Sparkasse, Bielefeld

The Sparkasse bank’s headquarters were completed based on architect Hellmut Streich’s plan by 1977. The concrete building is typical of the era. After the building had been in use for 40 years, an architectural studio was appointed to modernize the cashier section, conference room and the bank’s restaurant and café. They created clearly marked zones and used light materials, colors and lots of glass to engender a feeling of transparency and space. Large-sized furniture, such as the reception counter or islands of seating, lend the space structure. Different types of material in the flooring and ceilings help people to find their way about intuitively. The result is a modern atmosphere that is very pleasant to be in.

The chairs in the middle section, where items of furniture are scattered about, feature seat cushioning in the red corporate color to match the round carpeting, the shape of which is reflected in the lighting.

The auditorium is a rectangle, which can be partitioned to enable different settings. The white Sito cantilever chairs (design: wiege) with gray and the occasional red covers indicate the Sparkasseﾒs corporate design.
