ABOUT THIS PROJECT


Maysville, KY – 8,000 s.f.


K4 Architecture + Design partnered with First State Bank on a new retail branch facility in Maysville, Kentucky—an 8,000-square-foot, bank-owned building that also includes tenant space for Dunkin’ Donuts and Verizon.


A key design consideration was the shared public interface between First State Bank and Dunkin’ Donuts. Inside the building, a shared lobby space required careful coordination to balance accessibility, security, and brand identity. An overhead roll-up gate allows Dunkin’ Donuts to operate during non-banking hours while maintaining separation and security for the bank. K4 also designed independent egress paths for each tenant to ensure proper circulation, life safety, and code compliance when the bank is closed.


The site planning and drive-thru configuration further reflect the project’s complexity. The drive-thru was designed to accommodate both banking and food-service operations within a single circulation system. Dunkin’ Donuts utilizes the first drive-thru lane with a pass-through window for its customers, while the outer two lanes serve First State Bank’s drive-thru and ATM operations. This shared yet clearly delineated layout supports efficient traffic flow while preserving convenience and operational clarity for both brands.


The new branch offers a welcoming full-service lobby, private lending offices, and a state-of-the-art conference room with advanced media capabilities—supporting seamless staff and customer interactions. Additional amenities include a 24/7 ATM and a double-lane drive-thru to enhance convenience and accessibility for the community.


First State Bank’s expansion into Maysville reinforces their commitment to strong local banking relationships and continued growth across Kentucky. K4 Architecture + Design is honored to partner with their team to deliver a facility focused on innovation, accessibility, and exceptional customer experience.
