DESCRIPTION
The banks prototype was made up of a row of colossal
columns in antis, which was faithfully reproduced for its
Manila headquarters. The ground floor was fully rusticated
to effect a textured finish. This floor had arched openings
with fanlights emphasized by stones forming the arch.
The main doors were adorned with lintels resting on
consoles. Above the ground floor were six three-storey
high, engaged Ionic columns, ending in an entablature
topped by a cornice. These six columns dominating the
south and west facades were, in turn, flanked by a pair of
pilasters on both fronts. The fifth floor was slightly
indented and also topped by an entablature crowned by
strip of anthemion.
BUILDING OUTCOME
Under new ownership, the building was given a new lease
of life using adaptive reuse, and being retrofitted to host a
future call center. The architect of this project is Augusto
Villalon. An additional floor discreetly and intelligently
added to the structure.
