Harris Bank: North and Lavergne

• Location Chicago, Illinois
• Design 2001-02
• Construction 2003
• Client Harris Trust and Savings and Bank

To increase the presence of Harris Bank outside the greater downtown area of Chicago, this branch bank prototype consolidates personal banking services in a small facility on a corner site at a prominent intersection in a culturally and ethnically diverse underserved neighborhood. Rather than relying on architectural elements to embody a corporate identity, an unarticulated continuous glazed facade employs lenticular technology to provide the opportunity for a continuous and mutable display of marketing, easily visible by pedestrian and vehicular traffic from moderate distances.
