Services
Nine12 Architects provides architectural design services centered on residential projects. The firm’s services include new construction design, what it calls “transformative renovations,” and developer projects. Its portfolio and project experience include historic house additions and renovations, detached accessory dwelling units, attic conversions, interior renovations, backyard studios, new houses, and developments. The firm also references commercial structures, such as a garage with a studio or short-term rental apartment, and notes experience working within historic Nashville neighborhoods. The website organizes the firm’s offerings across dedicated pages for services, portfolio, process, new houses, historic additions, and developer projects, along with FAQs and testimonials.
The firm emphasizes “Completely Custom Design,” stating that “nothing is reused or a stock plan,” and provides detailed drawings that translate client ideas into buildable documents. Nine12 Architects highlights direct architect involvement throughout each project and budget-conscious design tied to a client’s spending capacity. The firm is also clear about the limits of its scope: it states that it does not provide construction or general contracting services, interior design such as fixtures and finish selections, project delegation to drafters or project managers, or detailed cost estimates, recommending that clients consult builders separately for pricing. The firm does, however, assist clients in hiring builders.
The firm describes a five-phase design process. Pre-Design begins with a list of client needs, space requirements, and relationships, and includes an initial interview, documenting existing structures, researching applicable codes, and measuring, surveying, and photographing conditions. Schematic Design explores design concepts through sketches and digital plans across multiple client meetings. Design Development refines plans and elevations, determines materials and opening sizes, develops construction details, and applies for preservation permits in historic overlays. Construction Drawings produces detailed drawings and notes and includes a pre-construction meeting. Contract Administration keeps the firm available during construction to address questions and check on progress.
About
According to the firm, both principals have more than ten years of architecture experience in Nashville and are graduates of the University of Notre Dame, where they met while studying abroad in Rome. The firm describes itself as being inspired in part by the frustrations the founders experienced during the renovation of their own historic home. The site references the firm reaching a ten-year milestone in 2026, and describes the principals as “Certified Nashville architects.” The practice positions itself around personalized, hands-on residential design rather than high-volume production work.
