Expansion of DEVK headquarters in Cologne

JSWD design for new building to be implemented

In summer 2024, our design impressed the jury, among other things, thanks to its clever use of available space and successful integration into the urban landscape. Now DEVK is preparing to move forward. First, however, the city needs to create a project-based plan B. “We hope to have a legally binding development plan in place by 2027,” said DEVK Chairman Bernd Zens at the press release on February 18th. Construction is scheduled to start in 2029.

In our concept, two structures with nearly identical footprints but different heights are positioned on a shared base in a way that creates a coherent urban concept. The ensemble opens towards the city center with a central courtyard. Together with the renovation of the existing building currently underway, the project will create a holistic corporate campus.
