Rutledge Hill
Nashville, TN
The Rutledge Hill Development offers unprecedented public access while uniting a diverse urban hospitality program. The design prioritizes universal accessibility by lifting a shared amenity plinth, which becomes a bridge with gateways in-between, providing passage into the site’s central landscape of agricultural gardens. The bridge’s roofscape provides additional accessible landscape and outdoor anmenity areas. Above the bridge, the project’s three towers include hotels, residences and offices, and their tapered forms are calibrated to maximize the passage of light and air. The towers frame a group of historic Victorian-era homes that are repurposed as culinary destinations, preserving and repurposing the neighborhood’s architectural character within a contemporary urban context.
an unprecedented attitude toward urban public access, uniting hospitality, local history & nature.
This project was completed while Josh Dannenberg was at Snøhetta.
