Gibsland Bank & Trust (GBT) reached out to TBA Studio to renovate an existing bank building to become their new Ruston location. The building program consists of private offices, a teller station, a break room, a conference room, and other support spaces designed to accommodate the bank’s operational needs.

The renovation involved significant upgrades to both the exterior and interior. The exterior received lighting and finish improvements, including stone column wraps and a fresh coat of paint, giving the building a modern and welcoming appearance. Additionally, the existing canopy size was reduced to increase parking availability and enhance site functionality.

The interior design focused on creating a modern, professional atmosphere with upgraded lighting and contemporary finishes. Stone was thoughtfully incorporated as an accent material, adding an element of sophistication and durability. One unique feature of the design is the preservation of the existing vault, which was kept intact and showcased as a focal point for the public to admire and appreciate, thereby highlighting the building’s historical character.

The result is a revitalized banking space that blends functionality with aesthetic appeal, supporting GBT’s commitment to serving the Ruston community with a refreshed and modernized environment.
