Warner Music Nashville, Warner Chappell Music

Client: Warner Music Group

United States

The new Warner Chappell Music office harkens back to the residential bungalows that historically housed publishing houses and record labels on Music Row with a warm and nurturing palette that features polished concrete floors, deep green walls, and coffered ceilings. Walnut wood built-ins and eclectic vintage rugs add texture and comfort. On the ground floor, an open concept living, dining and kitchen space serve as a central organising element. The adjacent ‘Pub’ serves as a listening room, performance and meeting space. Twelve writer’s rooms and a writer’s lounge support artists.

Warner Music Nashville, the country label of Warner Music Group, is reimagined with a double-height Performance Space wrapped in black wood slat walls at its heart. A new state-of-the-art recording studio, listening rooms, green rooms, and artist lounges provide space for content creation, more intimate performances, entertainment and artist meetings. The new performance space was created through the design team’s innovative idea of carving into the parking garage built into the base of the building behind the entry to provide a greater, more dramatic performance space to be on display immediately upon entrance into the building.
