Discount Bank, Timisoara

The building of the Discount Bank, located in Piata Unirii, was built between 1906 and 1908, according to the plans of two architects, Marcel Komor and Dezső Jakab, students of Ödön Lechner. The three-storey building has an asymmetric construction; its windows and gables are decorated with coloured ceramics. Gaudiana influence is clearly seen in the refined usage of curved elements and beautiful ceramics. The building’s asymmetry is highlighted by the balcony from the short façade.
