Lovemans Building - Sasha Group

Chattanooga’s first department store, Lovemans, resided in the aptly named Lovemans building for more than 100 years. Located at 800 Market St., the building was constructed in 1880, solidifying it as an architectural cornerstone of downtown Chattanooga. Today, thanks to years of revitalization efforts, a series of tenants lease what is now mixed-use space, bringing life back to the stately building. 

Over the last few years, Tinker Ma has designed several updates to the common spaces throughout the 2nd floor, as well as a complete renovation and interior design for the Sasha Group. 

The team was tasked to modernize their office, while focusing on how the employees would best utilize each space. Stressing group collaboration, as well as purposeful workstations were top of mind when designing the layout. The color palette was kept simple, allowing the open industrial components to become part of the design, and using black as an accent color to highlight architectural elements.
