Powersoft reveals plans for new Human Audio Experience Center

Powersoft has announced plans for a new headquarter, the Powersoft Human Audio Experience Center. The recent signing of a preliminary lease agreement with Bluesky Immobiliare S.r.l., which will own the property, sets the stage for a plan aimed at bolstering Powersoft’s path of growth and innovation.

Located in an area of Scandicci, Florence, undergoing urban redevelopment, the Powersoft Human Audio Experience Center is designed by Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia, an architectural firm with offices in Genoa, Milan and Paris. The new headquarters, covering more than 9,200 sqm across four floors, is purpose built to accommodate a projected increase in the size of the company’s workforce, as outlined in its development plan for the coming years. By centralising all corporate functions, it is designed to enhance departmental potential, improve cross-team collaboration, and deliver operational cost savings while boosting energy efficiency.

The Powersoft Human Audio Experience Center is designed to stand as a model of innovation and sustainability. The building’s exterior profile, resembling the form of a sound wave, pays homage to the company’s core business and underscores Powersoft’s standing as a technological pioneer in the audio industry. The use of photovoltaic panels and energy efficient technologies underscores the company’s commitment to minimising its environmental footprint, while the LEED-certified building exemplifies how design and architecture can seamlessly integrate with the surrounding green space, featuring accessible areas for interaction, socialising, and organising events, including those for the local community.

Powersoft’s new HQ will be based on three core values: Human, Audio, Experience. The philosophy revolves around placing people, technology and experimentation at the core of the plan, with spaces designed to cater to the diverse needs of employees, clients, consultants and guests, as well as students and the local community.

In addition to areas intended to foster innovation and technological excellence through research laboratories, spaces for quality testing, measurement and product demonstration, the Powersoft Human Audio Experience Center will boast green areas, meeting rooms, fitness areas, a canteen, meeting rooms and coffee corners. The new building will serve as a multifaceted hub, featuring spaces for events, demonstrations, and educational purposes, alongside exhibition areas dedicated to showcasing the history and evolution of audio technologies.

Construction is anticipated to conclude in the latter part of 2026, after which production lines and all company departments will relocate from the existing premises to the new HQ.
