The bank purchased a corner lot in a well exposed commercial area between the airport district and the CBD.

​

The lot allows for a small mix use commercial development where a supermarket, a residential apartment building and a bank branch were to be placed.

​

Additionally, the development had to be arranged in stages so the parcel could yield returns immediately and without interruption.

​

Our proposal was based on providing a welcoming icon for travellers and locals who inevitably had to pass in front of the building in every trip to and from the airport.

​

The idea, a bare concrete and glass box transparency and solidity, now critical to the public after 2017 Cyclone Pam which left Port Vila reduced ruble.

​

The commercial and residential components were allocated behind the plane of the bank which would have a triple height space to ad solemnity and elegance to the headquarters.
