Bank Branch in Bientina

Placed in the middle of the town, the bank is entirely

developed on the groung floor and it measures about

320 square meters. It tries to fix all the surrounding

bugs deriving from the needs of reunion of different

building units. On a side the project touches pieces of

building which are developed on more levels, on the

other one it refers to the complex of courts, still inside

the existing buildings, which have been progressively

covered with roof.

The renovation plan referred to the general healthcare

of buildings, which needed maintenance works.

We put special care in the interior lighting design, as

we meant to maximize the natural sunlight; so we

designed a lot of roof-windows on the new top floor.

Each one of them is painted in strong colour and it

reflects different chromatic rays, overlapping on the

white boisserie wall, so the mood changes as well as

the natural light turns during the day.
