Chebanca! (that must be Italian for “wow”)
October 15, 2008 | Subscribe Free
This branch design for Italian bank Chebanca! is about as radical a departure as you can get from the hallowed walnut-and-mahogany themes of yesteryear. Ultra-clean, über-contemporary, high-tech and super-light merchandising.
The bank has a special link off the homepage of their website. The bank says, “Che Filiali! La rete territoriale di CheBanca! si compone sia di filiali nel centro delle più importanti città sia di presidi nei centri commerciali.” Even though it’s in Italian, you just know it says something like, “Check out this killer branch design! It rocks tough!”
The project is the work of Crea International, who has a 3-D video fly-through of the branch model at their website.

That place is awesome! I love the design of the branch…though I keep expecting to see a HAL’s creepy red eye somewhere in those photos.
It reminds me of Luke Skywalker’s home on Tatooine. “I’ll be right there Uncle Owen!” …”I need to know the location of the Rebel base!”… “Use the Force Luke” … PEW, PEW! “You’re all clear kid!”
Jeffry–so happy you left that comment. Was already on Tatooine when I was scrolling down to your response. Appreciated the Italian translation. Italian Twitter friend just confirmed Chebanca means–What a bank! Indeed.
