Architecture, home additions, lake renovations and commercial design for Old Hickory village homes, lakefront lots and corridor businesses.
Old Hickory has a historic village feel, with older homes, lakefront properties and neighborhoods near Old Hickory Boulevard, Robinson Road and Hadley Bend. Owners often want to keep the character and update how the house lives.
Village homes may need careful repairs and additions, while lakefront lots call for shoreline, flood and drainage review. Small commercial properties benefit from simple layouts and quick approvals.
Calls often start with a historic house or a lot with a view of the water.
We begin with a visit and a clear scope. We begin with a Free Estimate, look at your property and your goals and write a clear scope, so you know exactly what the design work includes before drawings begin.
Every Music City Architect project starts with a conversation and a careful look: the property, the building and the way you use the space. You get a written estimate, a clear schedule and one contact for questions, and we keep drawings and decisions clear from start to finish.

You tell us what you want to build or fix, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We look at the property or building, take measurements, talk through goals and note anything that affects design, such as slopes, structure and rules.
We sketch plans and options, you choose a direction and receive a plain written scope before detailed design begins.
We refine the design, coordinate engineers and prepare drawings and notes that builders can price and reviewers can approve.
We submit for permits, answer comments and help you compare builder proposals.
We answer questions during construction, review products, visit the site and walk through the finished work with you.
Yes. We design, plan, renovate and add to homes and commercial buildings in Old Hickory and across Davidson County and nearby communities, from a single room to a whole building.

A written estimate listing the phases, the deliverables, the consultants, the meetings and the schedule, so you can compare proposals on equal terms.
