Will Gant, Michael Brudi and Carly Le from United States
We are a small studio of designers in Nashville, Tennessee. We started in 2020 and have focused locally on custom houses and small commercial work—including a bar, fitness studio, and hair salon.
To us, good architecture means using common, modest materials and methods in thoughtful and unexpected ways. Designs that are affordable, constructable, down-to-earth, but feature moments of strong aesthetic scrutiny. An important role of an architect is to synthesize different perspectives— developer and environmentalist, realist and artist, codes and imagination, familiar and one-of-a-kind. Practicing architecture may be more of a balancing act than a stacking contest.
We enter competitions to explore spatial ideas more freely. To speak up and ask questions. We have found the process eye-opening and encourage all those curious about space, shelter, enclosure to do the same.
