This project was built on a very environmentally sensitive cut of land in Suffolk. The challenge here was to provide a new bank with drive though service windows and parking. While the color and the use of dolphins (yes dolphins!) were used as an added theme by the Directors of the Bank it still maintained good proportions. It was a very tight construction site. A Pergola in front has seating to humanize the rather acute angle of a corner at route 58. My initial role with this project was to investigate the building code information and search zoning alternatives. While the building looks traditional, it matches the surrounding residential buildings which are part of a historic city in what was once the peanut capitol of Virginia.
