Chmiel Architects was selected as Alterna’s creative partner to develop the design of their new flagship branch. It was essential that the new space reflect Alterna’s values of People First, Excellence and Integrity. Chmiel Architects aimed to create a space that was warm, inviting, vibrant, fresh, and stimulating. Spaces were designed to serve multiple functions. For example, the main banking hall is equipped with reconfigurable lounge seating and serves as a waiting area and reception area for events or seminars. The main boardroom also serves as a staff meeting room, lunch room, and community room for use by members.
