“The Bank of America (Bankers Trust) on Calhoun is a gem worth saving. It is functional, discrete, and completely modern. It is also very rare for the city.”

Charleston Mercury Sept 2003,

Mills Brickell Hoban, IV

Regarded as one of the most unique buildings on peninsular Charleston, this bank’s design was a response to the client’s desire for a 2,000 square foot, full-service bank located on a small, confined site.
In order to gain maximum site usage, the final architectural solution was to provide an elevated structure with parking and traffic beneath. The structure consists of a rectangular glass box enclosed in a steel truss which is suspended from forms made of cast concrete. The architect designed the building’s artwork and built in furnishings. The high perch and expanses of glass provided light and views which proved to be a note- worthy contrast to more typical bank branches.
     This design not only solved the programmatic requirements, it also provided a signature building, much to the delight of the Owner.
