Che Banca! What a Bank, Literally!

Banks are not actually known for their warmth and affection. Moreover, banks are not even designed to evoke such emotions in clients and the moment people hear about a bank, they are either reminded of a pending loan or the low rate of interest that banks provide for fixed deposits these days. CREA International have designed an awesome bank design called Che Banca! which brings warmth, science, play and fun to the environs of an Italia bank in the middle of a renaissance town.

The bank is built on the idea of solar system with the client being the centre of this system. Just like the sun provides natural light and warmth, the bank provides the same light and warmth and attracts people inside it and when they do enter, the design makes sure people can feel at ease and not worry too much about financial insecurities however grave they might be.

The design is starkly minimalist and simple, and encourages transparency among employees, the bank and the customers. The workstations are designed like cabins and the employees can feel at ease too, when working. A look at the pictures of Che Banca! reveals the unique aesthetic feel that one senses after taking a glance at the pretty bank. Kudos to the guys at CREA International!
