PROBAT BAU HEADQUARTERS

The futuristic line

2014
headquarters

Probat Bau AG, a construction company specialising in dry construction, is located in the south-east of Ingolstadt. The property is in a prominent location opposite the football stadium.

This offered the opportunity to create an architectural showpiece for the company and its services through identity-forming design. Like a futuristic construction, the sculptural building stands out from its surroundings. Diagonal lines create a dynamic interplay and a zigzag starting from the ground describes the outer shell of the building.

The latter opens to the south-east with a glass facade that allows light to penetrate every corner of the building and provides insights into the company’s everyday operations. The single-storey warehouse is framed to the south and east by the two-storey administration building. The rectangular warehouse is kept in anthracite colours and contrasts with the light facade design of the polygonal administration space. Together, the two areas form a harmonious ensemble, however.

A large light-filled atrium welcomes visitors. White, custom-made furniture with flowing lines seems to float in the entrance area. From here, one enters the offices and the warehouse. A large staircase picks up the facade line and leads to the upper floor, where further offices and meeting rooms as well as lounge areas for the employees are located.
