Banq restaurant is located in the old Penny Savings Bank in Boston, abandon years earlier. The architects saw promise and a new life for this small, but sturdy structure. Designed with the customer in mind, one enters through the doublehung bronze doors to an elegant full bar. Then beyond the bar is the dining area, substantial in both size and design. Plyboo Neopolitan was used extensively on this project for the bar area, dining booths, seating and tabletops. Neopolitan flooring was also used to play against the wild ceiling structure.
