SUMMARY

Rondout Savings Bank in Kingston, New York, sought the help of La Macchia Group to transform the first floor of their recently purchased two-story building into a branch that would help serve their community and customers in the best way possible. This 1840’s building brought along a vast history with it, and it was crucial to both teams to integrate a modern feel into the space, while still paying homage to the structure that has lasted for as long as it has. While bringing this space to life, another crucial aspect was to reinforce the bank’s brand and core values of Community, Accountability, Relationships, Excellence, and Security (CARES).

The new branch has an open layout, delivering a contemporary banking experience that communicates innovation and efficiencies with their integrated technology, dual purpose seating areas, and engaging teller hub. A large LED panel screen, integrated with casework into the wall behind the greeter desk depicts Rondout Savings Bank’s branding and logo, strategically positioned to provide a welcoming and inclusive experience.

An interactive, digital community board was incorporated into the lobby as part of a built-in awards cabinet. This digital feature allowed customers to engage with the bank’s history and community contributions, reinforcing Rondout Savings Bank’s role as a pillar of the community. With five private offices, two hoteling/flex offices, a workroom, and a large, strategically placed conference room in the first floor of this building, employees have ample space to make connections with customers and build loyal relationships. Visiting customers can enjoy the convenience of a vestibule ITM for those quick, or after-hours transactions.

Rondout Savings Bank partnered with La Macchia Group to design a branch environment that reflects both their deep-rooted values and forward-thinking vision. The shared goal was to develop a space that feels warm and inviting while also serving as an educational and functional hub for customers. Throughout the collaboration, there was a consistent focus on blending innovation with tradition—ensuring that the final design not only meets the practical needs of a modern banking experience but also stays true to the legacy and community-centered spirit that defines Rondout Savings Bank.
