The First Abu Dhabi Bank project in Geneva was developed following an invited competition, where ADELI proposed a refined and minimalist architectural approach.
The design reflects the identity of a prestigious financial institution, combining functionality, clarity, and contemporary elegance. Clean lines and a restrained material palette create a strong yet understated spatial language.
Warm sand-toned oak paneling defines the interiors, complemented by noble materials such as marble, wood, leather, and Corian. The composition enhances both the tactile and visual experience, while lighting design reinforces a calm and sophisticated atmosphere.
The reception desk is conceived as a light and sculptural element, appearing almost suspended within the space while ensuring durability and precision through its materiality.
Conference rooms are designed with a balanced approach, respecting the bank’s codes while introducing a modern graphic identity. Each space offers a distinct yet coherent atmosphere, reinforcing both functionality and brand presence.
The project embodies a subtle equilibrium between prestige, simplicity, and architectural precision.
