CHICKASHA BANK AND TRUST - APACHE BANKING CENTER

The new Apache Banking Center offers visitors and staff an intimate facility with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Cavin Design Group was conscious of designing the facility to fit within the confines of a budget while incorporating the client’s unique needs. Material selection, details, and, spatial design were integral issues in assisting the overall appearance and appeal of the facility.

The front facade features painted wood siding complemented with stone accents at the main entrance. The natural stone gives the facility a more distinguished entry in addition to texture and depth. It is used at the base of the columns, supporting the pitched roof and exposed trusses. Upon entry, the spatial design is efficient and convenient. Visitors are quickly greeted with consultation stations in the lobby which also provides a general seating area. Placement of furniture and stations are turned at a forty-five degree angle, guiding the flow of traffic. This angled concept is also applied to the centrally located fireplace which is the main focus of the lobby. The flue extends from the ceiling and hovers over the brick fire pit for a grand and interesting centerpiece. Surrounding materials complementing the western styled fireplace include rustic colored tile flooring, ebony stained wood, and natural toned paint throughout the facility. To personalize the bank, CDG designed shelving located twelve feet above the ground to display the various collections of southwest art and decor owned by the client.

Apache Banking Center has an individual quality and style that is reminiscent of Oklahoma history and culture. It maintains a lodge-like environment that is comfortably domestic and would make any visitor feel like home.
