Canyon recently unveiled its new headquarters in Koblenz, a city located in western Germany, at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The new "home" of the German brand presents itself to the visitor as an extremely innovative building, clean and modern. Innovation, clean lines, and modernity have always been some of the elements that characterize all Canyon products.
You can breathe cycling
Entering the new headquarters of Canyon the visitor immediately has the sensation of being in an environment that lives and breathes cycling. This is evidenced by the bicycles and shirts on display in the atrium which recall the history and sporting successes of the brand..
The building houses modern offices with 300 fully equipped workstations, open-plan areas, and meeting rooms. These are places designed to encourage creative collaboration and the exchange of ideas among company employees.In the Innovation Lab, product developers and engineers work on the latest technical inventions. It's not a closed space, however, but rather open to ideas from every single person at Canyon.
Sustainability goal
During the construction phase, efforts were made to ensure that the new headquarters would achieve environmental sustainability. To do it Canyon has relied on the latest energy and climate standards. The heating system is equipped with air/heat pumps that draw heat from the outside environment with the support of a photovoltaic system and release it into the building. Three large ventilation systems ensure heat exchange and recoveryThe new headquarters also uses electricity obtained 100% from renewable sources.
Staff well-being
The quality of a company's work also depends on the well-being of the people who work within it. Every space has been designed for this starting from the large and modern bistro reserved for the staffHere, organic, regional products are used in the kitchen. Vegetarians and vegans can also enjoy lunch at a discounted price. The bistro itself is designed as a meeting place where employees can exchange ideas while enjoying a relaxing coffee.
