Service Retailer
Award of Merit
TRIAD Architects, Columbus, Ohio
This bank's colorful, graphically driven design focuses on eliminating barriers between tellers and customers. In the personalized financial services area, half-high partitions provide intimacy but allow sightlines to the entrance. Online transactions take place at computer workstations with complimentary refreshments. And transitional flooring and visual merchandising mark the teller service station.
