The Branch fits into the local architecture, environment and economy.  Elements of the local design vernacular were included in order to make the project appropriate for its site and region.   The building was designed as a single-story, wood and steel framed structure.

The Branch has two drive-up lanes and a drive-up ATM unit.  Design constraints included a creek-side riparian zone and flood plain requirements for raising the floor elevation.
