PROJECT OVERVIEW

Largest Mass Timber Building in Tennessee

Paradym designed and developed the fourth building on this multi-building, mixed-use campus called the Atrium at Fountains. Scott Graby partnered with Paradym to create a unique atrium-anchored residential condominium. The project utilizes a mass timber superstructure provided by Binderholz, which is not only environmentally sustainable, but also creates beautiful exposed wood interiors.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A Post-Tornado Rebuild for a Community Hub.

When a tornado struck Middle Tennessee in March 2020, Cross Point Church’s Nashville location suffered significant damage. When Paradym was selected to be the design team that would help with repairs, we knew we wanted to do more than just disaster restoration; we were inspired to help the church build back better.

Vision.

Cross Point Church has several campuses, so we collaborated with their creative lead to decide which existing brand elements to keep consistent and what was open to change. We wanted to explore what the space could be and use our broad design experience to bring in ideas that would add to its welcoming atmosphere. The rebuild would reconstruct the offices, conference rooms and children’s church area, and would add flex space, a daycare and a cafe.

Process.

Cross Point’s first task was to get the building cleaned up and the church running again. We had to prevent the structure from flooding and shield it from the elements, so construction and design were occurring simultaneously. In some places, we were able to turn the destruction into design, adding architectural elements that let in more natural light and turning the torn-out center of the building into an internal courtyard.

Execution.

Paradym was proud to help Cross Point Church recover and rebuild after the tornado. Our range of abilities allowed us to do more than disaster restoration or church architecture; we gave them state-of-the-art office space, a cozy cafe, and homey but highly functional flex space and daycare facilities. Because we took the time to understand their point of view, their purpose and the challenge before them, we could deliver plans that met their needs and exceeded their expectations.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Maximized Space for a Mixed-Use Property.

TenEx is a mixed-use building with a range of tenants. Half of the structure will be home to a Cross-Fit gym, and its neighbors will be a swim academy (with a large indoor pool, of course) and an office suite. The structure started out as a PEMB—a pre-engineered metal building—so it was truly a blank slate.

  • Client: Developer Name
  • Category: Mixed-Use
  • Square footage: 24,000 SF
  • Year built: 2023
  • Location: Nolensville, TN

Request more information

Vision.

Our client wanted to warm up TenEx’s PEMB framework with cool, contemporary design. Brick, wood and glass would give the new building a distinctive and modern but not overly industrial look.

Process.

Developing TenEx was also an exercise in space maximization, both inside and outside, and meeting water quality standards. Because the building took up most of the buildable acreage, rainwater filtration and collection options were limited, and Nolensville has particularly prudent requirements for water runoff.

Execution.

This project has been a true collaboration between Paradym, the developer, the building’s future tenants, engineers and the construction company. It’s currently under construction, and we’re happy to have this unique mixed-use center in our portfolio.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A Collaborative Space for Tech Industry Professionals.

Saltworks, a Georgia-based application security consulting firm, was looking for a location in Middle Tennessee for their new development headquarters. They chose Paradym to create an industrial, contemporary space that will attract new hires from Tennessee’s largest university, Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).

The design offers industrial textural finishes using warm reclaimed wood, concrete and metals with pops of their corporate color. Paradym used dynamic ceilings and lighting to define different spaces within the open office.

Paradym strategically emphasized the top floor views by creating a corner living and game room, and centralized work café to anchor the departments and further reinforce their social corporate culture.

  • Client: Saltworks
  • Category: Office
  • Square footage: 4,700 SF
  • Year built: 2020
  • Location: Murfreesboro, TN

Vision.

The execs at Saltworks envisioned a modern industrial workspace with touches of their brand’s bright green and plenty of room for focused individual work, collaborative group sessions and an open common area/break room. Glass and concrete elements would bring the clean, open look they pictured, while neutral textiles and natural textures could provide team members with an inviting, inspiring work environment.

Process.

Because the office space was ready for buildout, Paradym went straight to work on space plans and mood boards. Saltworks stakeholders were particularly interested in the opportunities for space definition, so Paradym used 3D renderings and virtual reality to present options.

Execution.

No structural renovations were necessary in the brand-new building, but Paradym guided Saltworks through the development process with value engineering—choosing finishes and making other design decisions based on priority and budget.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

An Updated HQ for a Real Estate Group.

Keller Williams Franklin needed to refresh their 11,000-square-foot office space and make it more functional for their staff and agents. The front, client-facing end of the building would get a total renovation, while the remaining areas would be cosmetically updated. 

  • Client: Keller Williams Franklin
  • Category: Office Space
  • Square footage: 11,000 SF
  • Year built: 2019
  • Location: Franklin, TN

Vision.

Our client was hoping for a brighter, more open, more comfortable place for their agents to work and meet with clients, so we planned a full redesign for the reception area, conference rooms and agent lounge. We would bring in more natural light, then raise the ceilings and incorporate architectural glass walls to allow the light to flow through the space. Making the office a convenient and functional place for agents would reach beyond aesthetics and furnishings, though; every space would be tech-forward and built for productivity.

Process.

We gutted and renovated the 3,000 square feet at the front of the building, overhauling the reception area and redesigning the conference rooms and agent lounge. The remaining 8,000 square feet was situated behind this client-facing space. It housed offices and only needed restyling: carpet, paint and furniture.

Execution.

It was important to learn how the Keller Williams Franklin agents worked, because an updated office should be stylish and interesting but also efficient. That meant effective space planning, with room for large meetings, small groups and private conversations—all with the latest technology. We kept touches of their brand red and introduced wood tones, black metal, angles and lots of glass. The result was a fresh and functional local HQ that met our clients goals on a modest budget.
