DESIGN NAME: Umpqua Bank Spokane Main
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Retail Store
INSPIRATION: Connecting to the city of Spokane and its historic downtown was a driving factor of the design. Care was taken to preserve elements of the existing building, which was once a prominent department store, such as the ornamented columns found throughout the space and a new facade hearkening back to the architecture of the period. The history of the city also informed the art and graphics inside the space, from a Spokane inspired pattern in the reading alcove, to a three dimensional mural in the community exchange room artfully evoking images of the World's Fair held there in 1974.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This flagship retail store in historic downtown Spokane, WA offers a destination for visitors and a hub for the community. The storefront is understated, allowing the interior to shine through. A lounge space offers guests a chance to enjoy complimentary coffee and tea, read a book, or access Wi-Fi, and features integrated presentation capabilities for community events. The Community Wall features product information and upcoming events, and 3 meeting rooms are available for customers or the public to reserve for free.
