Polestar Begins Construction of New Headquarters in Sweden
Polestar’s new home will be on the same campus as the main Volvo Cars head offices and factory in Torslanda, Sweden.
The company says the architectural design of its headquarters reflects what the brand stands for: pure and uncompromised. It will feature an open layout that serves as an inspiring and creative workplace for Polestar’s growing team. And being close to parent company Volvo will allow close cooperation, which is important for the brand.
The design for the interior and exterior of the minimalistic cube was completed by renowned Swedish architects, Bornstein & Lyckefors, working closely with Polestar. The new head office building will consist of three levels and offers nearly 41,000 square feet (3,800 square meters) of office space and development area for up to 200 employees. There will also be an exhibition and display areas for a number of cars.

”The new Polestar headquarters will be the heart and home of our growing team,” said Thomas Ingenlath, CEO 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.”
