"This was the first new building for the bank in 30 years," said Leslie Gentile, partner at Fernald Design Group. "The client required a building that would remain strong in appearance for many years."
The designers chose Chocolate sandstone from India, and French Azul Casis limestone -- both supplied by Tri-Stone Co. of Los Angeles, CA -- in a total of 6,000 square feet to clad portions of the building. The Chocolate sandstone was used on the exterior, cleft-finished with a band of honed. Flamed Azul Casis limestone was used to complement the sandstone, for the exterior main entries.
