Work completed at Cooper Carry.
The Story…Broadwest, located in Nashville Tennessee, the project is envisioned to become a destination for not only hotel and residences but office as well. The project focuses on creating a flexible space where, if closed off for an event, becomes a large open plaza reminiscent of the pedestrian piazza’s if Italy. A predominantly native planting plan was used throughout as well as utilizing native stone found on site to utilize as focal points and informal seating areas.
The central green offers an area for small gatherings, yoga, or any other activity that would like to utilize a softer space. The arbor, which will offer an opportunities for vines to grow and create shade, also acts as an allée with each pillar lining with the adjacent Ginkgo tree’s. The surrounding plants embrace the green creating a calm, relaxing functional space that allows for a multitude of uses.
The process…Always seen as an open space that should be flexible to allow for a multitude of uses. Each conceptual design had this in mind. Below are the drawings that brought us to the design that was eventually implemented.
