The HeidelbergCement AG headquarters provide space for 1,000 staff. AS+P consistently pursued the client’s claim of “Concrete Excellence”: With curved façade elements, tree-like struts in the foyer, and the casino ceiling, the building shows the diverse potential of concrete as a material with a sustainability concept based on the Platinum Standard.

The design for the new building of the corporate headquarters is based on the architectural approach of the existing buildings and interprets them in a new, modern form. The new building interacts closely with the green space and offers spectacular views of Heidelberg from its unobstructed vantage point right at the beginning of the Berliner Strasse. The head building forms a sovereign prelude to the development of the adjoining quarter on the northern bank of the Neckar.
