For instance, after Hurricane Ian devastated its Sanibel Headquarters, the Sanibel Captiva Trust Company turned to AJO to renovate two offices simultaneously.
Recognizing the need for a secure mainland location, AJO transformed an outdated bank into a modern workspace for the Fort Myers branch.
Originally constructed in the 1980s in an elegant Mediterranean classical style, the building featured grand arched windows that opened to both the outdoors and interior offices. While charming in its day, the space had become obsolete and required a
comprehensive redesign to meet the demands of a 21st-century workplace.
Today, elements of traditional architecture blend with modern details and artistic sound solutions, creating a place where old and new styles coexist effortlessly. This thoughtful transformation illustrates the impact architects have in creating spaces that are not only functional but also meaningful and inspiring.
“Quite whisper of wealth, understated but rich in warmth.”
