SUM financial project featured in Banking Matters magazine

Our Clackamas County Bank project in Gresham, Oregon, was recently featured in Banking Matters magazine, the premier publication of the Oregon Bankers Association and Independent Community Banks of Oregon. 

Written by Matt Loosemore, the piece looks at design trends in banking as well as what techniques and strategies were used to design and construct the new bank. 

The new branch complements the culture of the bank: a warm, inviting place that offers a professional, but personal atmosphere for its customers. 

Any questions about how we see financial institutions’ designs changing post-COVID?

A new year, a new bank completed and opened

The Clackamas County Bank in Gresham, Oregon, is officially open for business.

The newest financial project designed by the team at SUM features a main floor with main branch area, as well as offices and support spaces. The second floor features offices and a community room where local organizations can gather for meetings and events. 

Adjacent to the community room, customers will enjoy a large outdoor fireplace with rainwater gathered over the entry canopy, flowing down the face of the building in an open downspout. 

For exterior materials, the new branch was clad with 80% light gray and dark gray brick, natural wood and natural Loon Lake stone. 

The new branch complements the culture of the bank: a warm, inviting place that offers a professional but personal atmosphere for its customers. Thanks goes to Bremik Construction for being great partners on the project.
