The Trucchi Levaldigi Palace, dating from the XVII century, is the general headquarters of the BNL bank in Turin and is one of the most symbolic buildings of the city.
The restoration and office architecture project enhances the historic building, combining respect for heritage with functional innovation.
The “Portone del Diavolo”, an artistically significant element, is incorporated into the project, together with improvements to the perception from inside the shop windows, the nighttime illumination of the façades, and visitor flow.
L’intervento, curato da interior designer e da un interior design studio, propone un ambiente di lavoro moderno, confortevole e più adatto agli strumenti contemporanei, in linea con i principi di interior design e interni e design.
The evolution of technology and the transformation of the way banks work lead to a reduction and optimization of space and this involves a substantial rethinking of the operational, waiting and meeting areas.
The redesign involved operational, waiting, and meeting areas, optimizing spaces in response to technological evolution and new banking operating models. The bespoke concept celebrates the Bank’s history and its connection with the city, enhancing natural light through large windows and skylights and creating bright, welcoming environments.
Il progetto di interior design riflette il legame con la tradizione industriale e automobilistica di Torino, attraverso materiali grezzi e robusti, pareti vetrate fluide, pannelli in acciaio e telai di finestre rifiniti con olio minerale naturale, unendo estetica e funzionalità tipiche di un intervento di architettura arte e patrimonio.
