Bevelled, matt-black sheet steel and red, high-gloss aluminium dominates the exterior cladding of the 'hallowed halls'. "The development of the building was largely centred on the notion of a 'factory'," says Marco Hippmann from the architectural firm Hippmann Hardegger in Stuttgart. As the project leader in Kempten Harald Seyband was responsible for the short construction period of only ten months. "The aim was to create a highly functional building with an exterior illustrating the fact that ABT is a high-tech company. This is emphasised by the red-and-black cladding that has been reduced to the essentials."

Inside, the employees find a little motorsport paradise: ample working areas, modern offices, in-house carbon and gearbox workshops, a wash hall, modern equipment, a spacious warehouse, plus a gym. The truck hall annex can accommodate five trailers which can be loaded und unloaded irrespective of weather conditions. Even the daily DTM pit stop practice can be performed in the hall.
