Concept Development and Interior Design
6,550 S.F.
Nashville, TN
In 2012 D and E collaborated with a native Italian restaurateur to design an authentic Italian restaurant, Sardinia, near downtown Nashville, TN. Our team met on site to field verify existing conditions and worked with the owner to carry out his vision. Interior finishes, including porcelain tile from Italy, were selected to establish the warm tones and natural textures. Framed soffits were designed throughout the space to provide a chase for mechanical equipment while also introducing lower, more intimate spaces within the existing concrete structure. The end result is a warm, comforting atmosphere for the owner’s true passion to take center stage.
