The Sugamo Shinkin Bank in Japan Is Nothing Like Traditional Banks

In the past few years, Emmanuelle Moureaux has designed several locations for the Sugamo Shinkin Bank in Japan. However, the entire design belies what many envision a bank to feel like —  sterile and boring. These colorful and cheery designs are a welcome addition to roadsides, with each of the locations completely different but tied by a similar thread of using a myriad of pastel colors. Each location tie the exterior with the interior perfectly, with the color palette imbued throughout. Perfectly executing a geometric aesthetic that may seem sharp and harsh, the color palette makes the aesthetic completely cheerful that definitely enhances customer experience.
