Sterling Bank

When Sterling Bank set out to open several new branches, they used their headquarters as the canvas to define their new environmental identity. The goal was to build an atmosphere that felt sophisticated and modern, yet deeply rooted in local history.

Taking design cues from the physical space, I aligned the custom environmental signage with the interior’s existing brass finishes for a cohesive, high-end feel. To honor the community, I curated and designed large-format, frameless local archival photography, mounting the prints with minimal button hardware for a sleek, floating effect. By pairing these nostalgic elements with clean, modern custom wall coverings and privacy window films, the final space achieves a perfect equilibrium between historic charm and polished corporate banking.
