Nashville, TN

Senior Designer, S9 Architecture, 2019 - 2021

The distinctive Neuhoff site is located on the west bank of the Cumberland River in the eastern section of Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood. The property was constructed in the early 1920’s as a meat-packing facility and later served as mixed-use space, housing the Nashville Jazz Workshop and the Nashville Cultural Arts Project among others.

Neuhoff New City Design reinvent the site as a mixed-use waterfront development with city-defining architecture as a key feature. Neuhoff new city features the adaptive reuse of the prominent curved building on the site and the use of “as much of the historic fabric on the site as possible.” The project’s other main goals include maintaining The slaughterhouse buildings, as well as creating public access to the river.

The Heart of the project is a 15 floors 200 feet tall office comprising two separate volumes which are connected through a bridge resembling the industrial elements of the Local CrainS. Building A&B are planned to be built in two phases.

The principal design of the project is based on four design stages: Icon, Stack, stepping & connection. Completion of the project’s first stage is expected in the second half of this year.

The entrance into the office Lobby is located in a new plaza between blocks 1 & 2. There is also more than 7,500 SF of retail space with access to the plaza. The office space on the floors above have amenity terraces that takes advantage of the building’s architecture.

Abandoned for half a century, the sprawling Neuhoff meatpacking complex is poised to become an exciting new part of Nashville’s resurgence. The Project is re-envisioning the riverfront property with a comprehensive design that retains and re-purposes much of the existing buildings, and also strategically incorporates new construction throughout the site. The master plan features a connective network of pedestrian pathways,courtyards, public roof terraces, and cantilevered catwalks that create a memorable series of environmental experiences for visitors to the compound. The 1.3-millionsquare-foot project houses a vibrant mix of offices, cultural spaces, residential units, and retail/dining establishments all designed to culture a new community.

Block 1 consists of the mixed-use Office. The 14-story structure will feature a stepped design with views of the Cumberland River. It will also bridge over Adams Street and connect to the building in Block 3. The Industrial Typology Block 1 is an organic evolution of the Germantown community: “The historic reason behind its existence—the slaughterhouse—and also experience its incredible access to the riverfront.”

The basement and first level of the curved building is divided into 3 zones. On the basement level: Zone A proposes an expansive food hall concept which opens up to Level 1. Zone B proposes shell space for a future gym that also opens up to level 1. It also includes a retail shell which opens up to an outdoor plaza. Zone C primarily consists of the outdoor plaza on this level. There is also a large retail shell space with access to an exterior catwalk which overlooks the river.

The proposed new development in the Al Mansoura district is anticipated to be more adaptive and sensitive to the changing economics of Doha, and aims to be a world-class destination in its own right, attracting an array of people from across the economic spectrum. The Design Principal is based on the notion of “Ribbons,” is formed by a structure consisting of a continuous ribbon, that is inspired by forms existing in the natural world along with Qatari screen motifs. The public is able to meander through an open and extended courtyard, which connects the two planned station entrances serving both residents and the general public. This option envisions the south entrance as per QR standard, and the north entrance as part of the project enclosure. The main opening resembles an arena, borrowing aspects from the Arabic streets cape

Design + Deliverability Competition, Finalist

The Convergence Design includes new below grade direct access to the Lincoln Tunnel for Buses and trucks without engaging the street grid. This new access and connection to the existing tunnels, right at the threshold to the city, is within the footprint of the Javits Center. The area and geometry required for new tunnel connection is readily constructed away from the water’s edge below grade within the Javits property. Buses and trucks go directly to the terminal or storage and out of view. This strategic improvement will have a positive impact as it separates cars and buses/trucks before they enter the city, vastly improving the arrival experience. This results in an efficient layout for the bus terminal with clear and direct circulation routes in and out of the city.

“Huishan North Bund represents an increasingly important typology of urban architecture: waterfront regeneration. Throughout the world, cities are rediscovering and re-imagining their neglected and underutilized waterfronts. As former maritime facilities and working waterfronts are redeveloped to become vibrant, waterside communities, the public at large is also being invited back to the water’s edge,to enjoy riverfronts and harbor fronts —arguably any city’s most valuable natural assets.”

The project embodies several design principles for “open transit,” beginning with its compression into a dense, high-quality series of interconnected experiences.

This density created comfortable walking distances with clear sight lines, bringing the varying transit modes together; opened up the rest of the site to allow for future development; allowed for an iconic station canopy and amphitheater as its centerpiece; brought the transit and cultural users together in one shared space.
