Text description by
The new Chengdu headquarter for the electric performance car producer Polestar combines world-class production facilities with touchpoints for both customers and visitors. The bright and spacious production facility is open to everyone, and the building provides great outdoor spaces, while allowing generous amounts of daylight to enter the space.
With its curved exterior, the building gives associations to the movement and dynamics of the car industry and car racing, while also tying the landscape and the building together. Central to the building is a glazed atrium that visually ties the different spaces together, acting as a shared courtyard with the aim of connecting all employees under one roof.

About
Snøhetta:
Snøhetta is a transdisciplinary, dialogue-driven practice including architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, art, product design, graphic and digital design, often integrating a combination of interests across our projects. We share our name with a beautiful, remote, and historically important mountain in central Norway. Snøhetta is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in our work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach. Snøhetta first significant commission was in 1989 for Bibliotheca Alexandrina, reviving the ancient library in Alexandria, Egypt. This was followed by commissions for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City. Since those early projects, many other internationally acclaimed works have been realized around the globe. source: snohetta.com
