Sounds Outing 2024

We may have gotten rained out for a half hour, but that didn’t stop us! Another great Sounds outing down in the books.

Congratulations, Mya!

Congratulations, Mya!

We would love to acknowledge one of our Interior Designers, Mya Agee, for being accepted along with a select group of 14 other up-and-coming designers to attend the industry’s premier commercial design event – NeoCon.

In their own words, @neocon_shows “offers a comprehensive itinerary led by industry leaders, including editor-led showroom tours and roundtable discussions. It is a unique chance to learn about the latest products and trends that are shaping the industry, while also building meaningful working relationships with other designers, manufacturers, and industry professionals.”

Congratulations on this great accomplishment, Mya!

Tazikis: Brentwood, TN

Tazikis: Brentwood, TN

The Taziki’s Brentwood location was a 3,000 SF tenant build out completed back in 2015.

D and E enjoyed working closely with Taziki’s on this location and a few others in Nashville and Brentwood.  Each site required working within the parameters of the Landlord combined with the local jurisdictional requirements in order to successfully accomplish the client’s branding and operational programs.  We are excited to continue to see this brand grow and offer a great product to their guests.

Congratulations, Clara!

Core Value 02

The best creative solutions are practical.

This second value of ours reflects the basics of our philosophy, which is integrating the aspects of both a design and engineering mentality. We aim to walk the fine line of embracing creativity and practicality as a firm and find this approach to be most rewarding for our clients. This core value ensures that those we partner with not only get fresh and innovative designs, but also solutions that serve their intended purposes pragmatically.

We are continuing into the next phase of our one-stop-shop design process – Design Development. While our project coordinators are conducting due diligence, our architectural and/or civil team is working on the following:

  • Developing preliminary site plan layouts
  • Creating a floorplan layout
  • Designing exterior elevations
  • Creating 3D Renderings
  • Adapting the design based on local requirements discovered in due diligence
  • Making revisions based on client review and comments

And more! We enjoy working closely with the client in this phase to create their vision and design solutions to meet their needs. Stay tuned for the next phase!

Our Interiors Team took a trip down the road to one of our projects that recently opened – The Fainting Goat Coffee Co. in Franklin, TN! Incredible coffee, a great second story with a rooftop lounge, remote working booths available, and parking in the back. Needless to say, this location will be a frequent visit for our office!
