Next Project
Rising from a pivotal site in Nashville’s SoBro District, 805 Lea acts as a hinge point between Nashville’s downtown districts of SoBro and The Gulch. Lined with a variety of retail and restaurant spaces along Lea and Palmer Avenues, the project becomes a draw between the two neighborhoods. 354 residential units enjoy spectacular views, elevated amenities, views of the downtown skyline and future Greenway access via the Gulch pedestrian bridge.
The 30-story urban apartment tower drew inspiration from its proximity to rail lines, the site’s industrial past, and the pulsing music of the city. The three simple, metallic masses that define the tower, each represent a different scale of the site. The lowest mass shrouds the garage and hovers above street level with graphite-hued and perforated panels. Its proportions recall the masonry warehouses of Cannery Row and Cummins Station. A shimmering, iridescent tower lends both gravity and levity to the design. Structurally and aesthetically, this mass anchors the project and marks the district.
Oxidized stainless steel panels are punctuated with an ordered rhythm of solid and void. Balconies relieve the composition of aluminum and glass. From within, the panels act as a shading system, framing the bustling urban life outside. From a distance, the panels flicker from muted leaden to brilliant golden colors.
Just as 805 Lea introduces a new design vocabulary and materiality to the Downtown skyline, so does the bold and modern feel of the interiors. The exterior theme is carried through the interior space and defined by a black and white palette that creates a sleek and sophisticated look that is both timeless and contemporary. The design offers modern living space with an expansive amenity deck featuring a saltwater pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, ample entertaining spaces, and the Sky Lounge, with sweeping views of the city.
Seizing on the opportunity presented by the highly visible site and market demand for quality residential buildings, the 805 Lea delivers thoughtful design to the ever-changing Nashville skyline.
