State Savings Bank building, Commercial bank building in Martin Place, Sydney, Australia
The State Savings Bank building features pink terracotta and red granite cladding, with classical columns adorning its ten-story Beaux-Arts architectural design.
Construction began in February 1925 after the Government Savings Bank purchased five land strips, making it Australia's most expensive building upon completion in 1928.
The Banking Chamber and Grand Hall display marble finishes and ornate ceiling designs, representing the financial stability of New South Wales in the early 1900s.
The structure now serves as the global headquarters for Macquarie Group, following extensive renovations that preserved its architectural heritage while modernizing interior spaces.
The Safe Deposit area maintains its original vault ceilings and mosaic spandrels, demonstrating the banking security measures of the early twentieth century.
