite of common usage for office, Underline can house various activities with its freely changeable inner space. These activities include road shows, movie screening, banquet commercial party,etc. Besides, more ways of its space usage are going to be found out by the users. Thus, in Underline, users can costomized design thier exculsive space in a relative lower cost.
