Northeast Bank - Boston
Northeast Bank is a full-service banking institution established in 1872. Their objective was creating a modern workplace that enhances employee experience through design of open collaborative spaces, private work areas and technology forward meeting rooms.
The new location in the Seaport focused design around enhancing expansive views of the harbor. Fusion took inspiration from colors and textures in surrounding area and designed the space to maintain open window line to allow all spaces access to natural light.
As Northeast Bank has locations in multiple cities, it was important to create a sense of place. Entering reception, the Boston Seaport location is represented in a custom-designed 3-dimensional backlit map. The overall design incorporates a mix of rich materials, colors and diverse art package to create visual interest. Fusion combined modern collaborative workspaces with timeless elements. Natural wood, glass, steel and marble reflect the bank’s staying power. The natural palette with accent colors reflecting the water views creates an eco-friendly, warm, comfortable feel. The team designed spaces where employees are provided with a choice of resources and work styles.
The floorplan is comprised primarily of interior offices allowing open window line for workstations and collaboration areas. The café was specifically designed with access to the best views. The layout also encourages community engagement with long communal tables, lounge areas and meeting booths that encourage the use of the café for meetings and gatherings throughout the day. Technology is integrated to allow for remote staff to participate seamlessly in office activities.
The result is a beautiful combination of natural light, stunning views, and classic materials with a modern twist. The design is a testament to Northeast Bank's commitment to providing its customers with the best possible banking experience and its employees with an inspiring place to succeed
