Lifestyle Design – Spaces That Meld Work, Play and Leisure
Summer exudes lifestyle with its cookouts, pool parties, vacations and long sunny days. But summer shouldn’t hold a monopoly on lifestyle. At HOK, our Lifestyle Studio explores ways to enhance everyday living across the seasons and across space types.
Transcending traditional boundaries, we seamlessly integrate lifestyle elements from various sectors—workplace, sports, recreation, entertainment, hospitality and residential—to enrich the human experience.
So, what does “lifestyle” look like away from the beach, the club, the backyard grill? And how is HOK redefining lifestyle by incorporating it into non-traditional spaces?
Below are 5 projects and ideas that showcase the vision and design thinking behind our Lifestyle Studio.
Four Seasons Private Residences Nashville – Case Study
Inspired by the history and culture of Nashville and the renowned hospitality of Four Seasons, the private residences blend modern and classic design to create a luxurious and unforgettable experience for residents and guests. The HOK-designed interior includes an entire amenity floor with a dedicated fitness center, dog spa, media studio, private dining room and lounge, and an outdoor terrace with fire pits and cabanas. The downtown tower has quickly become Nashville's premier residential address. Read more.
Many urban office towers were originally designed almost as citadels. The purpose of the plaza was to separate the tower from the streetscape and create a formal entryway to the building. HOK’s Zach Christeson proposes that building owners flip the script by taking space that had been empty and unwelcoming and giving it back to the public realm: inviting people into the space rather than signaling them to stay out.

HOK’s Caitlin Turner and Kristina Kamenar share how they apply stylization to create moments of joy and awe. Discover more.
