La tour Nashville conçue par SOM est Simpatico avec l'extérieur

Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) et M2 Development Partners ont récemment dévoilé les rendus de leur projet à usage mixte, le Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences, dans le quartier SoBro de Nashville, dans le Tennessee, a rapporté SOM. Le projet de 1.2 million de pieds carrés² development will include a Ritz-Carlton hotel, Ritz-Carlton residences, rental apartments, a rooftop restaurant and retail in 46- and 32-story towers. SOM said the design that balances transparent and opaque materials of glass and terracotta is "informed by biophilic principles — providing opportunities to connect with nature" and local building traditions. A series of wraparound terraces from which guests and residents can view city and river views draw inspiration from a Southern porch. The project is targeting LEED Gold certification and is slated to break ground along Korean Veterans Boulevard in early 2022.
