Provident Bank had just been through a rebrand of the company when I started working with them. They had a wonderful brand standards guide and were very adamant about sticking to it. Their new brand colors of red and a vibrant purple were fantastic to work with. I was able to incorporate these in with a neutral gray canvas to really create a space that their customers will walk into and remember.
The material board shows the finishes and furniture we used through the space. Below is an example of one of the branches' floor plan. This new design has been carried through all their new branches as well as remodels in over 4 branches.
Neon is used above the ceiling treatment in Provident Bank's brand colors. The logo icon is designed into the floor and ceiling elements as well as being located on the back teller wall.
The logo icon is even represented in the etched look vinyl design on the office glass.
The waiting area provides a welcoming space for customers as well as occupying children that might visit the bank. The brand colors and elements are heavily woven into all elements of the branch.
Bridgeway FCU -LaGrange, New York 2009
Bridgeway had also just undergone a rebrand before I started working with them. They are located close to NY, NY and many bridges in their area were inspirational in their branding.
A photo of a local bridge is used here as a backdrop to the teller pods. Their pop colors of peacock and gold are used sparingly in this small branch so that they call attention to certain areas instead of overwhelming the space.
Many accents of metal were used to symbolize the bridge construction and aestethic.
mesh restaurant-Westchester, OH 2008
This restaurant was a new venture in the area. The owners wanted to create a upscale but relaxed dining experience with flair. They "wanted to feel like you are in New York City."
I worked on this collaboration to create a funky space with class.
The bar area features a glowing bar, comfy low booth seating, chalkboard focal wall and a custom light fixture.
The focal of the main dining area is the oversized wine wall. A community table sits in the reflection of the wine wall encouraging patrons to come in, have a nice meal, and meet new people.....to "mesh."
Many natural materials are used through the space including wood floors, wood booth surrounds and even reeds that are encased into acrylic table tops.
Private dining options include a small room that seats 12 and two larger rooms that together can seat 50.
I wanted all these spaces to flow but also be their own. The stunning woodwork in the large dining rooms is reflective of the wood floor in the main dining room as well as the colors flowing throughout.
