UNION TERRACE

Located in the heart of Nashville’s business district, Union Terrace re-envisions an existing public plaza on top of a parking garage.  The design negotiates the space between a commercial building and a hotel by creating a unified space with a new paving pattern, precast concrete planters and pergolas.  A series of  illuminated corten panels are located at both ends of the plaza to create a welcoming entrance into the space.  Precast concrete planters provide soil depth for native plants while also creating a variety of seating opportunities for the plaza users.  At night, the lighting approach creates a warm and inviting environment which highlights the various design elements.
