The functionality of Scotiabank Branch No. 1 in Mexico City is the focus of the interior design project that maintains an international standard, without forgetting the reality of the banking sector in Mexico thanks to a respectful reinterpretation of the corporate brand
USOarquitectura boasts years of experience in interior design projects for bank branches, which is primarily why they were called upon to design Scotiabank Branch No. 1 in Mexico City. The premises were spread over two levels with an irregular floor plan, so the study of flows and zoning of functions proved crucial for the success of the project
A play of different heights, created by emphasizing the beams, allowed to overcome the low ceilings of the lower floor; the study of integrated lighting in the false ceilings was very thorough: the use of different light temperatures created a very welcoming space. Even the air conditioning system required a particular study, given the conformation of the false ceilings, and was resolved effectively and discreetly
As requested by the Canadian client, the color palette, materials, and furnishings take into consideration the corporate brand to maintain an international tone, but the architects were also free to create their Mexican reinterpretation. They have therefore selected a wide and rich contrasting color palette and for the ceilings they have chosen subtle tone differences that create dynamism
