HGOR collaborated with Duda Paine Architects to win the invitation-only competition to develop a master plan for Franklin Park in Franklin, Tennessee.

Over the past twenty years Franklin had emerged as the leading suburban Nashville office market. The competition challenge was to examine current forms of development in the area and develop a plan that would establish the new standard for Class A office space moving forward.

The master plan focuses on defining a complete sense of unity and place that will establish market identity. The site exhibited two defined ridge lines separated by a broad floodplain. The master plan places five- ten story office buildings along the larger ridge and two hundred and sixty residential units on the smaller. Each of the building’s focus is a nine acre park which follows the rolling topography across the flood plain and unifies the property into a strong, discernible place.

Conceptualized as the defining feature of a seventy acre mixed use development the “Park“ blends private and civic space with business and environmental goals in a manner which adds value through the principles of place. The eleven acre park is bounded by buildings fronting on a network of complete streets which provide open views and a porosity of access for tenets and residents along with the larger community.

The plan provides over two miles of interconnected walkways to amenities including a great lawn, a pavilion, a five hundred seat amphitheater and a two acre pond carefully encapsulated into the rolling terrain.

Design attention to stormwater resource management incorporates strategies that include fore bays, infiltration and bio-retention as both aesthetic and key environmental features.

The park exemplifies Franklin Park’s goal of creating great places for people, within sound economic considerations that provide an ethic of environmental stewardship for future generations.

The Park comprises five distinct layers woven into the overall composition. Canopy, ground plan, circulation, stormwater resources and topography are designed and carefully manipulated with respect to each of the subsequent layers.

The resulting composite creates a comfortable, people-orientated composition which respects and supports the land and natural system of the rolling Tennessee landscape.
