1 Hotel Nashville
A sustainable luxury oasis in the heart of Nashville.
The Challenge
Nashville's pioneering luxury sustainable hotel, 1 Hotel Nashville, marks my inaugural venture with the leading sustainable hospitality brand. Drawing from Nashville's stunning natural scenery, the hotel celebrates the essence of central Tennessee’s waterways, peaks, and woodlands. Guests can unwind in the earthy elegance of the guest rooms, enjoy the chic rooftop bar, or find tranquility in the wellness spa. Leading the interior design and construction process, we ventured beyond the typical motifs of Music City to immerse guests in a fresh, nature-inspired narrative of the locale.

The Result
1 Hotel Nashville's interior design captures the essence of Nashville's landscape and history through well-designed public areas and guest rooms. Natural materials like reclaimed wood and local stone create a connection to the environment, while large windows let in plenty of natural light, merging indoor comfort with the lively outdoors. Artwork and décor that highlight Nashville's musical heritage and Southern charm enrich the atmosphere. Each guest room serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring earthy colors and textures that reflect the region's beauty, making visitors feel at home and inspired by the city's unique culture.
Nature-Driven Design: By utilizing biophilic principles, the hotel seamlessly integrates natural elements into its interior spaces. Local materials are employed to reflect Nashville’s iconic landscapes, creating a serene environment that promotes a connection with the outdoors while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Wellness Integration: The design incorporates wellness-focused areas that prioritize relaxation and rejuvenation. Farm-to-table dining options foster a connection to health and sustainability, while thoughtfully designed public spaces encourage guests to unwind and engage with nature.
