Vaulted House Renovation, New Orleans
The home located in the suburbs of New Orleans had a low ceiling that provided its exterior (and interior) with an aesthetic (and proportion) that was familiar to other mid-century homes built in this region but lacked many of the components that often distinguish these homes as remarkable works of architecture. Instead, the home favored functionality and formality in keeping with the regional client expectations of that time.

HOUSEofCARDS, Arnaudville
This design/build project in Arnaudville was conceived as a folly on a rural piece of land and serves as an artist’s retreat for a non-profit community organization. The concept is that of a 16’x16’ self-sufficient Thoreau’s Cabin on a Cajun Walden Pond. Concrete was chosen as the primary material for its longevity and durability.

Gator House in Ventress
Historically, buildings in southern Louisiana were forced to employ every manner of passive systems to mediate their physical environment to the greatest extent possible. In the modern era, most buildings in this wet, hot, humid, and often volatile climate seek to resist the extreme conditions by creating a presumed impenetrable barrier.

Pecan House, Saint Gabriel
Pecan House is a home on a pastoral country site outside of Baton Rouge required a major renovation and addition. The owners wished for the relocated 1930’s Acadian bungalow’s small rooms to open up for contemporary open-plan living, new back porches, a large main bedroom suite, and views from inside the home to the property’s beautiful pastoral landscape.

Down a ten foot wide country lane in the outskirts of the bedroom community of Zachary, LA sits Fontana Place. Built on a mound to keep it dry in the ten acres of terra viscus where it is located, the project is more than just a home for a young family.
