Illume

Project Details

Project Description

Illume is a collection of 77 residences located in the Gulch View neighborhood. Just minutes away from entertainment, shopping, and dining experiences, Illume is right near the action. The design concept stems from a City-on-the Hill, jewel-box experience set on the edge of downtown Nashville.

Illume’s design contrasts light and shadow, transparency and solid forms, as well as privacy and community. Sophisticated and elegant, this fresh modern architecture set within a lushly landscaped environment creates a sense of West Coast living in the heart of Nashville. Located in the city's most desirable urban neighborhood, Illume provides its owners with unique modern architecture and high-end amenities at an unexpectedly reasonable price point. The residencies transform throughout the day as the light and transparency vary. Crisp white lines emerge in the early morning while the glass reflects images of the city. Still, at sunset, the building looks different, with various lighting levels providing subtle texture to the façade.

Ceiling heights of over 10 feet with expansive glass windows give homes an open and airy feel. Custom stained flooring and natural accents complement a sophisticated color palette. Several residences offer double exposures for maximized natural light and views. A special selection of homes span across two stories with expansive glass curtain walls and soaring ceilings. Sustainability was also top of mind as the design incorporates energy-efficient HVAC systems, appliances, a green roof, and a stormwater treatment system.

The units at Illume have one of two perspectives: one set of units look out to the city while the other overlooks the private interior pool and lushly landscaped courtyard. Each unit incorporates natural lighting and large format windows to create an indoor/outdoor experience, and the cantilevered decks with custom steel screens provide privacy to all residents.
