THE HEAD OFFICE · SUNDBYBERG, STOCKHOLM
Glass atriums tied together by white spiral stairs
In 2013 Swedbank left its location in the heart of Stockholm for neighboring Sundbyberg — not to attract clients, the architects say, but to change its culture and way of working. The 45,000 m² building by 3XN, completed in 2014, turns the bank's values of openness, simplicity and care into transparent, Scandinavian-simple offices around light-filled atriums, where white spiral staircases link the floors and a restaurant opens toward the street.

Lounges and meeting rooms
Openness, simplicity and care — the bank's values — shaped the interiors.
