western savings

A small branch banking office which also houses regional executive offices, the inverted mirrored pyramid is a functional response to the greater area imposed by the upper floor and the owner's desire to achieve a unique visual image - a single, strongly-identifiable form. Glass corridors bridge between the masonry stair towers and the second floor. The drive-thru teller lane tunnels through the base. A space-framed skylight allows natural light to penetrate a central atrium to the ground level banking floor.
