ZAS Architects + Interiors were engaged by HSBC Bank Canada to re-design and revitalize their main retail branch and corporate location. These multi-phased projects encompass seven floors of the HSBC Building office tower in the heart of Vancouver’s financial district. The projects were designed to incorporate HSBC International Design and Banking Standards whilst fulfilling regional operational and local building code requirements. The CMC Wealth Management Centre on the third floor was the first of its kind to be opened in the world, focusing much attention as a precedent project. Each floor required careful coordination of complex construction phasing and staff relocations while remaining fully operational. ZAS successfully managed an extremely ambitious schedule for the retail floors to ensure completion prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
