Highland Bank
Maple Grove, MN
Banking Built Around You
Mohagen Hansen Architecture | Interiors partnered with a local financial institution to design a modern space in conjunction with the relocation of their existing bank. Situated within a new mixed-use development, the project offered an opportunity to rethink operational workflows, enhance customer service, and align the physical environment with evolving trends in the banking industry.
The new design embraces a contemporary banking model, featuring an open floor plan that supports both convenience and personalized service. Self-service kiosks offer quick, independent transaction options, while walk-up desks replace the traditional teller line, allowing for a more approachable and streamlined experience. For clients seeking privacy, semi-enclosed enclaves provide quiet spaces for one-on-one conversations without compromising the openness of the layout. The bank’s operational strategy centers around the Universal Banker concept, with cross-trained staff and clear sightlines throughout the space—ensuring that team members can easily assist any customer, at any time.
