The Bank Branch of the Future

Frameless glass partition walls physically divide the space into small offices while allowing for visually uninterrupted space between public and private areas.

Over the past two decades, Arium AE has worked on dozens of bank branches for First Mariner Bank. With recent changes in ownership, First Mariner, again, relied on Arium to design a new branch prototype for its new location in Timonium, Maryland.

Deemed by First Mariner as “The Bank of the Future”, Arium captured First Mariner’s vision to create a modern and open interior space, as opposed to the traditional design and décor often associated with past First Mariner Bank branch locations. Arium provided complete Architectural and MEP design services to create a large open public space complete with an interactive technology bar, business center, lounge and conference room open to the community. You can find out more about First Mariner’s new bank branch in this recent article by the Baltimore Business Journal.

The design incorporates First Mariner’s traditional teller stations, but with a more modern approach by incorporating a curved teller counter and public lounge area.

Public areas consist of self-service computer stations, hand held device IT counter, and public conference room available for use by members of the community.
