PIVOTstudio

Songteller is officially open! 🦋✨🎶 Congratulations to Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel and Herschend Family Entertainment on the grand opening of Dolly Parton’s Songteller Hotel!

PIVOTstudio was so proud to be a part of this journey from the beginning - activating every discipline in our studio to transform an office building into Dolly’s love letter to Nashville. What a rewarding process it was to capture the ever-present persona of Dolly Parton as a celebrity, icon, and most importantly a legendary songteller, throughout each of the iconic spaces.

Our architects, graphic designers and interior designers came together and poured their creativity into every detail. We each left a bit of hearts in Nashville. 🩷

Thank you to our incredible vendor partners for bringing the Pixie Patch Planting party to PIVOT and making it such a fun, inspiring event.

Special thanks to Kayla Malone, Erin Rink, Brian Fortin, Jennifer Okunski Geyer, and Carolyn Nesline for sharing your time, expertise, and passion with our team.

We’re grateful for the inspiration, the introduction to new and innovative materials, and the continued partnership that helps bring our design visions to life. Here’s to collaboration, creativity, and growing ideas together 🪴

Under construction, but already making a statement🌴

The future JW Marriott Downtown Naples Hotel and Conference Center is taking shape – which will be defined by a graceful curved exterior and a dramatic front water feature that will set the tone for arrival.

On site, the hotel is becoming reality as foundations are poured and the structure begins to rise – laying the groundwork for everything to come, including a spa, pool, restaurant, bar, fitness, retail, and meeting spaces.

Still in progress, but the foundation is clear: a destination where architecture, experience, and place come together seamlessly. Stay tuned as this project comes to life!

Last month, we gathered at for a studio retreat and a day to step away from our computers and lean into what matters most – collaboration, creativity, and each other. From sharing the incredible work our team brought to life this past year to dreaming big about what’s ahead, the energy in the room was undeniable.

We took time to recognize the people who make it all happen, because great work starts with a great team. And of course, we stayed fueled throughout the day the best way we know how – together, over pizza, tacos, and sweet treats.

Feeling grounded in what we’ve built and inspired for what’s next!
