Title: Downtown Plaid, Magnolia Room and Wonderland Botanical

Client: Giarratana for The 505 Nashville

Location: 7th and 8th Floor Amenity Deck restrooms, 505 Church Street, Nashville, TN, 37219

Dimensions: Unspecified

Concept: Custom wall coverings to create a sense of place and style, specific to The 505, a premiere residential skyscraper in downtown Nashville. Each unique wallcovering design was created from original artwork.

This column is a product of collaboration at its finest. Based on an original drawing from my Downtown Series, New Hat, a local surface design firm reinterpreted the composition and unique marking into a hand-pressed tile manufactured by Red Rock Tileworks, another local, female owned operation. The collaboration was also first conceived by Iva Design Studio for the great development team at Giarratana, LLC.

This site-specific mosaic is a result of a special collaboration with Iva Design Studio for the Elevator Lobby of a new residential high rise in Nashville, TN called The Alcove. We worked with Artaic in Boston to translate my design into 3/4” inch tiles to create a site specific work of art for the space and its residents. Developed by Giarratana, LLC.

For this country music star’s nursery in Forest Hills, I designed a modern geometric mural that brings both warmth and sophistication into the space. The repeating triangular pattern adds a sense of rhythm and movement while still feeling serene and balanced, perfectly complementing the natural textures and calming palette of the room. My goal was to create a backdrop that felt playful enough for a child’s space yet timeless enough to grow with them, blending artistry with a cozy, livable design.
