Report
Regional branch of Česká spořitelna (Savings Bank) in Pelhřimov was refurbished in a former hotel which had been built around 1920 to fill the gap in the main square east side. Fronts of the building were carefully restored while inside changes of room layout were necessary to meet client´s needs. Upper floors were used for offices, headquarters and back-up service areas of the banking hall. The hall itself got an ample room in the only volumous space on the ground floor – former multipurpose hall. On this natural core of the bank were focused user´s demands which made it, alongside with its destination for public use, the centre of the architectural design too. New light steel arches spanning the main nave, semi-circular marble counters in the bays and marble built in elements were inserted. These adjustments reflect new purpose of the hall yet leave room enough for original structure to contribute to the complex appearance and image of the financial institution with deeply rooted tradition which runs back over one hundred and fifty years.
