Just off 8th Ave in South Nashville, the Elliott Urban Homes development will soon take shape, bringing a modern and thoughtfully designed residential community to the area. This project features 18 contemporary townhomes, each offering four bedrooms and four bathrooms, along with a versatile flex space that can adapt to various lifestyle needs. A private rooftop deck provides the perfect setting for entertaining, offering residents a unique outdoor retreat with views of the city. Combining style, functionality, and urban convenience, Elliott Urban Homes is designed for those seeking a dynamic living experience in one of Nashville’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
The Architecture of Elliott Urban Homes
Elliott Urban Homes uses modern architecture’s form and geometry to define each unit’s identity. The cantilevered balconies at the front emphasize the living room and primary bedroom. This tube-like structure allows each townhome to stand out as an individual home, despite being part of a townhome configuration. The illustration below highlights the square “tube” in red, showing how the tubes remain distinct. This separation, combined with the cantilever and scale, enhances the individualistic effect.
Inside the Urban Homes at Elliott Ave
The living, dining, and kitchen spaces make up the lower section (second level) of the “tube.” Below, you can see the long cylindrical space extends into the interior, and living, dining, and kitchen spaces occupy the lower section (second level) of the “tube.” Below, the long cylindrical space extends into the interior, linking the front of the unit to the rear.

Nashville Urban Home Material Selections
The project is currently exploring a high-contrast color palette to enhance the three-dimensional appearance and emphasize the units’ form.
Dark Brick
Chocolate or black in color, the brick will likely be stained rather than painted. Staining is typically more cost-effective than using dark brick while offering greater durability than paint. Since the stain absorbs into the brick, it preserves the natural texture and extends its lifespan.
Wood Trim and Decks
A newly introduced product is under consideration for the wood highlights. Modern Mill, a company specializing in synthetic wood products, offers a material designed to be more durable than natural wood while avoiding the plastic texture found in most synthetic alternatives.
