Our client needed a major overhaul on his outdated 70’s atomic ranch home perched on a hillside in Atlanta. Painting the exterior a bold black to define the home’s architecture was first on the list! In the large open kitchen, we focused on dramatic but livable finishes, including a dark, textured backsplash, matte brass plumbing fixtures, and stunning quartz countertops with beautiful veining and a waterfall edge on the central island. The custom wet bar clad in bleached hot-rolled steel with shiny brass sconces add a moody and sophisticated setting to mix a cocktail. Our take on the client's vision for ‘elevated surf-shack’ carries through to the funky tropical half-bath, plus a cozy fireplace area with rich tones of rust and indigo and lush green plant-life.

This record executive wanted a clean, modern design for his newly purchased Nashville home in a Green Hills neighborhood. The design for this interior is geared toward entertaining friends with comfortable spaces for sleeping, reading, and enjoying his music and media equipment. A plush custom upholstered charcoal sofa in the living area juxtaposes masculine elements of concrete and stone.

Creative storage for an extensive vinyl collection was also a must, so we designed custom steel floating shelves to mount above the client’s stereo, then brought in simple accessories for added detail. While in the bedroom, a rich toned mohair settee tucks in nicely to anchor the four-poster bed creating a luxury master bedroom suite. The dining room features, a vibrant antique area rug which complements the salon wall of mixed art pieces—-we added modern, abstract works to the homeowner’s personal collection to create a striking gallery that feels collected through the years.

We’ve had the ongoing privilege of helping Nashville’s CREMA Coffee with the design and buildout of their shop since they began in 2007.  For their latest renovation, we worked with owners Ben and Rachel, along with a team of talented craftsmen, to re-conceptualize CREMA, addressing the needs of their rapidly-growing business. Pulling together a cohesive branded design and flow, as well as an enjoyable experience for the customers and the staff, were priority.  

CREMA is passionate about their craft, and we wanted this concept of attention to detail to come through in the re-design. This meant a new space plan, brighter interiors, updated handcrafted furnishings, and most importantly, a focus on community.

After furnishing three distinct lounge areas in their former commercial space, our friends at GoNoodle brought us back to design their expansive new offices on the top floor of Nashville’s Cummins Station. Working from the blank canvas of a gutted 12,000 square foot space meant a complete start-to-finish design—everything from space planning and full construction documents, to dreaming up architectural elements that offer distinct and inspiring work zones, all the way to finishes and furnishings suited to a team of creatives.

The philosophy for this tech company focused on ‘movement for kids’ is that work environments should be playful, fun and a little irreverent. We designed six conference rooms, each with its own color palette and personality, to reflect the company’s branding, then collaborated on playful graphics with a local muralist to add color and geometry to the building’s beautiful exposed brick and other areas. Perhaps our favorite elements came through the local craftsmen we called upon to construct a freestanding slat wall with GoNoodle’s logo, along with custom booth seating in the lunchroom and massive steel planters to add life and energy to the open office concept.
