Bank with stage in Livorno

The bank is located at the ground floor of a building of the 60s which is placed in the historic centre of the town, near the Synagogue. There was a time when this place lodged a little “alternative” theatre, with a real stage and some backstage rooms still remaining in traces. The pre-existent has been the inspiration for the project of this new bank branch.

The interior space, quite articulated in the elevation, is divided in several operation areas: in the most open one, at 0,00 quota, there are the cash desks and the directional offices, the caveaux and the services. Here are also located three colorful offices, more reserved, and with those colours the entire space, which is white and grey, is contaminated with a chromatic explosion that also invades closet’s handles springing happiness everywhere.

At +1,20 quota is sited the meeting room entirely covered with teak wood, this one overlooks the salon, like a stage that is possible to be darkened at the occasion with a curtain. At the same quota the stair continues to the balcony/archive at +2,70 quota; from here we can have a look to the entire branch, where the clients became the actors of the scene.
