CITY HOUSE
With an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients, Nashville’s City House infuses Italian cuisine with country style.
This space is a physical manifestation of James Beard Award-winning Chef Tandy Wilson’s culinary contrasts: Keep it simple, but keep it challenging. Keep it warm, but keep it fresh. Keep it old, but keep it new.
literally a house within the city. All of the contradictions came together to create the art direction. a simple cross-section of a house, then challenge it with an engraving of a tentacle. Capture the orange glow of a fiery pizza oven and snuff it with freshly cut produce. Take centuries old woodcuts and literally turn them on their heads.

MENU SYSTEM

We sourced and designed sheets that allowed 10 unique menus to be printed at a time, with only 1/4 in. waste on each side.
Those historic woodcuts of trout, beef, octopus, and vegetables create an omnivorous backdrop to City House’s ever-changing, locally sourced menu. Printed in house daily, it was important that each menu still retain a high-quality, handmade feel and create minimal waste.
