National Bank of Canada

In 2016, the National Bank of Canada unveiled its new trading floor in Sun Life building, a 24-storey tower in central Montreal. The Canadian architecture firm, Architecture49, was assigned this historic heritage space which hadn’t been renovated since 20 years back. Keeping its classic, rich details, including a ceiling lavishly decorated with gold lead and large skylight, the dark space was turned into a luminous, modernised office housing 256 traders and managers. The natural toned flooring from the Flow collection stands in perfect contrast to the room’s historic details, adding a little drama to largest active trading floor in Quebec.
