We may have gotten rained out for a half hour, but that didn’t stop us! Another great Sounds outing down in the books.
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.
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.
Start to Finish Series: Design Development
START-TO-FINISH SERIES: Phase Two – Design Development
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!
Project Highlight: Chipotle – Hendersonville, TN
D and E provided full site design services and shell architecture for this Chipotle in Hendersonville, TN.
The civil work in this location posed unique challenges to convert what was one site into two, while still maintaining vehicle and pedestrian access and circulation throughout. Our civil team had to creatively engineer the patio and drive-thru layouts in order to make the development work. We were glad to have found a way to efficiently re-use what we could while replacing what we needed to.

Visit to The Fainting Goat – Franklin
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!

Project Highlight: Jim ‘N Nicks BBQ
Our team worked closely with the client to design the full site and building for Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ. This project involved a high level of coordination through all phases, especially permitting and site design phases in the Denver market. It was fulfilling to see the final project come to life with the authentic wood and brick exterior finishes beside the iconic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
