La Macchia Group LLC

Scope Of Work

Landmark Credit Union called upon La Macchia Group to provide site development, architecture and construction services for the rapid deployment of a branch in Germantown. A key component of the process was working with the community to maintain an 80’ tall sign that was critical to the plan for enhanced visibility of the financial institution. Approval was received and La Macchia Group then demolished an existing restaurant in order to build the new credit union.

The design objective of the credit union was to update its look while remaining tranquil in style. A neutral palette was selected for the interior in order to communicate a sense of class and sensibility to the mature demographic. A spine through the large open lobby space varies the height and creates a strong linear effect. In order to soften the space, gentle curves were incorporated into the teller line and reception area. These linear and curvilinear details, together with the peaceful palette, create a soothing, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for the credit union. The offices’ clear sight lines to the lobby add to the welcoming appeal of the space by communicating the service-oriented mentality of the credit union. The arrangement shows the employees’ willingness to help members, while maximizing sales opportunities and addressing security. The new location expands Landmark Credit Union’s presence into a new market with a fresh look that supports a positive member experience. The rate of new member capture has exceeded the credit union’s plan and continues to steadily increase.
