Gamble Design Collaborative

GDC is honored to be a part of this great team and be a small part of aiding The Refuge Center in making a difference in our community!

At GDC, we have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Embrey on several communities across Middle Tennessee. We are constantly blown away by the attention to detail they bring to every development. Their philosophy of creating spaces that people want to be in resonates strongly with GDC's goal of crafting exceptional spaces that serve as a foundation for creating genuine community. We are excited to be part of the upcoming phase of Legacy Pointe and contribute towards turning the vision into reality with Embrey.?

Congrats to the Harpeth Hotel on ranking in the Top 25 Hotels in the South: Readers’ Choice Awards 2024 by Condé Nast Traveler!

Delighted to be a member of the team that's aiding this remarkable company's growth in Middle Tennessee! This groundbreaking represents another stride in making their vision come true. (It also means we're getting closer to having our own double-double right here in Tennessee!)

Achieved approval for Phase 3 of our new community, Hidden Springs, in Smyrna, Tennessee! #davidweekley, #smyrna, #newconstruction

We are thrilled to witness the ongoing evolution of Legacy Pointe. Since the beginning, creating a sense of place has been our design process's top priority and central focus. To bring this concept to life requires collaborating with exceptional companies that recognize the significance of fostering a sense of community. Ashton Woods has a proven track record of establishing vibrant communities, and we are thankful to continue to be a part of shaping that vision. Ashton Woods Homes https://buff.ly/4dhM5Om

At GDC, we place a high value on the sense of community, particularly the remarkable community found in Franklin and its surrounding areas. We are firm believers that the most vibrant communities are those where individuals from all walks of life can coexist, work together, and prosper in unity. The availability of affordable housing and a diverse range of housing options play a crucial role in nurturing a sense of community, and we are proud to actively support a bright and flourishing Franklin. GDC has been fortunate to work on multiple affordable housing developments in our community (including this site) and work with some amazing partners along the way.

Special shoutout to our very own Keli Frymire, PLA who had an opportunity last month to share the Harpeth Square development with her planning colleagues in Florida.?She was invited to speak at a continuing education luncheon hosted by the Emerald Coast Section of the American Planning Association Florida. The development narrative discussed the project's vision, details for the entitlement and development process, and highlights the lasting impacts for the City of Franklin and the region.?The presentation was awarded two continuing education hours for historic preservation. ????

In our work as landscape architects and planners, we place great importance on the preservation of historical sites. This practice involves conserving a location's physical elements and safeguarding its cultural and historical value. By honoring past elements with present-day design, we can craft spaces that narrate a storied history and establish a connection between individuals and their heritage. Through a thoughtful design process, we can intentionally craft spaces that help future generations gain knowledge from history. Our involvement in historic preservation plays a vital role in shaping the constructed environment in a manner that shows respect and pays tribute to the legacy of those who came before us. Working on numerous historic sites across Franklin, GDC values the delicate balance between innovative ideas and preserving our rich heritage. #historicfranklin #preservation #thisislandscapearchitecture #design #communityengagement

We love this community! (We are also slightly biased!) Designing spaces in Franklin can be challenging because they hit so close to home for us. We often interact with these spaces daily and crafting places for people to live, work, and play within our own community can be extra rewarding to see them come to life day in and day out. #franklin #franklintn #friendliestcities #southernliving #landscapearchitecture #urbanplanning #design #placemaking
