PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
CapitalMark Bank, a Chattanooga-based financial institution, partnered with MHM to design its first retail location in Knoxville. The new branch was located in the Historic Post Office Building on Main Street, an iconic 1930s Art Deco landmark.

MHM preserved the integrity of the original lobby—a striking composition of Tennessee marble, wood, and intricate cast metals—while seamlessly integrating modern banking functions. To reflect CapitalMark’s focus on individualized service, offices were designed to be almost completely transparent, reinforcing personal connections between bankers and clients.

Original post office furnishings were thoughtfully repurposed, and MHM collaborated with a local gallery to curate original artwork, creating a space that blends history, craftsmanship, and a client-centered banking experience.
