Merriman Anderson Architects (MAA) partnered with Legacy Bank & Trust to design new branch locations in Dallas and Plano, marking the company’s expansion into North Texas. These branches drew inspiration from the bank’s corporate headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, and reflect Legacy Bank & Trust’s commitment to community development, innovative approaches to helping communities thrive and dedication to building for the long-term.
The building exteriors combine clean, classic lines and materials that marry a fresh sensibility with a timeless aesthetic. The dynamic stand-alone buildings pop with unexpected energy yet fit naturally with their surroundings. Both buildings were existing and previously utilized for another business. MAA designed the renovations.
Interior finishes and treatments expand on the theme of modern, yet timeless, reflecting Legacy Bank & Trust's approach to reimagining what a community bank can be. The combination of warm woods, golden finishes and fabric patterns inspired by The Oak logo reflect the growth and strength of Legacy Bank, a backbone of financial success in communities across the Midwest and now, Texas.
The Dallas location is located at 17561 Dallas Parkway, Dallas, TX 75287, and the Plano branch’s address is 437 Coit Road, Plano, TX 75075.
“Legacy Bank & Trust brings a unique energy and passion to supporting the communities it serves and we wanted to ensure that feeling was infused throughout the new buildings,” says Milton Anderson, President of MAA. “The rich blend of textures, colors and elements both inside and outside provide a feeling of inspiration grounded in tradition.”
The Dallas branch location at 17561 Dallas Parkway is 5,535 square feet. The Plano branch location at 437 Coit Rd. is 7,086 square feet. Both locations are now open and supporting their surrounding communities.
The first Legacy Bank & Trust branch that entered the Dallas-Fort Worth market is located in Fort Worth at 5721 N Tarrant Pkwy, Fort Worth, TX 76244 and opened last year.
Terracon Consultants, Inc. is the contractor.
