The interior design project for the NKBM Bank branch utilises a territorializing system that was developed as a set of basic functional elements. They regulate the spatial ratio between customer and employee areas and provide private spaces for banking discussion.The conventional vertical screen mutated into a deformed glass shell of a complex geometry in order to provide optimal spatial ergonomics in a limited amount of space. Using a computer modeling algorithm, the geometry was triangulated in order to simplify production. Glass triangles are locally assembled with steel clips, which enable angle adjustments for individual fixation. Glass shells are a self-supporting system that doesn't require additional structure.Variable opacity is provided with a geometrical print of three different densities on the inside of the shell; organic patterns on the exterior visually unify the screen set....
