Scope: A design transformation of the ground floor concourse with a rebranding of the CBTT inclusive of a new corporate logo and graphics.
The raw concrete finish of the column structure was transformed with use of wood veneer cladding, frosted glass panels and LED lighting. The floor scape included a vibrant granite floor with an island of bamboo laminate flooring in the main seating area. Bespoke seating and sculptural elements were fabricated in mahogany wood. Also, the central suspended light fixture assembly was customed designed using standard aluminum extruded sections.”
Large scale wall graphics were inspired by the engraved patterns of the local currency. The graphic design elements and corporate logo were designed by our graphic consultant Illya Furlonge-Walker.
The concourse also served as the lobby for the CBTT Money Museum designed by others.
