Global firm Goettsch Partners (GP) has designed Alcove, a new residential tower in Nashville, Tennessee. Developed by Giarratana LLC, the project rises 34-stories and includes 356 residential units with a total of 375,800 square feet. The building features a rooftop game room, to pools, and several communal "alcoves."
Composed as a series of stacked and shifting cubes, the undulating form is grouped into four levels, each split into two sections. The residential units are designed to function as either apartments or condominiums; The project includes 32 studios, 224 one-bedroom units, and 100 two-bedroom units.
"The design of the project is driven by the developer’s goal of 'visually stimulating' architecture and the desire to create unique spaces and vantage points in the center of the building," said Vladimir Andrejevic, AIA, principal and senior project designer at GP in a statement. "In some cases, you will be able to step off the elevator and immediately overlook the city."

I can’t get onto the ‘stacked and randomly rotated boxes’ or ‘shifting plains analogy’ bandwagon. I get that we’re freeing ourselves from the exterior bearing support and everything. But this kind of thing just doesn’t posses a good narrative. Stacking boxes and rotating them? For what? For more challenging water-proofing details because that’s interesting and fun? For more impossible facade joint?
