Russian bank job for 10m

Gordon Lindsay Design has won a contract, initially worth 10m, to design the interiors of Russia’s biggest private bank.

Stolichny Bank will move into the abandoned music academy in Moscow – an 1890s building stripped bare by Stalin.

The Chelsea Harbour consultancy won the project against a US and a German architect. Phase one of the refit for the 750m2 building is put at 10m.
