New Resource Bank
San Francisco

New Resource Bank takes a unique approach to the business of finance, with a mission to promote sustainability through their loan practices as well as their overall operations. The bank’s new offices and bank branch in downtown San Francisco reflect this passion, showcasing a LEED Gold design that maximizes access to natural daylight. The 10,144-square-foot interior wraps around an elevator core, creating narrow floor spans. This, combined with the client’s desire for mostly enclosed offices, led to a concern that the space might feel confined. RMW’s interior design solution uses glass and translucent walls, white-painted open ceilings, and organic neutrals to create a sense of openness and flow. A lounge, employee breakroom, and conference room serve as the heart of the offices, with two folding walls that open up to create one large multipurpose area.
