Commerce Bank Natural Bridge Branch

St. Louis,  Missouri

V Three Studios and Commerce Bank have developed a partnership that has strengthened the Commerce brand in the built environment. Recognizing that Commerce Bank’s philosophy is to put the customer at the center of banking, V3 has helped to transform traditional banking environments into neighborhood spaces that better serve the users and the community. With the creation of customer focused consulting rooms, exploration centers, small business banking areas, and integrated advanced technology, Commerce Bank will remain agile as the future of banking continues to evolve.

The Natural Bridge Branch includes two 500 square foot building additions along the East and West that were designed as complementary expressions of the existing building’s vocabulary. Working with the existing building profile and systems created unique challenges that were solved using thorough coordination of disciplines during the design phase. The resulting solution allowed the owner to preserve the facility’s identity, transform the banking experience of its customers, and reinvest in the neighborhood to help encourage additional development.
