FEATURED PROJECTS
Every project is unique...
Every room is an experience...
Every detail matters...
A RICH & MODERN FARMHOUSE
Nantucket is our Nashville clients’ happy place. We were asked to find a way to bring the rich, yet highly specific Nantucket feel to their Nashville home. Our focus was ensuring family and functionality were spotlighted in this unique design. To accomplish our objective while staying true to their Nantucket roots, we ensured every inch of this fabulous home was filled with texture, balance, and serenity. The calming muted tones are enhanced by rich wood colors and accented by soft earth tones. Nantucket, meet Nashville!
THE FATHERLAND
Our signature project went from a damaged, early 1900s Nashville church to a newly, completely renovated and unique home to a music management firm. MDS spent two years designing and renovating this beautiful building and recently won the 2022 Commercial Preservation Award.
Every room has been uniquely designed from the bell tower stained glass windows, to the stunning sanctuary fireplace inspired by French chateaux, to the custom bookshelves that house first edition American, French and Italian literature. No detail was left spared.
WILDER ON TYNE
A beautiful family needed a beautiful home. As with any family, there was a story to be told. Our challenge was ensuring we brought history into this modern home. We accomplished this objective through specific design elements, antique furniture, and features that remind our client of the environments and history that formed them. The clean lines and soft edges allow the architecture to be enhanced with natural light throughout the day, providing a canvas for them to continue to build their story.
THE PEARL DIVER -
A DIVERS BAR
A bar located in the Eastern district of downtown Nashville, The Pearl Diver has been recognized as one of the top 10 bars in Nashville. An upscale Polynesian tiki bar with a dash of retro elegance, we were asked to take a classic mechanic shop and create an exclusive destination for locals and visitors in Nashville, TN. Mission: Accomplished. Filled with tropical antique tchotchkes, epi wood, and design specific tropical wallpaper, The Pearl Diver transports you to an old-time island hangout with modern day functionality.
STEEPLECHASE -
A BRENTWOOD BEAUTY
Our client’s vision was to create a more spacious feel to be able to entertain without raising the ceiling of the home. A full remodel was needed to open up the main living space. While exploring the functionality of the space we found that this 1970’s ranch offered a beautiful metal and wood floating staircase. In order to spotlight this beautiful feature, we removed walls, created a neutral palette, and ensured the focus of the space is the personality of the hosts and to provide an experience to dive into.
BERMAN -
ORGANIC NASH
A unique California style requires an organic feel in an industrial style space. With a clean vaulted ceiling, book-matched tiger white oak cabinet doors, and a glazed steel hood and island, we were able to transform this space into a California dream. With crisp dark features accented by soft brown highlights, the vision of our client was brought to life in a way that is inviting to individuals with multiple tastes.
DEVORE -
FRANKLIN FLAVOR
When the footprint of the space is smaller than the vision of the client, you find a way to foster creativity by allowing their imagination to expand beyond the physical space. We took a compartmentalized home built in the 1980’s and removed the confines the walls created. By beginning the experience with the exterior and providing pristine backyard views, we ensured the walls were not a limiting factor. By using earth tones on the interior, we were able to make sure the serene feeling of the home was seamless when entering or exiting the space.
