Bank of China Chinatown Melbourne by SPACEOS

ArchiPro Project Summary - Revitalization of the Bank of China branch in a heritage-listed building, featuring modern banking facilities while preserving historical elements, completed in 2018 with a focus on accessibility and compliance.

Title:: Bank of China Chinatown Melbourne
Architect:: SPACEOS
Category:: Commercial/; Banks

The Bank of China sought a design of their new branch located within a heritage listed building in Chinatown.

The retail interior design includes the main banking areas, client focused VIP meeting rooms, a safety deposit basement vault and back-office support on all levels.

This required extensive base building alterations and the addition of a new elevator and stairwell core across three levels, whilst introducing designs meeting all DDA and BCA requirements.

Although based on the Bank of China’s global design standards, unique applications, and variants to meet Heritage Victoria was enabled by the client for this unique site for the interiors and exteriors, that was originally built in 1922 as a banking hall.
