“Those who live in a glass house, shall not throw stones.”

Our architectural concept begins with this simple sentence, which relates directly to the trust between clients and the bank—an inherently fragile connection that must never be broken. The first part, “Those who live in a glass house”, refers to the bank employees who spend eight hours a day inside a completely transparent building, visible in every service they provide. These employees “shall not throw stones”—they must not, under any circumstances, break the clients’ trust.

Thus emerges our concept: a house entirely made of glass that offers necessary transparency, with glass processed into durable bricks—just like the bond between the bank and its clients. The glass façade symbolizes trust and responsibility that a financial institution must uphold. This ethical architecture reflects openness, honesty, and a conscious exposure to the public.
