Smith Gee Studio

At Smith Gee Studio, we believe that great design is a truly holistic endeavor that meets our clients’ goals and contributes to a better community. That’s why we “connect the dots” by considering the neighborhood, the architecture and the interior spaces as we plan. Through a culture of collaboration, we assemble the right team of architects, urban planners and interior designers to create meaningful, timeless places that engage people, encourage interaction and stitch together communities.

People

Collaborative. Encouraging. Empowering. Fun. Our culture is a big reason why we’ve assembled a top-notch team of smart and creative people. We give everyone plenty of responsibility and help grow their skills. And we’ll cut loose now and then to keep the creative juices flowing.

Basically, we love what we do. And that’s a big reason why our clients love what we do for them.

Place

From master planning to interior design, from public sector to private development, from ground up to adaptive reuse, we have broad project experience with one common thread — we work passionately to create place while focusing on our client’s success.

Our award-winning work includes the Cummins Station Community Garden and Ryman Lofts, Nashville's first artist community. Whether a major civic structure or a small scale infill project, we love a challenge — along with our creative forward-thinking approach, we’re known for creating win-win solutions to entitlement, zoning and other real estate hurdles.

Community

As people who design neighborhoods, buildings, streetscapes and other assets that help define a community, we have a responsibility to be thoughtful and respectful. That’s why our approach centers on how our work integrates with the surrounding environment. We’re obligated to make our hometown community of Nashville a better place to live, work and play. Our staff assumes leadership positions on boards and commissions to help shape the future of Music City while preserving its past.
