Spoiler alert: they really loved us. The feeling is mutual.

“My first interaction with Banko was when they rescued me on another project… I was introduced to Melissa and she stepped right in. I was so impressed by what she pulled off both in terms of the product, the timeliness, just the resource she was that I started using her for most of our interior design work thereafter.”

- Katherine Mosley, Partner, Tribridge Residential

Upcoming Multifamily Development - Florida

Interior of a living room with wooden floors, white shiplap walls, decorative chairs with plaid cushions, a wooden coffee table, curtains with colorful stripes, and a wall sign that reads 'Mount Pisgah'.

“If you know Melissa, she’s just full of energy, but extremely smart. And I thought that her whole team follows that example. You know, just high energy, but extreme detail in each of their categories.

The kids are really going to enjoy [this renovation]. It will not only be a great experience for the students, but also the teachers… and this is going to be a special place for them. No one has seen a pre-school like this… with the carpet and the lighting and the glass, there’s whole sections just designated for imagination and exploring. All of it put together really makes for a cool experience.

- Dana Ridenour, Assistant Head of School, Finance & Operations,

“They do a great job listening, but also asking the right questions. Pointed questions. They’re not afraid to ask those questions and push back when needed… We really appreciate the fact that [Banko Design] pushes back when needed, and candidly does so. We appreciate that. Feels like more of a partnership.”

- Ashish Bagley, Manager, Tribridge Residential
