The starting point for consistent, scalable, and brand-aligned branch design.

Efficient Rollouts
Accelerate project timelines by starting with a fully developed prototype that streamlines decision-making and approvals.
Tailored Customer Experience
Design with intention by aligning layouts, finishes, and features to your customers' needs and your brand’s personality.
Future-Proof Flexibility
Adapt to evolving needs with a prototype that accommodates different branch sizes, programs, and regional requirements.
What Is a Prototype?
A prototype is your branch blueprint. A fully realized design that includes:
- A program layout
- Signature Elements like branded kiosks or smart walls
- A curated finish palette aligned with your brand
- Architectural features and exterior design
- Strategic integration of technology and customer experience
From Prototype to Network-Wide Transformation
Once your prototype is complete, we help you apply it across your network:
- Identify high-performing branches for full renovations
- Strategize light refreshes for lower-priority sites
- Develop a multi-year transformation roadmap
Signature Elements That Scale
Signature elements can be scaled across your network. These features reinforce your brand identity and create a consistent customer experience, whether in a flagship location or a smaller community branch.
