The general corporate office space was designed using the open plan theory of space planning and creating architectural corridors connecting the various spaces and functions of the bank. The corridor design was an important architectural feature since the building has an unusually long rectangular geometry, and a one meter wide shear wall ran along the entire length of the space. The bank's patronage of the arts, was emphasized by creating gallery walls and display niches for the purpose of displaying the rich history of Russian Art. |
