Orchard Gateway, Singapore
Retail Bank, 357.3 Sqm
OCBC Bank sought to create a new banking experience for premier customers in Singapore’s bustling lifestyle district. The flagship branch needed to balance openness, allowing passersby to glimpse the space, at the same time providing privacy and exclusivity for banking transactions.
We developed a singular sculptural element to mediate this tension: tall granite walls positioned before large framed windows, paired with custom privacy sofas. This design invites visual connection from outside while maintaining discretion inside. The granite walls extend into teller rooms, the lift lobby, and a corridor leading to meeting rooms, creating a cohesive material and color language that guides circulation and reinforces the space’s gallery-like atmosphere.
