The site chosen for their fitout is the iconic 5 Martin Place, the original Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the first large steel skyscraper in Sydney. The building affectionately became known as the “money box building” in the 1920s. With it’s rich history, we felt compelled for the design to take it’s cues from its banking history which is illustrated through the palette of navy blue, deep green and burgundy with accents of brass and marble used throughout.

Built in nooks and phonebooths were custom designed to reflect the design concept. We took inspiration from old banking tellers and incorporated design elements relevant to design era such as curves and materials such as brass, velvet and rattan. Custom lighting was developed unique to the design concept and the hot desks on the main floor were custom designed, inspired by the old bank teller desks that can still be seen in the lobby.
