Banco Lariano Erba

A remarkable originality of the project distinguishes the building in Erba designated for use as the headquarters of the branch of the Banco Lariano and its offices. The construction is clearly divided into two blocks, the lower occupied by the hall of the bank and the upper, made up of two floors, intended for offices, part of which belong to the same banking company. The connecting elements of the two blocks are two large cylinders, containers for lifts and stairs, which sweep the marked horizontality of the building. Between the lower and upper blocks, an open space was obtained, which can be reached by a ramp that wraps around the outermost of the two "organ pipes". On the façade, the projecting roof of the ground floor supports a narrow green border and bushy plants.
