Located at the edge of an expanding new community, this branch bank provides a modern facility for an institution that is rooted in the history and landscape of the Central Valley. The building is composed of two simple enclosures joined at the transaction counter - a glass public banking hall and an opaque money-handling area. The roof structure, both sculptural and functional, is a folded plane that reaches over the site to shelter both the covered parking and drive-through bays, and shade the glass walls. The roof is supported by tree-like columns - their shape echoes the canopy of the orchards that once stood there.
