2. GRESHAM SMITH AND PARTNERS
Corporate Headquarters
Designed and built in 6
months, this project provided
many opportunities to develop a
creative, flexible space for the
350 person architecture
engineering firm.
The project architect and myself
reported to the GS&P executive
committee while working closely
with all departments to co-
ordinate effective layouts and a
successful move.
The new office occupies 5 floors
of a downtown Nashville office
building. As part of the
project, we cut through the post-
tension slab to link 3
consecutive floors with a custom
ornamental stair.
The final plan incorporates a
universal design that enables
individuals or entire studios to
move with relative ease from
bay to bay and floor to floor. The
bay design offers many
opportunities to display
artwork, project photos and
current in process work along
the tour path around the office.

7. MAGNETEK INC.
Corporate Headquarters 80,000 sq. ft.
The MagneTek building, slated to be built in
downtown Nashville, was designed to be the
first “Energy Star” label building in the nation.
The executive floors of MagneTek, occupying
the top 4 floors of the 11 story building, are
designed to impart a sense of MagneTek’s
corporate philosophy: Efficiency and
Innovation.
The building systems were designed to operate
at peak efficiency. All materials used will be
environmentally friendly. The organization of
workgroups will allow maximum growth and
flexibility.

9. ERLANGER MEDICAL CENTER
Professional Office Building Addition
This 30,000 square foot addition / renovation
project encompasses the addition of a 12 story
office tower to an existing hospital in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Starting from the turn
of the century, the existing hospital is a series of
many additions, each dating from a different
decade.
The goal of this project was to use the interior
space to blend the new and old spaces in a
seamless design. Our team developed a concept
around a small section of the existing hospital
preserved and coveted since 1912.. We studied
the materials, the details and the overall character
of the small space.
The finished space accomplishes the goals by
incorporating many details echoing the
sentiments expressed in the existing “jewel
space”. The varying volumes of the new atrium
are coherent to the visitor through the use of
consistent design cues present in the architectural
detailing, patterns and colors throughout the
space.

17. MCMINNVILLE COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER
170,000 sq. ft. Replacement Hospital
Located in
McMinnville, Oregon the
design of this
replacement hospital
was influenced by
craftsman style buildings
at a local college
campus.
The main waiting area
and dining room were
central to the design of
the interior spaces. As
was a state of the art
women’s center.
The main waiting area
was originally planned
with a 3 story atrium.

21. BOHAN CARDEN AND CHERRY
Advertising / Public Relations Firm 11,000 sq. ft.
The offices of Bohan Carden
and Cherry were the result of
acquiring several adjacent
tenant suites over the period of
10 years. Lack of modification
and integration of the acquired
spaces left the office with no
sense of continuity or
harmony.
One approach was a complete
demolition of the first floor.
This plan would allow us to re-
build with a
fresh, light, open, industrial
feeling that would allow the
agency room to grow.
A second approach was
preserve as much of the
existing walls as possible and
focus our design on the front
door, the entry sequence and
several specific problem areas.

22. SunTrust Music Row Financial Center
Branch Bank 12,000 sq. ft.
Located on music row in
Nashville, Tennessee, this branch
bank is an established provider of
financial services to individuals and
corporations in the music industry.
As such, this branch required a
focused aesthetic approach which
was sometimes at odds with the
banks traditional design
background.
As a design team, we worked with
the client to understand their
specific requirements and
acceptable limits of traditional bank
variation. The final design is one
that merges materials and space
planning mechanisms familiar to
the bank, with detailing, furniture &
finishes that appeal to a
hip, contemporary client.
