This renovation aimed to create a new, fresh and contemporary space for this bank branch in Zografou area in Athens, which would be mainly functional, based on the new needs of customers these days.

The layout changed radically, as the 2 different levels on the ground floor were separating the space into two smaller ones. Now, by integrating these 2 levels, we created a whole new, large space for the customers that feels more comfortable. The teller counters were moved to the back of the branch, so that the new digital area will have more space at the entrance and be more dominant, creating a large area for customer service, both personal and digital. A metal construction that forms the stair handrail creates also a background for the digital area that frames it and makes it more dominant.

The materials that are used in general - white metal, glass, wood, black details in furniture - help to create a contemporary yet intimate ambience for customers and employees alike.
