Client Objective

To add life to Nashville's first office tower built in 1959.

Design Strategy

Survey motifs which reflect unique features of the Tennessee Landscape, using jeweled color tones. To preserve visibility in the space, an innovative translucent weaving technique was originated, and synthetic, metallic mylar yarns were custom spun and woven in a dynamic design.
