01 Challenge

Lebanon City National Bank (LCNB) required more office space for its expanding operations, and they wanted to maintain their Lebanon, OH, headquarters presence within the downtown business community. To solve this, the bank secured a large parcel of land in the heart of Lebanon’s central business district. Since this project required designing the first new building to appear in this historic downtown for many decades, LCNB selected BHDP due to our firm's experience designing buildings that respectfully complement historic urban settings.  

02 Solution

BHDP’s design of LCNB’s headquarters building incorporates historical details such as marble accents and embossed spandrel panels. Inside, we integrated 21st-century design details such as larger windows for more natural light and employed modern methods and materials to improve the thermal and waterproofing envelope of the building. The design carefully positioned the three-story building to give the community a welcoming, park-like setting that includes cascading terraces, benches, and plantings between the front of the building and the street.
