The constant flow and exchange of ideas and knowledge is the hallmark of our team spirit. We are not only open to fresh prospects, different techniques and the wisdom of experience, we actively seek it out in each member of our team. Over the 30 years of our existence, Plan has grown from a small studio to become a well-established business that now includes other companies. Our expansion and success is due to the consistently high calibre of our staff. Finally, when Plan had grown to become a large architectural concern, additional 3 studio companies were set up to enhance flexibility. The Plan Associates Company Limited, Plan Studio Company Limited and Plan Architect Company Limited were both established in 1993. It was also in that year that they were given the collective name, the Plan Group : Architecture ; Plan Associates, Plan Studio, Plan Architect.

The original canteen and dormitory buildings by the architect Karel Prager are only the torso of an unfinished university campus on the banks of the Vltava River. The canteen itself was never fully used as intended. The 1980s building, built using a demanding lift-slab construction method with its deep central square disposition, had an indisputable architectural quality at the time of its construction. However, a radical change was necessary to accommodate new needs of the Faculty of Humanities.

As Akamai Technologies’ new global headquarters, 145 Broadway consolidates their workforce from across six disparate locations into a unified vertical campus. Creating connectivity within the building and neighborhood was a defining vision for the design.
As a major infill urban development, the design process for this approx. 482,000 gsf tower in Kendall Square was tailored to directly respond to opportunities created through deep collaboration with the design team and the City of Cambridge. This participatory design process resulted in a confident yet sensitive building that fits within the city scale, inspires employee engagement, and supports innovation.
MVRDV is revealing their design for the Lankuaikei Agriculture Development (LAD) Headquarters in Shanghai, an 11-storey terraced office building that brings together both high- and low-tech sustainability strategies under a swooping technological roof to create a showcase for the agriculture technology company. Located near the lake at the centre of Lingang New Town, the building is conceived as an agricultural oasis in a rapidly developing urban area in Shanghai, and one of China’s greenest, smartest sustainable buildings.
The project won the National Public Competition for the New Headquarters of Fecomércio, Sesc and Senac in Rio Grande do Sul

Man transforms the environment, interferes with nature in order to produce spaces that shelter their daily activities. In this process, he causes changes, builds objects, thinks about artifices inserted in the natural environment. This intervention suggests a reflection on the relationship between nature and artifice. Thus, it proposes buildings that are at the same time: artifact and landscape, coverage and relief, shelter and open area.
The development is located next to and comprises of the new station inaugurated in July 2019. The city’s new express train connections have cut travel times to its neighbours and the capital by nearly half, enthusing many to develop business with or relocate to Brittany’s epicentre.
Within this Game Of Urban Thrones, Samsic, the region’s success story employing 90000, has set to relocate its headquarters to the Blériot-Féval site and steer its development, in collaboration with the developers from Bati-Armor and Rennes Municipality’s agencies.
In an industrial lot, that due to its position in the articulation between an avenue and a structuring roundabout, is a corner of local relevance, it was implanted an industrial unit of fabrics production.
Given the relevance of the reading of the lot in relation to the roundabout, a building was created that enlarges it and that translates into the articulation between two fundamental and complementary structures. One is the large production nave, a parallelepiped of large dimensions, to which some much smaller ones are attached and host the production support services and employees. The other smaller one, which leans against it and hosts the administrative services spread over two floors, has a strong architectural expression, as if it were a reptile’s head. It is located at the East/South vertex of the Unit and facing the roundabout, it becomes the expressive face of the complex, its brand image.
Every entrepreneur dreams with the growth of his company, and generally this growth is accompanied by a series of changes in the company. New needs, new people, new organizational structures and, above all, the reach of maturity of the brand’s values and personality.
Moving to a new headquarters at this stage becomes a great opportunity to materialize the new phase of the business through architecture. ShopB, a games e-commerce founded in 2009 contacted us exactly at that moment.
