Entry Description

A 12m-high waterfall was placed in the large 4-floor atrium facing the bank. The constantly flowing waterfall is illuminated by light passing through the top light and glitters brightly, with diverse expressions created by the sun's movement. In the morning, the flickering reflected light fills the room, and at dusk, the light of the setting sun illuminates the room in red. The variety of light and the sound of the waterfall's falling water spreads throughout the bank branch to create a relaxing atmosphere. We created the space as a bank symbol that will stay in the minds of visitors.

Bio

We strive to provide unique and spatial experiences that
stimulate the five senses: beautiful urban skylines, design that lifts

cocoon of security and safety.
