PrivatBank — branch

The customer came with a ready-made layout. It was technologically correct, took into account all the peculiarities of the processes taking place in the department, but did not imply an extensive client area. Since the customer did not limit us in creative searches and was open to suggestions, we developed an alternative layout. By combining the manager’s area with the waiting area, ZIKZAK Architects managed to double the area of ​​the client area and create a fairly large space in which to spend time pleasantly. All other rooms were placed, in a recess, along the outer walls, which made it possible to give the central space the most correct form and representative appearance.

The meeting rooms are located behind all-glass partitions with curtains that allow you to separate the room not only visually, but also acoustically: dense fabric absorbs sound and enhances the sound-insulating properties of the partition. In the interior of the bank, we used luxurious burgundy color inserts against a strict monochrome background. Although the color is not corporate, the client agreed to use it in order to emphasize the high status of the premises. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the complete absence of corporate green that is familiar to everyone. It was not an easy decision, but it also takes the department out of the ordinary and emphasizes its newest format.

The customer turned out to be ready for radical transformations, which made it possible to rethink the logo above the waiting area. We made the image more concise, using a modern thin font and metallized surfaces.

The lighting solution was equally important for us. We compensated for the lack of natural lighting with a structure of vertical and horizontal light tubes collected in several cloud groups. As a result, the ZIKZAK Architects managed to achieve a comfortable level of warm lighting.
