Our mission

The project involved the renovation of the WTO headquarters and the installation of a large hall with all the necessary service facilities such as a café, bank, restaurant, meeting rooms, etc. The project had to be carried out without interrupting the use of the building, while handing over the premises to the WTO as soon as possible and maintaining a functional building. The old load-bearing building structure was used as a base for the construction of the new roof. The interior spaces had to be planned and realized until the final use.

In order to ensure that the renovation of the building could be carried out smoothly, the WTO engaged pom+ as the client's representative.
