MUFG Nagoya - Contemporary and Modern Banking Office
August 20, 2008 By: Momoy Category: Design Gallery, Architecture
MUFG building in Nagoya, it’s a new type of banking office, designed by NMDA architects. It using dark color, black and gray that refers to elegant, simple aspect of Japanese aesthetics, and reminds one of seriousness and stability, something that should be projected from a bank. I like the lounge that use orange seating and the ceiling light perfectly arranged so it like a futuristic space in the science fiction films.
“we have had the ambition to give a new feeling to the experience of private banking. Here, the environment must be accessible and friendly, yet have a special sense of contemporary design. The two most important features to our design are first, the smooth surfaces that shape the ceiling and walls into a continuous, flowing world, and second, the contrasting materials of white plaster and two types of wood veneers. The subtle curvatures and angles of the surfaces are specially designed to help the space become embracing, while the colors and materials combine to give a fresh, warm overall feeling to the space”
This is an awesome interior and exterior design portfolio, when my country had a bank like this.
