Maslow

Located in Wedgewood Houston just south of Downtown Nashville, Maslow is a four-story, 32-unit condominium project designed to support an essential and attainable lifestyle. The dynamic and walkable neighborhood includes restaurants, coffee shops, micro-breweries, fitness facilities, art galleries, and co-working spaces, allowing Maslow to forgo the need for traditional dining rooms, breakfast nooks, home offices, and common amenities such as fitness rooms and lounge spaces. The project prudently provides curated communal spaces such as a library wall where residents shelve and share their books, and a porch offering fresh air and views across the neighborhood to the downtown skyline.

The ground floor includes five live / work units providing space for small business owners, artists, and makers. The upper three stories contain a variety of residential unit types and sizes, although the vast majority are 500-square-feet, thoughtfully detailed to provide just the essentials for each resident. Through its clever re-organizational hierarchy, Maslow offers a solution for housing that celebrates the essential, provides for the communal, and fully inhabits its urban context.
