Polestar
has started construction of a new headquarter building located in Torslanda,
Sweden, on the same campus as the main Volvo Cars head offices and factory.
”The new
Polestar headquarters will be the heart and home of our growing team,” said
Thomas Ingenlath, Chief Executive Officer of Polestar. “It is an architectural
translation of what our brand stands for – it is pure and
uncompromised. The open layout will serve as an inspiring and creative
workspace for our rapidly-developing team of skilled co-workers. Moving to the
Volvo Cars’ campus in Torslanda, in close proximity to our parent company, is
also a key part of our close cooperation with them.”
The design
of the interior and exterior has been completed by the renowned Swedish
architects, Bornstein & Lyckefors, in close co-operation with Polestar.
“We have
created an uncompromising and minimalistic ‘cube’ as the main feature of the
building that, with its technical solutions and details, creates a clear link
between architecture and modern product design,” said Per Bornstein of Bornstein & Lyckefors. “One
of its unique design features is a white facade made entirely in glass that
lets around 60% of the light through, a first in Sweden and a challenge both in
terms of design and engineering, but completely in line with Polestar’s
progressive approach.”
The new
Polestar head office building consists of three levels and offers 3,800 square
meters of office space and development area for up to 200 employees, up from
110 Polestar employees today in Sweden, as well as exhibition and display areas
for a number of cars.
Construction of the new headquarters will be
completed in September 2018.
