Private Bank

Globally aligned and distinctly Melbourne

This premium workplace is a refined contemporary environment that reflects the organisation’s values of professionalism, confidence and warm hospitality.

Designed as a modern interpretation of the business’s European origins, the interior draws on a legacy of precision and craftsmanship, reimagined through a distinctly Melbourne lens. European heritage is balanced with Australian design sensibility, creating a workplace that feels globally aligned yet deeply connected to place.

Natural materials and a mindful design approach underpin a calm, functional environment. Stone and timber ground the interior, establishing a strong connection to nature, while layers of leather, upholstery and plush woollen carpets introduce warmth and texture. Soft, curved and organic forms are repeated throughout the space, creating a welcoming, human-centred atmosphere that encourages comfort, ease and collaboration. Soft, indirect lighting enhances the circadian rhythm, supporting wellbeing and sustained focus.

A welcoming arrival experience is defined by warm materials, gentle curves and carefully calibrated lighting, reinforcing a client-focused, hospitality-led experience. Premium amenities elevate the workplace, including a dedicated private dining room designed for client lunches and intimate meetings. Purposefully integrated art enriches the space, fostering a deeper connection to place and contributing to the organisation’s cultural narrative.
