LIBERTYVILLE BANK & TRUST

When this community bank decided to renovate, redevelopment of downtown Libertyville was already underway. The redevelopment program called for restoring the town’s historic character in accordance with guidelines advocated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Bank wanted its renovation to be consistent with these guidelines. Two attached buildings served as the Bank's home. An historic, early 20th Century structure faced the town's main street. Behind it, stood a stark, contemporary addition. We redesigned the exterior of this addition, relating it more closely in style to the older structure. Inside, we integrated the two buildings and created new, much needed work spaces. Phasing allowed business to operate fully throughout construction.
