Bank in Götzis
The present structure forms part of a programme of new architecture designed to lend an old-established Austrian bank a bolder, more progressive image. The building stands on a flat area of concrete paving that is demarcated by two exposed concrete walls. On the ground floor is a spacious general banking hall with self-service facilities. Personal services are housed on the two upper floors. This division is also legible externally. The more private spaces on the upper levels receive daylight through narrow window strips; the only larger area of glazing is in the access corridor. In contrast, the open public hall on the ground floor has full-height glazing to the long face.
