The developer has received numerous compliments from the residents of the city on the quality and attractive exterior of the building.

COLUMBIA STATE BANK

SAA designed an 11,000 SF flagship branch that connects the interior to the outdoors. Giant basalt columns define an exterior park-like walkway. The columns continue on the interior to greet patrons with a massive sculptural dry fountain. Light streams in from a stone clad tower giving a sense of grandeur and making use of natural daylighting.

“Scott Steele designed our Shevlin Center, Pendleton and Hermiston branches. The designs have style and are very functional. Scott had vision in the planning process and helped manage the construction of the projects. He was excellent to work with and I recommend him highly. We will use his company in the future.”
