We designed this small drive-through branch for a regional bank with a long history of supporting innovative architecture. Sited on a commercial strip surrounded by big-box stores, we set a glass volume on top of and perpendicular to a brick volume that housed the banking hall below.
We started with a really simple proposition: How can we make a tiny building in this all-too-familiar kind of suburban landscape ‘quietly stand out,’ while making a tranquil and distinguished place for those inside?
