Pohl’s headquarter is their flagship. It combines the practical demands of administrative operations with the need for self-representation. The expression is influenced by its location in a suburban industrial area, the company’s traditions and underground construction. The large plot is permeable from the ground floor. The floors above combine large and cellular offices. The strip windows, concrete skeleton and modular partition system allow for a flexible floor plan. The management use the top floor with terrace. A spiral staircase connect the entire building.

The Headquarter deliberately takes over some industrial elements from the underground buildings. Corrugated corten sheets covers the facade, referring to the sheet piling and armoring of the collectors. Even the rounded cores and facade cladding remind technological equipment. A technology inspire the internal installations, they are sparingly woven together, literally like in a steamer. A selection of new vegetation support the industrial character.
