Matúš Dulla, Harminc Milan Michal

Constructed by the Nitra builder Tomaschek in the centre of the town, the bank building is based on a plan by Harminc from his modern phase. The glass parterre with the tellers’ counters is clad in smooth travertine. The mass of the building is composed of three sections of differing height; the corners have two floors with corner loggias and a rooftop terrace.
