Söhne & Partner Architekten in collaboration with Ethiopian firm BET architects have designed a new United Bank building in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with a dragon-scale facade.
The building form is conceived as a composition of a tower and podium articulated with diamond shaped unit interwoven together forming unity of units to symbolize the ‘Hibret’/ Unity Bank. At the ground floor, a common plaza with urban landscape is created which lead to different entrances: branch Bank, Headquarters, shopping and rentals. This common plaza serving as a transition place also symbolizes unity- people of different interest are coming to one shared point.
