The lower floor of People’s Choice bank’s Norwood branch blends functionality with local pride through its community wall, displaying sports memorabilia from bank-sponsored teams. Visible from the bar area, this space is designed to connect with the community in a modern, open environment that encourages social interaction and celebrates local culture.
At the forefront, a curved bar counter features a light brownish-pink speckled stone or composite countertop with a brass-colored trim, lending a touch of elegance to the casual setting. Teal ceramic tiles line the base, adding a subtle pop of color, while wooden bar stools in muted shades of orange, beige, and taupe are arranged invitingly around the bar. Green leafy plants, strategically placed around the counter and along the stairs, add warmth and a natural vibrancy to the scene, enhancing the relaxed atmosphere.
The mid-ground showcases the community wall, adorned with memorabilia related to local sports teams that People’s Choice sponsors. The wall displays posters, graphics, and images in a muted color scheme, highlighting the bank’s connection to the local culture while maintaining a professional aesthetic. A reception desk is nearby, blending seamlessly with the warm wood accents seen in the beams and flooring throughout the space.
Overhead, a pleated pendant light casts a soft glow over the bar area, while a neon sign reading "The people's bungee" adds a playful touch to the wall, enhancing the bank's casual, community-focused ambiance. With natural light streaming into the space, the overall environment feels bright, modern, and inviting, reflecting People’s Choice bank’s commitment to creating a customer-friendly and locally engaged branch experience.
