PROJECT DESCRIPTION
101 Platform Way North is an office tower for an internationally-recognized brand, designed to highlight the regional nuances of Nashville. Branded “Natively Nashville”, it honors three different aspects of the city: people, places, and wide-open spaces. The first five floors celebrate the people that make Nashville unique: musicians, artists, and artisans. The mid-rise floors commemorate the places, with iconic examples such as dive bars, art galleries, and museums. The remaining floors are dedicated to Nashville’s geographical features: waterfalls, trails, and bluffs.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• 2023 Illuminating Engineering Society‘s (IES) Illumination Award Award of Merit Winner.
• Utilizes a lighting schema that differs among each of the 20 floors, bolstering each of the floors’ unique themes, which all work together under one cohesive, thematic umbrella.
• An eclectic luminaire portfolio, concentrated in the elevator lobbies and amenity areas, amounts to nearly 200 different luminaires.
• The design and tenant teams worked closely together to reduce energy use intensity (EUI) for the tower based on tenant corporate carbon reduction goals.
• Telecommunications entrance and pathways include redundancy for the tower. The design provides resiliency for the tenant business operations. Telecommunications pathways were designed and coordinated to be efficient, yet discreet within the architectural design.
• Audiovisual systems design for the space includes video presentation equipment, content collaboration equipment, sound reinforcement, and digital signage.
  Security systems design including electronic video surveillance and electronic access control are throughout without being obtrusive to the architectural appeal.
