The family company POHL cz, a.s. is one of the most important Czech construction companies. Its new headquarters is conceived as the flagship of the company, combining the practical demands of administrative operations with the need for self-representation. The architecture of the building is influenced not only by its location in a suburban industrial area, but also by the company’s traditions and the construction sector in which it operates.

The vacant ground floor allows for permeability across the large site. The two floors above contain a mix of large and cellular offices. The strip windows, concrete frame and modular partition system here allow for a flexible floor plan. The top retreating floor with a continuous terrace is designed for management. The entire building is connected by a spiral staircase.
