A sense of family in a private bankers’ lounge

Fargo Space is a lounge for private banking clients, a co-working space for private bankers, and an office for Fargo Wealth. Catering to clients from high-net-worth families, LAAB instilled a sense of family in the design to create a warm, cozy, and refined experience while considering security, functionality, and a sense of privacy. Soft furniture with round edges in an earthy tone of beige and shades of brown were used along with sunlight, wood, and fine brass details to conjure a sense of home in this lounge.

An open, expansive sun-lit “living room” with a panoramic harbor view filled with upholstered furniture and a classy bar defines the co-working space entrance. A reflective ceiling creates a mirage of water, enhancing the sense of height.

Throughout Fargo Space, we designed a diversity of reconfigurable rooms to accommodate specific needs, including a boardroom, a tearoom, multiple meeting rooms & VIP rooms, phone booths, a gym, an open office with lockers, and banker’s rooms that satisfy SFC licensing requirements. The harbour view boardroom can be combined with the lounge space to form a large event space.

As many clients are travelers, massage rooms are equipped with massage chairs to ensure a comfortable nap. The tearoom, gym room, and special guest area provide games, snacks, and entertainment for children while their parents meet with their private bankers.
