M1 Bank, Des Peres, MO
When Core 10 Architects had a vision for the Des Peres, Missouri branch of the M1 Bank, it fell to the contractors to make that vision a reality. The project called for a complete gut renovation of the space with new offices, conference rooms, a stone wall feature, and new terrazzo floors. In April 2019, M1 Bank proudly displayed its new branch design.
The architect’s concept included using terrazzo flooring to help complete the overall design. Missouri Terrazzo methodically worked through the colors and strip layout to make the plan come alive. Special care had to be taken to get the layout of the two designs and the logo set properly in place. In addition, general contractor ICS Construction Services worked in concert with the terrazzo contractor to accommodate the needs of terrazzo installation by clearing the other trade workers off the floor to allow the space needed to complete the job.
M1 Bank has used terrazzo flooring in renovations for its other branches and has plans to use it again in future buildings. The owner favors terrazzo floors for their durability, longevity, and ease of maintenance.
