SOUTHTRUST BANK CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

  • The design challenge of the new SouthTrust Bank building was placing a 21st century structure in an 18th century context. The building is located at the site of the original bastions of the original walled city of Charleston SC. There are only three materials on the exterior of the building – each occupying a distinct layer of highly figured pre-cast concrete and then an intermittent layer of muntz metal. The muntz metal is used wherever people touch the building – doors, handrails and window frames. The muntz metal expresses its own rapid state of change as it patinas from exposure to the coastal air and to human touch. The stucco expresses a bleached white aesthetic while the pre-cast is used to express something more rich and detailed by light and shadow.
