*티비 로비 인테리어 [ AT26 architects as Architects ] TB Lobby
The original design of the entrance lobby of Tatra banka, which carried some characteristics of the last decade of the 20th century, no longer conformed to the requirements for a good flow of employees. Therefore the assignment said to simplify, streamline and modernize the space in a way that will also represent the progress in the brand identity itself.
Initially, after in-depth analysis, we decided to open up the space by removing all of the original partitions. Although this solution brightened up the lobby, the layout seemed a little incoherent and in need of some unifying principle. This principle should bring tranquility to the chaotic space as well as a strong aesthetic and representative effect.
Based on the limits and requirements we placed an imaginary cylinder in the center of the layout to anchor the space of reception and bring a sense of unity and softness to the space. This element is emphasized by a copper ring inserted into the cast floor and its counterpole cutout in the ceiling. A partially perforated ceiling enables the distribution of fresh air from the air-conditioning system. An interesting component of the suspended ceiling panels consists of wooden prisms representing a simplified logo of the bank. The cylindrical central space is enhanced by the curved design of the reception desk.
