Nature Nurtures

Inspired by the passionflower, Tennessee’s state wildflower and nicknamed the ‘maypop’, Betsy & Austin Littrell founded Maypop Building Workshop in 2019 as an architecture and construction firm specializing in sustainable, design-driven projects in and around Nashville, TN. Our focus on 'low carbon, high performance' projects leverages the genius of nature in the design of our building assemblies to provide healthy, high performance homes. Like its namesake, Maypop Building Workshop is working to be aggressively resilient, ecologically restorative, and viscerally inspiring while celebrating the bounty and the beauty Middle Tennessee has to offer.

Design Matters

Design is a transformative tool. By leveraging its impact we believe green homes, productive landscapes and resilient communities can celebrate daily life with direct environmental, economic and social benefits. We make design decisions through this lens and pride ourselves on exceptional creative problem skills.

Keep Craft Alive

From our ground-up homes to our custom carpentry projects, dedication to detail is a consistent in all of our works. We employ and collaborate with talented craftspeople that take great pride in their work and it is evident in our projects. We're proud to provide living wages to deserving teammates and partners and our focus on quality over quantity translates to beautiful, healthy homes.
