Our portfolio is intentionally diverse, reflecting our ability to devise architectural solutions to complex challenges in ways both proven and unexpected.

We are constantly working to create an office culture of well-being, fairness, and creativity that serves as a catalyst for innovation, transformation, balance, equity, and sustainability in everything we touch.

We are a spirited bunch that produces serious work. We seek out ventures that push our abilities as creative problem solvers and clients who embrace our mission to create impactful designs that challenge convention and engage the community to enrich lives and inform positive change.

COLLABORATIVE

From the start, we committed to a collaborative design process, both internally as an office and with our clients. This process enables us to draw on the strengths of our entire team and to respond distinctively to the unique demands of each project. Plus, it’s more fun this way.

COOPERATIVE

In 2019 we doubled down on our team-oriented collaborative culture and became an Employee Owned Company. Our business is a coop style workplace democracy where each person contributes equally to the team.

INNOVATIVE

Before co-working office space was a thing, we were doing it. Not because it was cool but because it inherently made sense to us. Since 1996, we have shared our space with Zeitgeist Art Gallery, because we recognize that art and architecture have the power to change the way we experience - and engage with - the world around us.

REGENERATIVE

We view our role as architects holistically. Not only are we designing impactful places, we are also actively engaged as advocates and volunteers for causes ranging from the environment to education. We are building up Nashville in meaningful, sustainable, and creative ways and are committed to leaving the world better than we found it.
