FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE SERVICES
Designing the Future of Financial Services
HTG understands the banking industry is undergoing a fundamental shift: customers are demanding online efficiency but still value the trust and personal connection found in your physical bank branch. Our architecture expertise meets your challenge head-on. We design facilities that recognize the physical bank and credit union location’s evolving role—from a transactional place to a critical sales, consultation, and brand presence hub. Our focus is on creating environments for you that are fully prepared for emerging technology, scalable for growth, and engineered to support the personal relationships that drive long-term customer retention and loyalty.
We specialize in architecture that transforms financial institutions from transactional spaces into trusted relationship hubs. Our bank and credit union architectural designs optimize security, integrate future-focused technology, and enhance customer and member experience.

First Bank & Trust
First Bank & Trust’s Edina branch had poor visibility, limited access, and didn’t match the level of service the metro market demanded. The team replaced it with a new regional flagship and training hub, expanding business, lending, wealth, and retail banking. And when zoning restrictions threatened drive-up service, the solution was bold: bring the drive lanes inside the building, creating two enclosed, code-compliant lanes that keep banking access available 24/7.
