REFERENCE REPORT

AXA Head Office Cologne

ANKER Referenz AXA Hauptverwaltung

You will look in vain for high-rises and concrete buildings here.

The AXA headquarters in Cologne-Holweide is more reminiscent of a small residential area. With lots of greenery around it, ponds and lovingly designed watercourses.

A real place to feel good for a motivating everyday working life for the AXA staff.

Both in terms of the exterior and the interior of the buildings spread across the campus – also thanks to AERA BIGLOOP by ANKER, which contributes to an upscale as well as pleasantly homely ambience with its high-quality appearance.

Around 4,500 employees work at AXA Germany’s headquarters in the Holweide district of Cologne on the right bank of the Rhine. This is an impressive number that roughly corresponds to the popula­tion of a small town. And that’s how it looks on the insurance group’s premises. You won’t find soulless high-rises and cold-looking concrete buildings here.

What has been created there is rather a world of its own – building units of various sizes with up to 8,000 m2 scattered over the entire campus. In between, there are lovingly landscaped grounds with small lakes and ponds, as well as canal - like river courses that invite you to take a deep breath and pause for a moment.
