INTERVIEW WITH MIKAEL ADLER, MAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS
MAN Energy Solutions has been leading the way in advanced engineering for more than 260 years with a unique portfolio of technologies. MAN Energy Solutions enables its customers to achieve sustainable value creation in the transition towards a carbon-neutral future. When the company decided to create a new office including a training center (‘MAN PrimeServ Academy’) to better reflect the special needs, mission and vision of the company, VIRTUARCH was the first choice. We talked with Mikael Adler about his view on the design project.
How did you get in contact with VIRTUARCH?
Mikael Adler: Actually, our previous CEO knew VIRTUARCH and was convinced of their quality in designing and managing projects like ours. So, we had a first talk. For this project we invited three architecture companies to give us their thoughts on how they understand us as a company and how they would approach our task.
Why did you decide to do the project with VIRTUARCH?
Mikael Adler: VIRTUARCH was the best match. We felt, they understood what we needed. We sent them our rules and guidelines. We needed new office space on the 7th and 8th floor and for our academy a training center plus exhibition hall on the first floor. We already had a good feeling from our initial talks. The ideas they presented just confirmed our first impression.
