Architecture+DesignSummary: At the beginning of 2016 the architects won an architectural competition to design a new look of the office branches of one of the largest banks in Bulgaria. The studio 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.
The pilot design of a centrally located bank office was completed and opened for customers at the beginning of 2017.
Looking for a different perception of the environment, typical of a bank branch, the designer moved the functional units from their common location in the centre of the office to its periphery to make room for a spacious and open common area. The function of the separate units defines 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 strip evolves into the third dimension and forms concave spaces with diverse height and depth. The usage of the different areas defines two types of panels’ finishing– solid, when used for built-in devices and upholstered, when used for sitting.
