A new affiliate branch of Credit Bank located in Fossane, Switzerland is a unique building thanks to a cascade of chains on the facade. The chains are 11km long and create a very dynamic, mobile and floating space, what is very unusual for a building of a bank, all the more it is situated at the foothill of the Maritime Alps. The building of the branch has an airiness and lightness that is more common in a different type of buildings, an exhibition centre for example. A traditional image of a bank has been quit. The building represents a new unedited image of an institution of this type: surprising and innovatory from the outside, intimate and cosy from the inside. Studio Kuadra architects, creator of this design, is a group of young people, who knows how to utilize the very best of each material they use. Glass, metal, stainless steel are materials characterized by consistency, form, quality and singularity, while accentuating composition, which remains precise and clean.
