For Truce, a new fast-casual restaurant in Franklin, Tennessee, Powell set out to create a space that feels as fresh and considered as the food itself. The design elevates the familiar fast-casual experience through a sophisticated approach to color, material, and detail—approachable enough for everyday dining, but with the polish of a full-service restaurant.

A palette of farm-fresh greens punctuated by pops of sunny yellow sets the tone, drawing subtle inspiration from the ingredients at the heart of the menu. Warm woods, natural textures, tailored upholstery, and crisp architectural details soften the saturated color story, giving the restaurant a layered, collected quality rather than a traditionally commercial feel.

Throughout the space, Powell balanced efficiency with hospitality. Thoughtful lighting, custom millwork, and a mix of seating types create intimate moments within the larger dining room, while clear circulation keeps the experience intuitive and energetic. The result is a sophisticated fast-casual restaurant that feels bright, welcoming, and distinctly modern.

Located in Franklin’s Cool Springs community, Truce reflects Powell’s approach to restaurant and hospitality interior design: creating spaces where brand, function, and atmosphere work together seamlessly. Fresh without feeling trendy, the design gives Truce a memorable identity rooted in color, comfort, and a modern interpretation of casual dining.
