Bad Idea, a restaurant and bar in East Nashville, was an innovative project dedicated to revitalizing and modernizing a historic landmark building formerly serving as a sanctuary. Bad Idea partnered with Henricksen to lead procurement, project management, installation, and specification services for various aspects of the building's interior design.

The project's scope involved sourcing and installing high-quality ancillary furniture, lighting fixtures, and seating options that not only complemented the building's historic architecture but also infused a modern touch into its interior. Additionally, the project included sourcing and installing furniture pieces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

With a strong emphasis on preserving the building's historic integrity, while incorporating contemporary design elements into its interior, the Bad Idea project highlights Henricksen's ability to manage intricate and demanding restoration projects. Through the meticulous curation of each piece of furniture, lighting, and seating, the project created a seamless fusion of past and present, breathing new life into this iconic landmark.
