Office floors rebuilt around focus rooms, project areas and alcoves, on the same Zuffenhausen site where every 911 still comes off one production line.
The offices, the canteens and the benefits first, then 95 years of moves from a city-centre engineering office to a 600,000 m² site — and only then the money. Every fact from Porsche's own report, newsroom, careers site and architects.

THE HEADQUARTERS · STUTTGART-ZUFFENHAUSEN
Offices built around how teams work — next to the 911 line
Porsche is rolling out one office concept across all its buildings and sites: activity-based floors with focus rooms, project areas and alcoves, common rooms for exchange, and seating niches along the passageways. Porsche says the goal is to keep its “garage feeling” and make the brand's culture visible in the office design. Around the offices sit the plants where the 911, the 718 and the Taycan are built, and the Porsche Museum on Porscheplatz.
- Site: 600,000+ m² (≈ 6.46M sq ft)
- Focus rooms, project areas, alcoves
- Plant 4: DGNB Platinum industrial quarter
- Museum: Delugan Meissl (2009)
- Plant 2: Rolf Gutbrod (1952)
