First American Bank

Chicago, Illinois

This 10,000 square foot branch bank facility adjacent to the Eden's Expressway in Chicago uses a classical architectural vocabulary to convey a sense of banking tradition and permanence. Constructed of loadbearing limestone precast, the building shell is highly durable and maintenance free, yet cost effective.

In keeping with the traditional architectural forms, interior spaces are detailed with mahogany woods and veneers, granite countertop surfaces, and terrazzo flooring in a pattern utilizing abstracted classical architectural motifs. The banking interior is formal and elegant, yet intimate.
