Thanks so much for attending Mark! It was a pleasure walking you through the building, and very pleased we were able to have our interior design (Celano Design out of NYC) rep on the tour as well.  I do want to clarify a couple questions that are being asked here:

  1.  The primary tenants have not been finalized yet, they have a solid idea of one, but not the other. There are two floors of tenant space, one on the ground floor and one in the newly excavated basement. As requested by the owner, we will not comment publicly about tenants that have been discussed.
  2. There will be entrances to both tenant spaces and an entrance into a stairway that leads up to the rooftop bar/restaurant. Hotel guests should be able to access their rooms from this stair once they have checked in (not positive on that, but almost)
  3. As Mark mentioned all the original brick and painted signage will remain. We also worked very closely with Historic and it was implied to us that the historic element should remain to best of the ability of the design team and any addition should stand out as substantially different from the original. The vertical and horizontal concrete (around the brick) will be patched, cleaned and painted to match one of the gray tones of the cement fiber panel above.
  4. The inspiration of the gray panels was to make it look like an audio board and the levels one sees when working the board (cheesy, but executed pretty solidly in my opinion)
  5. All woodwork in the entire hotel is being done by an Amish group called Valley Design out of Ohio. 
  6. Celano Design actually worked with Marriott on the design standards for the Moxy brand. The bathrooms (and yes the square toilet) is the most consistent throughout all the Moxy hotels. Each hotel does take a significant amount of influence from the local area. No, neither my firm or Celano are involved with the Hillsboro Village Moxy.

As for the comments about the spaces getting trashed, sucks for those guests seeing as they will be paying for the repairs then. This hotel will be a first for lower broadway as no other hotels face onto the street. This has been a trying process due to the well established contractor issues, the pain in the ass neighbor that made moves through the night that effected our project tremendously and a slew of other things. A member of our team has been working on this project since 2014!!

 

Feel better Ron! hope the doc only gives good news.

This project will be one to keep an I on. My firm did a planning exercise for one of the two small lots directly adjacent to the east of this large parcel last year and it is a very steep grade change and alot of rock, which equals blasting. The other curious item is this chunk of land was partially owned by a Land Trust, which could make for actual affordable housing with certain constraints of profit with resale. I had to do alot of research on Land Trusts and Community Land Trusts for grad school and it was interesting to run across in this area.

Metro needs to invest in this area for the developments to all become reality. That portion of the road is a deserted wasteland!!

^ ^ ^ The brick will remain exposed and all of the Richards Storage signage will remain painted.  The wanted to continually pay homage to the building's roots. 

Are they going to clean it up at all beyond adding the new windows? Retouch the missing paint?

Paying homage to a buildings roots shouldn't mean retaining a structure as an eyesore.

I hope they at least power wash the brick.  Right now, the new portion and old portion don't mesh that well.

This is purposeful. While the building is not historic is falls within the historic overlay. The point of the addition was to separate itself from the original building.

Can you explain why they want the addition to look separate?  Seems to me, they would want you to do something that compliments it in a way that looks like it belongs there.  It's not like they're going to one day remove the addition (more than likely).  I love the addition you guys did...it's just a little strange they would want it to look so different.

I understand, but don't necessarily agree with the reasoning to keep the new addition and old building looking different. But two elevations of the building have been turned into Swiss cheese with all the punched windows.

At some point it's not historic anymore. Just my perspective....

The developers of Phase II of Taylor Place (adaptive reuse of former Werthan Packaging warehouse and a new 2 story structure) have secured an additional $13 million construction load from Wells Fargo Bank. Work is currently underway on the old 60,000 sq. ft. structure to be converted into creative office space. The new building will cover 18,000 sq. ft.

The development that includes The Inn at Fontenel, Carl Black Chevy Wood Amphitheater, Prichard’s Distillery, Natchez Hills Winery and Tasting Room, Adventure Works Ziplines, Vintage Creek Apparel and Italian restaurant Cafe Fontanella has sold for $14.5 million. Its buyer is Chicago-based BlueRoad Ventures, which created BlueRoad Fontanel LLC for the acquisition. No word as to their plans for the 167 acre site at 4133 Whites Creek Pike in northern Davidson County.

Metro Council previously approved zoning to allow the property to offer an additional 140 hotel rooms in five buildings to be located on an adjacent 30-acre farmstead.

My understanding is within an historic overlay or with a historic structure that at one point that structure blended into the area and when you renovate it add on to such a structure you want to preserve a certain essence of that original context while adding a new, modern take that begins to shape the next what the new context will become. 

A lot of it is design lingo and will be interpreted differently by those in the design community and those not. It may not make sense to everyone and design will never please very person, but as a design team we are appreciative of those who enjoy the hard work of this design and we are very proud of the outcome.
