Designed in 2008 after Hurricane Katrina, the construction of this single-family house started in 2011 and was completed in 2018.
Situated in the historic fabric of the city of New Orleans, the project considers the identity of a place as something in flux rather than immutable.
The project adapts to the specificity of the context by using adequate materials for a subtropical climate and state of the art contemporary construction methods.
Most importantly, the project responds to our current way of life.
In 2009, this project received the AIA New Orleans: Project Design Excellence Award
