Handelsbanken is one of the major Swedish banks, with over 460 brances in its native country. However, the Stockholm-based firm also has a sizeable presence in the United Kingdom and in 2015, the bank decided to refurbish its British base in Leeds.
Already with a great design in mind, Handelsbanken approach Wagstaff to realise this Scandanavian-inspired scheme, and Creatif was brought on board to ensure the space was acoustically perfect. This complex scheme featured a variety of finishes, LEDs, large graphics and, luckily, a careful consideration of its acoustic needs.
