POHA House Mission

For You and the Planet

The future of living starts here.

POHA House is a place where people come together, sleep, eat, connect, chase their dreams, repeat. Designed with purpose, built for community, and made to inspire.

How it started

2019

Changing the housing industry

POHA House was founded in Aachen by 3 family members with the belief that traditional housing needs to evolve. We saw how people were struggling with rigid housing options that didn’t meet their needs for flexibility, connection, and community.

2020

Crafting a dream team

We began building a team to bring our vision to life. What started with a small group of dreamers has grown into a passionate team of 30 talented individuals.

2021

From concept to creation

When we started designing our product, the goal was clear: to create spaces that seamlessly blend living, working, and connecting while prioritizing sustainability and comfort.

2022

First building is live!

POHA House Münster brought our concept to life. Münster set the stage for what POHA House is all about: creating spaces that feel like home while encouraging connections and personal growth.

2023

Bringing POHA House to Aachen

We launched three POHA Houses in Aachen - Cospaces to live, work and stay under one roof. And we are just getting started.

2025

We’re working hard to bring POHA House to more cities, build new communities, and create even more inspiring spaces. Stay tuned — big things are coming!
