Nestled in the heart of downtown Nashville, The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, redefines what it means to design for experience. For this award-winning property, CSI Creative brought the power of biophilic design outdoors—providing custom greenery that blurs the boundary between architecture and nature.
A Modern Expression of Biophilia in Hospitality Design
In today’s hospitality landscape, luxury isn’t just about finishes—it’s about feeling. Designers and architects are turning toward biophilic principles to create spaces that restore and inspire guests the moment they arrive. At The Joseph, that idea begins at the door.
The first green wall greets guests right by the main lobby entrance, offering an instant sense of calm amid the city’s energy. The second wall anchors the rooftop pool area, setting a lush, elevated tone for relaxation and social connection.
The green walls combined soft ferns, textured grasses, eucalyptus, structured boxwood, and trailing greenery, creating a dynamic, layered composition that feels lush and seamlessly integrated with The Joseph’s refined architectural palette.
Each installation was designed to perform and impress—a perfect fusion of aesthetics, durability, and code compliance.
Engineered for the Elements
The Joseph’s architecture demanded materials as resilient as they were refined. ThermaLeaf® foliage, inherently fire-rated, delivered the level of safety required in hospitality applications without compromising on visual fidelity. Meanwhile, PermaLeaf® greenery provided UV stability and fade resistance—crucial for outdoor exposure in the Tennessee sun.
By blending fire- and UV-rated technologies, the final installation performs beautifully in every condition—lush year-round, low-maintenance, and compliant with hospitality codes from top to base.
