Architect reveals secrets to designing city's most iconic buildings

2024 marks our 40th year of creating shared experiences by connecting people with the greater region of Nashville and bringing a meaningful narrative through unforgettable structures.

“When you look at a project, it’s not just about the project itself and what’s going to make the best office building or the best museum, but how does that integrate to the whole and make it better?”

— Mary Roskilly

Our partners, Mary Roskilly, Chuck Miller, and Joshua Hughes, sat down with Nashville Business Journal to discuss our firms various iconic designs throughout the city of Nashville including Frist, Country Music Hall of Fame, and Music City Center. After 40 years, creating a narrative that weaves history or a clients story while creating an innovative and durable structure to stand the test of time, is a main pillar within Anecdote’s ethos. Our recent projects like Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, 1030 Music Row, and Community Foundation shows how the firm is growing and evolving with Nashville.

“Some buildings like big-box retail, you don’t know how long it’s going to be utilized. Materials stand for years beyond the 20-year life cycle of these buildings, but the concept of what’s going in there may not transcend or connect with the people who are using it”
