For this interior buildout in a new retail branch location, custom woven wood panels from Architectural Systems Inc. were used as decorative partition accents throughout the space, in office and teller counter areas, and on the low octagonal wall that frames the central reception area. The geometric form and textural materials create a rich arts-and-crafts-inspired atmosphere.

"Architectural Systems Inc. is a valuable source for unusual, quality products," said John R. Sorrenti, founding principal, JRS Architect. "The woven wood panels were a great addition to the custom woodwork in this design and became a key element in our overall design approach. These panels enhanced the elegant, warm feeling we were striving for in this facility. ASI is responsive to our needs on projects and their staff is extremely knowledgeable in technical aspects of fabrication."

Working closely with the JRS team, ASI millwork experts developed the custom closed weave Woven Collection panels and consulted on architectural detailing and installation. The Woven Collection features five standard, stocked wood veneers as well as more than 120 veneer species for custom orders.
