Bank Branch in Pontedera

The bank is placed inside the historical centre of the

town, it occupies the ground floor and the first floor

of a building which had been erected in nineteenth

century; it is developed on a total surface of 600 sm.

The building was still occupied by another bank and

it is opened on the internal bamboo garden, like in

Japan. We worked only on architectural elements

and existing walls changing contents and global

image of the interior. The “travertino” stone has been

partly demolished and partly painted in white. The

stair has been encapsulated in a green plasterboard

husk; only the steps were kept. Any colours is part of

a green table which derives from the bamboo garden,

each one has been used in strategic way on the

stair, windows and lighting box. The furnishings are

all treated with warm colours and materials. Various

wooden essences and some Abet laminates (Fiber)

are repeated in the interior design.
