It features 260,000 sq. ft. retail space contained in a pair of round buildings connected to one another by a covered passageway. The buildings were designed by Form A Architects and clad with nearly 140,000 sq. ft. of stucco-embossed Kalzip aluminum standing seam panels.

In the addition and renovation of Citizens State Bank’s main headquarters in Somerville, TX, BBA Architects, LP, of Brenham, TX, sought to carry forth the architectural identity it had helped establish in two earlier branch designs.

Metal wall and roof panels from Petersen play a starring role in in both its design and performance.
