A site that once divided two neighborhoods now connects them.

Spanning 14 acres between Germantown and Salemtown, Taylor Place brings new life to a 150-year-old industrial site. Over 12 years and three phases, our team brought architecture, urban design, and interior design services together across the site, adapting historic industrial structures alongside new development. New streets, pedestrian connections, public spaces, and art helped reopen the site to the surrounding community.

Today, Taylor Place is home to residences, restaurants, offices, and our own office. One of our favorite parts of being here is getting to see the place we helped shape continue to grow and stay active every day.

People. Place. Community.

Listening to the people who know a place best is at the heart of how we approach placemaking. Over the past several weeks, our team has joined CBL Properties, the City of Chattanooga, and Hixson community members to hear directly from residents about what they envision for the future of Northgate Mall.

Following today’s community meeting, we’re grateful for the continued participation and conversations that are helping shape what comes next for Northgate.

A first look at Wilson Reserve, a new Hilton Tapestry Collection hotel coming to downtown Florence, Alabama.

Inspired by the Wilson Dam and the shoals of the Tennessee River, the 86,000-square-foot, 110-key hotel incorporates arches and flowing stair sequences that draw from the movement and character of the surrounding landscape.

At the center, a courtyard connects the café, bar, destination restaurant, and shared spaces, creating a gathering place for hotel guests and the local community. The design builds on Allred Companies’ vision for a hotel that honors Florence’s history while bringing lasting quality and impact to the city.

Our team is grateful to the many partners we collaborated with in bringing this vision to life.

Today, we joined Nashville MDHA to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of Park Point East, just days after the 85th anniversary of the opening of the original Cayce Place.

Park Point East includes 203 homes, with more than half reserved for original Cayce Place residents and the remaining 88 affordable to households earning up to 60% of the area’s median income.

A defining feature of the design is an exposed steel pedestrian and unit bridge connecting the renovated Community Services office to a townhome-lined walkway leading to the future linear park. Together, these connections create a welcoming corridor for everyday use and community events while linking past and future phases of the neighborhood.

We’re proud to celebrate another milestone for the Cayce Transformation and see Park Point East begin welcoming residents home.

From Nashville to ULI’s “Missing Middle Housing: From Policy to Practice” report, Kirkpatrick Park is helping tell a bigger story about housing.

As the first phase of mixed-income housing within the larger Cayce Transformation, Kirkpatrick Park includes 94 units across 15 two- and three-story buildings. Urban Land Institute highlighted the community for “demonstrating how missing middle-scale infill can replace concentrated public housing and blend into the surrounding neighborhood’s historic character and street scale.”

The vision for affordable housing continues through our partnership with Nashville MDHA on the Cayce Transformation, including Cherry Oak Apartments and the soon-to-be-completed Park Point East.

Smith Gee Studio worked with Revive, a healthcare-focused marketing agency now joined with BPD, on multiple expansions of its office at Cummins Station.

Over nine years, we provided full interior design services, making the most of the historic building’s character while adapting to the agency’s evolving needs. The larger break room accommodates everything from casual conversations to company-wide gatherings, while additional meeting rooms and touchdown spaces provide employees with more places to work throughout the day. The reception area was also expanded to better showcase Revive’s in-house art collection, making it more visible in the office.

Together, these updates created a workplace that better supported the Revive team’s collaborative culture.
