PenAir Credit Union Airport Road Branch

Pensacola, Florida
Rethinking traditional bank branch design, the client’s goal was to have a modern, community-focused branch with a contemporary façade and an open, hospitality-inspired interior.

PenAir Credit Union desired a striking design for a new branch in a high-visibility location to boost community awareness. The chosen site was an existing 19,000-square-foot, three-story building on Airport Road, previously a bank suffering from significant water intrusion issues.  

To address these issues and align with PenAir’s branding, the building underwent extensive renovation. The project involved selective demolition to strip the structure down to its core, followed by the installation of a new curtain wall and storefront facade, roof, HVAC system, and upgraded restrooms. The outdated interiors were modernized with new offices and finishes. 

The redesigned interior breaks away from traditional bank layouts, replacing glass partitions with open, hospitality-inspired lounge areas and furnishings to create a more welcoming and comfortable environment for customers.
