Organic modern architecture
Homes shaped by site,
view, and life.

Frank Lloyd Wright
Selected work
Geometry in service of place.
Wilson Pike Modern opens beyond a deceptively small street presence to soaring ceilings, broad glass, and views of the Little Harpeth River.
Design approach
Every line begins with the land.
- 01Read the site
Landscape, approach, light, and distant views establish the architecture's first moves.
- 02Shape the experience
Geometry directs movement and gives each room a deliberate relationship to the outdoors.
- 03Connect inside and out
Glass, structure, and shelter are composed to bring nature into daily life.
The practice
Organic principles, distinctly modern homes.
Ryan Thewes established his Nashville practice in 2006. Wilson Pike Modern and Knoxville Modern show how each residence can respond to landscape, river views, and the experience of moving through the home.
