FIRST IMPRESSION IS VERY IMPORTANT: HOW SHOULD AN IMPRESSIVE BANK DESIGN BE?
Whether it is an office entrance or a hotel lobby, the design of the counter determines the first impression on the space. In the modern architectural understanding, counters are not only the reception points, but also the design elements that reflect the vision and corporate identity of the brand. So, how should a stylish and functional counter design be? This week, as T-COD Architecture, we have compiled for you the topics that should be considered in a successful counter design.
WHAT IS BANKO DESIGN?
The counter is the first contact area where visitors are greeted, informed or their transactions are carried out. It is an element that must be both aesthetic and useful in terms of design. A correctly designed counter improves the user experience while also supporting the general atmosphere of the space.
1.FUNCTIONALITY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY IN BANK DESIGN
A good counter design prioritizes functionality:
Ergonomic dimensions where employees can work comfortably, Storage areas, Correct planning of electrical and data infrastructure, A layout where visitors can easily perform their transactions.
2.BANK MATERIAL SELECTION: AESTHETICS AND DURABILITY
Counter materials determine the style of the space. Frequently used materials:
Wood: Creates a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Marble or Granite: Offers a luxurious and lasting effect.
Compact Laminate & Corian: Frequently preferred in modern and minimalist designs.
Metal & Glass: Ideal for technological and contemporart spaces.
3.AESTHETIC DESIGN: STRENGTHEN THE FIRST IMPRESSION
The design language of the counter should support the corporate identity of the brand.
Minimal or flashy?
Organic lines or sharp lines?
Is the color palette appropriate for your brand?
You can also further emphasize the design with decorative lighting.
4.CORPECT SIZE AND POSITIONING
The counter should be positioned correctly and in appropriate dimensions fot the size of the space.
A very large counter will create pressure in a small space. A counter of inadequate size will appear dysfunctional. In addition, its placement should be planned correctly in terms of visitor traffic and direction in relation to the entrance door.
