3XN’s design for Swedbank is an innovative interpretation of the core values of the organization; Openness, Simplicity and Care – all materialized in a modern office space with emphasis on transparency, Scandinavian simplicity and a dynamic social environment. Thus the architecture is based directly on the organization’s profile as at once a solid, financially sound and modern bank interpreted through 3XN’s philosophy about behavior and architecture.
