HENN-Covestro Headquarters
코베스트로 본사는 단일 Z자형 유닛이 건물의 정면에 일련의 오목한 정원 테라스를 만들기 위해 쌓이고 미러링 된다. 건물의 각진 외부와 중앙 아트리움은 건물의 중심부에 외향적인 "핀치 포인트"를 만든다. 아트리움의 계단식 공간은 이벤트 및 모임을 위한 비공식적인 타운홀 역할을 하는 반면, 개방형 사무실 좌석, 유연한 작업 공간 및 개인실은 아트리움 주변의 공용 공간에서 주변부의 개인 공간까지 그라데이션을 따라 구성된다.
The new Covestro Headquarters reflects the company’s ethos of radical experimentation and innovation. A high-tech polymer company, Covestro creates materials used in every aspect of modern life, from green energy to healthcare to electronics to its own building interior. HENN’s design functions as an accelerator: a space to inspire and support the future-oriented solutions of the company as it addresses issues of sustainability and moves towards a circular economy.
The six-story Covestro Headquarters, completed in November of 2020, is a bold announcement of the company’s presence along the B8 motorway. Its sleek form is the result of highly efficient modular construction—a single Z-shaped unit is stacked and mirrored to create a series of recessed garden terraces on the building’s facade.
The same formal logic shapes the HQ’s rich interior life. The building’s angled exterior and central atrium create an extroverted “pinch point” at the heart of the building. The atrium’s cascading stairways and terraced spaces act as an informal town hall for events and gatherings, while open-office seating, flexible work areas, and private rooms are organized along a gradient from communal around the atrium to solitary at the periphery.
Innovation requires a combination of highly functional technical spaces and informal social spaces. Designed as a space of encounter, The new Covestro Headquarters maximizes the visual and physical connections between spaces, departments, and people—engineering the serendipitous meetings that lead to unexpected and innovative solutions.
The headquarters is part of the HENN-designed Covestro Campus, which will be completed in 20xx. The campus will link research, development, and administration into a single coherent entity and will include a hybrid office-laboratory building and a technical center/pilot plant, alongside the new headquarters.
