VIP provided architectural and interior design services for Community Bank, N.A.’s (CBNA) Watertown branch, transforming a historic bank building into a modern, functional, and welcoming banking environment. The design respected the building’s historic character while introducing a clean, contemporary layout that enhances both customer experience and staff operations.
The project included a full interior fit-out, featuring thoughtful spatial planning, modern finishes, updated lighting, and seamless integration of banking technology. VIP carefully preserved key historic elements, creating a harmonious balance between the building’s heritage and the client’s vision for a refreshed, accessible branch.
The design goal was to revitalize the space for the Watertown community, creating an environment that is both inviting and operationally efficient. VIP supported CBNA from design through construction administration, resulting in a renewed branch that strengthens CBNA’s presence in downtown Watertown while honoring the building’s architectural legacy.
