Alta Foundry






Live Where Nashville’s Going Next


A stone’s throw from Nashville’s rapidly developing Charlotte Avenue, Alta Foundry is an apartment community that offers residents both a distinct environment and swift access to the city’s best.


Formerly the industrial heart of the city, the surrounding area is now home to a growing community—including craft breweries, distilleries, and a world-class music venue. Rooted in possibility and designed for tomorrow’s Nashville, Alta Foundry is the apartment community known for welcome seclusion amidst a redefined, burgeoning neighborhood.

Taking cues from the city’s influential history in letterpress printing, the identity system is rooted in strong typography that feels hand-forged and meticously set.

The brand colors center around a hardy, yet versatile orange that is grounded by a rich plum, and timeless ivory palette. Akin to the neighborhod, the colors balances between respite and hard-working.






While exploring the neighborhood, we also discovered it’s pioneering past as a small community that hunted and lived off the land. As a nod, a hand-drawn pointer dog became the community hero—a symbol of direction, charm and independence for a neighborhood that prides itself on doing things their own way.

And of course, Alta Foundry is also pet friendly.







A simple wayfinding system was created to work in harmony with the building’s planned designs and amenities.
