SCOTT AVENUE TOWNHOMES
Scott Avenue Townhomes is a 10 unit single-family attached townhouse development in the historic East Nashville neighborhood. This project consists of two unique floor plans ranging from 1,350 sf to 1,450 sf along with a 1,100 sf commercial retail space situated on the corner of Scott and Eastland Avenue. The development is oriented to each street frontage with concealed parking accessed off the adjacent alleyway system. The commercial space mimics the symbolic nature of the neighborhood corner markets located throughout the existing urban fabric. It encourages pedestrian interaction through the incorporation of large storefront windows, detailed brick facades, and exposed metal awnings. The design of the townhomes was taken from the vernacular of the neighborhood homes with cementitious siding, large front porches, tall vertical double-hung wood windows, gabled roofs and exposed rafter-tail eaves. However, elements such as the end unit towers, create a new character identity and sense of place within the traditional neighborhood context. The units were designed with open floor plans on the lower level. Large spatial volumes were incorporated into each unit's entrance where a double-height "gallery" space allows two-story windows and/or skylights above. This double-height circulation zone allows natural light to filter throughout the unit and allows the second floor hallway to open up to the first floor below. Natural materials such as maple cabinets with textured glass, oak floors and custom wood railing are prevalent throughout the interior of the space.  Awards
