The Community Bank is a new idea of banking. Where the tradition functions and morals of banking meet the growing and ever-changing needs of young millennials. Firstly considering the two general pretences under which one visits a bank, The Community Bank design revolves around the "fast service" channel. Wide enough to fit the ques and movement around ATM's, self service machines and bank tellers, this space doubles as the main support of the building. Large glass panels present the idea of transparency, while acting as the main atrium, are supported by large steel columns. Expressed on the interior of the building envelope, these convey the strength of both the structure and the organisation. In contrast to this modern design aspect, the remainder of the bank is constructed from masonry brick, reflecting the historical context in which it sits. This brick however is curved and perforated, demonstrating the flexibility of traditional materials, made possible by modern technologies. The last ideal of the bank, growth, is represented by the curved staircases, visible when approaching the building from the street. Offering many flexible, consulting and support spaces, timber is used as both a circulation and fit out material calm the space, from the hard exterior.
