Nashville, TN (The Nations)

This was a chance to design an anchor multi-family project to The Nations neighborhood. This project allowed for affordable and economical units in a tight housing market.  And being located on a commercial corridor allowed for transit for the residents and walk up traffic for the local businesses.   Cor-ten highlights the building massing while the first floor completely opens via large glass overhead doors.  Residents maintain private access in the back but utilize open roof decks along the street facade.
