FIRST ATLANTIC BANK
Formally Center Bank 

---

The design intent for this project was to create a contemporary, two-story brick and stone building that blended with the historic character of the surrounding area.  Modeled after an ancient fortress, the timeless design conveys strength and stability, important for the appearance and perception of a financial institution.

The building is articulated by exterior buttresses, which anchor the structure to the ground. The sloped roofs have broad overhangs that compliment its stately image. Inspired by Caribbean ingenuity, roof drains are honestly articulated in the form of stainless steel chains engaging the buildings buttresses and creating an artful display as rain water weaves its way down around the links.
