Conceived as an urban Eden, Hardison House is an adaptive-reuse project that reimagines an old propane distribution center as a verdant and inspiring space. The design intent of Hardison House was guided by themes such as “honest, raw, vulnerable, real, creative, and connected.” Spaces are filled with natural light and natural materials. There are five different meeting and event spaces at Hardison House, many of which can be combined and/or configured to meet the needs of guests. Most of the furnishings and art throughout the space are the creations of craftspeople and artists of Middle Tennessee.
