A GEM IN THE SKY Trace Ventures Creates Warmth, Depth and Sophistication in The 505 Written by Genevieve Moore / Photographed by Andrew Schmidbauer Warm hues of wood accents, soft beiges and creamy organics flourish amongst the natural background of crisp blue skies and milky white clouds on the 39th floor of The 505 building. Residing on the corner of Church Street and 5th Avenue in downtown Nashville, Dawn and Russ Nelson created a home with just the right amount of comfort, style, and ‘wow’ moments. After relocating from California to Nashville, the Nelsons found the perfect marriage of downtown city living with the comfort and appeal of southern hospitality in the 505 high-rise. What was originally two separate units next door to one another, the Nelsons decided to combine to create a custom home that not only resonates warmth and light, but utilizes every square foot to optimize both style and function. Knowing they would need a strategic partner to help customize their vision, after careful consideration, Trace Ventures, a local award-winning concierge design and build firm, was brought in to oversee the consolidation and remodeling of the two units. Trace Ventures, founded in 1991 by Art and Martha Stinson, continues to honor and maintain the Stinson’s mission statement and vision for the company. Now under the ownership of Clearbrook Holdings, the company still exudes the founding family’s mission of creating a boutique, fully-customized experience for each and every client. The firm has grown over the decades and is continuing to do so with gumption and pride. Mark Holliday, President of Trace Ventures, leads a well-curated team of experts in their field to best execute each and every project above and beyond expected high-end standards. 66 slmag.net
