Natixis Hong Kong

Natixis is a French corporate and investment bank created in November 2006 from the merger of the asset management and investment banking operations of Natexis Banque Populaire (Banque Populaire group) and IXIS (Groupe Caisse d’Epargne). The bank’s office space in Hong Kong’s Admiralty district was recently redesigned by M Moser Architects. Capitalising on the space’s stunning views across Victoria Harbour and over Kowloon, the M Moser team responded to Natixis’ requirements with a design whose virtual ‘invisibility’ is complemented by outstanding function and attention to detail.

Replacing the bank’s original three non-consecutive floors in Hong Kong’s Admiralty district, the project for the new office evolved as a direct contrast to the old: a consolidated, contiguous workspace with few internal barriers to communication or circulation.
