TBC BANK

TBC Bank is one of the most important credit institutions in Georgia. A new headquarters in the university district of the capital Tbilisi was to give the company a new identity and symbolise its resilience for the future.

The final design is a newly conceived urban space combining office buildings, green spaces and urban infrastructure. At the centre is the u-shaped main building, which becomes a sculptural work of art through an innovative facade design. The entire building is covered by a curtain facade, ‘wrapping’ the entire structure. The metal facade consists of a structure of triangles whose size varies depending on their position.
The overall composition reinforces the impression of a flowing fabric. The company logo breaks through the two-dimensional facade and penetrates three-dimensionally to the outside. Blue, fluorescent light is emblematic of the company and projects the company’s future prospects.

The 12-storey building frames an open park that is intended for recreation and the nurturing of community. A variety of trees and a large fountain in the centre create a refreshing public space. Nature is also integrated directly into the project design. Large niches in the facade dramatically stage carefully selected trees.
