National Bank of Tuvalu, Vaiaku
A shaded upper balcony and green metal awning distinguish this modest Vaiaku bank frontage.
The story behind the place
The National Bank of Tuvalu is established under Tuvalu’s banking legislation. Its Vaiaku building is an everyday part of the country’s public and economic life, rather than a monumental banking palace. In the photographed frontage, an open upper balcony shades simple doors and windows, with another awning protecting the ground floor. It offers a glimpse of how national institutions fit into the compact built landscape of Fongafale.
