Skandiabanken – Stockholm Branch Facelift

Skandiabanken, a Swedish bank, gave its Stockholm branch a makeover, courtesy of BVD Design & Branding. It’s a dynamic space with a layout more common in the retail area and rarely seen in the financial sector. The inspiration for the concept was a green house, a place where plants grow and are nurtured.

The branch is multifunctional and set up to be used for different types of meetings. Upstairs there’s a big room for workshops and creative meetings, the light and airy environment can easily be transferred to a lecture hall. There is a “mini meeting place” where children can have fun while their parents are helped by Skandia’s advisers.
