Keeping the right balance The building industry today offers an unprecedented choice of aesthetic, technical, organisational and logistical solutions. But increased options also mean a greater risk of making the wrong choices - which can have lasting consequences in the building industry. Environmental compatibility and sustainability are not only ecological categories - they can also be defined in aesthetic terms. This understanding is diametrally opposed to building methods which attach no importance to formal design aspects or are aimed solely at achieving short-term economic effects. Sto's deep-rooted commitment to quality buildings is manifested in the company's own buildings, whose ambitious overall design is not limited to the head office location. The buildings of the international sales organisation also demonstrate that industrial architecture is able to integrate the many facets of good building practice: Striking building forms, integration into the environment, a room and space concept geared to the needs of people and work, high-quality materials, high functionality, efficient planning and execution.
