Project:

Client:
WSFS Bank
Site:
500 Delaware Ave Wilmington, DE
Year:

01 WSFS Bank Center
Context:
This project was designed and completed while I was working at Hooper Shiles Architects. WSFS Bank was relocating their headquarters to this brand new office building designed by Gensler. They were additionally leasing ground level retail space for a new branch bank to open at this facility.
Idea:
Given the prime location of this spot and branch's adjacency to the building entrance lobby, the branch was given a uniquely rich retail identity. Finishes were selected to complement some of the bank's typical branding elements while others were substituted to create a seamless integration with the building lobby.
