At Firma, elevated design is our hallmark, but personalized service is our not-so-secret weapon. Ours is a boutique firm, and we believe it’s this small scale—coupled with our project experience and sophisticated aesthetic—that makes Firma unique within the Nashville market and the larger southeast. Firma’s tight, nimble structure ensures that each client receives extremely personal service with the highest level of quality maintained throughout every phase of a project. We think by zooming out—taking into account a site’s multidimensional context—and yet our attention to detail is exhaustive. We sketch by hand. We pivot easily to address challenges. We meet the needs of our clients with creative solutions and answered phone calls.
