Saxo Bank / 3XN

By David Basulto — Filed under: Institutional Architecture , Selected , , , ,

Danish architects 3XN just sent us their latest finished project, a building for an online bank. This building was finished 4 years after winning an international competition back in 2004.

I like how the central stair adds dynamism to the interior, enhancing vertical relations.
