Renovation, Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, Dennis, MA

Cape Associates carried out this renovation of The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod branch in Dennis. The building looks like a grand Cape house more than a bank.

White clapboard walls, dark green shutters and a dark gabled roof with a cupola set the tone. A covered porch with white columns wraps part of the building, and stone walls and a split-rail fence sit along the lawn.

Inside, the photos show:
• A teller counter with warm wood panels
• Purple accent walls behind the desks
• Glass-fronted offices
• A vestibule with an ATM, slate-colored tile and black-framed glass doors
• Large windows that bring in daylight

Dennis lies on the Cape's bayside, and the building suits its village setting. Cupola, shutters and porch details are the kind of traditional touches that keep a commercial building in scale with nearby homes.
