We won an architectural competition to design the new look of the branches of one of the largest banks in Bulgaria. We developed a detailed concept of contemporary outlook and new customer service environment that formed the basis for the renovation of the bank’s branch network. We realized the pilot design on the 1st of March 2017.
Looking for a different perception of the environment, typical of a bank branch, we used the functionality of the separate units to define the dynamics of the surrounding walls, bringing the interior to life and integrating aesthetics and usability.
Both long sides of the surrounding walls are covered with white vertical louvers, intersected by a dynamic green strip. The vertical louvers and the variously oriented textile panels of the green strip contribute to the good acoustics.
Consultants' desks are designed as blocks, shaped by stainless steel panels, styled as the dynamic green strip, which makes them look like they are extracted from it.
The video consulting module is also designed as a block of inox panels, which revolves around a vertical axis to be suitable even for disabled people.
The simple and definitive design of the completed bank office contrasts the ornate and multicolor surrounding of the shopping mall. The balanced use of materials and textures, the unified modeling language and the stark geometrical and color accent define a distinct, notable, and contemporary space.
