This retail bank, in a traditional
style, provides a feeling of stability. The simple ordering of the
tellers windows and the use of marble patterns lends a sense of solidity
which is balanced by the use of a soft yellow and
green color scheme. The space, which is elegant without being sumptuous,
reflects the character of many American banks at the turn of the
century.
Here the simple contemporary
lines of this wood paneled bank are consistent with the modern building
in which it is housed. The re-clad tellers counters and lighting are
simply handled, as appropriate for a rental space. The chrome, rosewood and
leather officers desks and other movable items are handled in a more
luxurious manner.
This is a small branch bank
located within the British Embassy in Washington for the convenience of
the embassy staff. The use of chintz curtains and paneling is reflective
of an English traditional style. The lack of bullet resistant glass allows
this small area to maintain an intimate feeling for transacting business.
