Segment Townhomes & Flats

Located in Nashville’s Wedgewood Houston neighborhood, Segment is a 34-unit community of multi-story townhomes and stacked flat apartments spread across three buildings. Utilizing a façade that steps in-and-out along the sidewalk, MZA created a porous street edge for pedestrians and introduces plenty of natural light and ventilation inside the building.

The townhomes are corner units, rather than conventional rowhouses, allowing for privacy, exterior roof deck space, and pull-under parking. For the apartments, we paid homage to the industrial history of the neighborhood by using metal panel siding and commercial-style windows that look over the intersection of Merritt Avenue and Pillow Street.
