Next Project
Rutledge Flats sought to disrupt the perception that multi-family housing must choose between affordability, proximity, and design. Rutledge’s co-living community combines 174-micro-units, each less than 200-square-feet, with shared kitchens, living, and outdoor spaces just a short walk from Downtown Nashville. The project includes a central courtyard with community grills, a garden sustained from rooftop irrigation, and a rooftop deck that takes full advantage of downtown views.
The concept of disruption and community to shape the architecture is embedded in the historic Rutledge Hill neighborhood and the street grid that defines it. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Nashville, it has been divided and interrupted by connectors and alleys as it adapted to the changing community. Rutledge Flats similarly adapts the multi-family housing model to a new way of urban living. Inspired by the neighborhood grid of Rutledge Hill, the façade breaks and shifts just as the grid has been shifted and altered to accommodate new growth, often in a haphazard, seemingly unplanned manner.
Hand-painted murals in the lobby and shared living space on the first floor were painted by a local Nashville artist, further reinforcing the project’s commitment to the artist community and connection. While murals breathe color into the lobby and community living space, bold gestures of red define interior hallways and highlight façade details on the building’s exterior. A simple black-and-white palette brings a modern sophistication to the interior of each unit.
In a conscious effort to promote and contribute to a walkable neighborhood, the project is intentionally void of parking to foster a broader sense of community for the residents who typically would go from car to unit without interactions with neighbors.
