Perrier Residence / CICADA

Anna Dumitru — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The McGuire's New Orleans shotgun was a classic case of hidden potential. Nestled in the Touro/Bouligny neighborhood and brimming with character, the house had fallen into disrepair, deterring most potential buyers. Its classic double shotgun footprint measuring 25 x 75 posed unique challenges, while a tight budget demanded creative solutions. Yet, for Seamus and Kara McGuire, this was a canvas begging for transformation.

The Schoolhouse / Rome Office

Andreas Luco — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 16:00:00 +0000

This highly distinctive neighborhood landmark was originally built in 1894 to house the McDonogh #30 School in New Orleans’ Third Ward, a function it held for nearly half a century. The exuberant late Victorian design was at one point a lively confection of Italianate, Romanesque, Eastlake, and Neo-Classical elements and details. After decades of renovations by numerous tenants,these elements were removed from the façade and the interior underwent significant architectural changes. For nearly 20 years, the building sat vacant and blighted in various states of deterioration.

Bienville House / Nathan Fell Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Logistics of a working family typically requires all (family members) to stay tethered to their homes for longer periods than each would prefer individually. This can become a phycological drag when all your time at school, work and home is spend indoors, as had been the case for a New Orleans Architect and his family. They reached a point where many families decide to move to the suburbs, exchanging great public parks and amenities for a back yard. Rather than moving far away, they decided to make a bold change by build a new house that flipped the script on indoor home life on a small urban lot. There was no way to afford the ongoing cost of a single-family home in the city, so a duplex with a rentable unit was baked into the concept early on.

Bastion Community Housing / OJT

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Recently completed, the Bastion Community is a 58-unit fully affordable housing development centered on the needs of post-9/11 combat veterans, many with lifelong medical challenges, and their families and caregivers. Bastion leverages this concentration of services members with shared life experiences towards a community health model for long term care, support, and integration into the world. It is also a unique type of housing, the first such development of its kind, that addresses the gap between dedicated care facilities and market housing.

Starter Home* No. 4-15 Housing / OJT

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 29 May 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Another expanded site for the Starter Home* thesis, the 9th Street development is comprised of 12 homes, with 10 single-family and one two-family, occupying an existing warehouse and vacant parcel. The zoning for this transitioning industrial edge required abnormally large lot minimums for single-family structures. This mandated a tactic that leveraged the density allowed under multi-family developments but organized the site as a single-family assemblage.

The Shop at CAC / Eskew+Dumez+Ripple

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 13:00:00 +0000

The Shop is a comprehensive co-working development that is located on the third and forth floors of the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) in downtown New Orleans, one of New Orleans’ most important cultural institutions. Targeting technology, arts, and cultural-based businesses, The Shop serves as a hub of entrepreneurship in the developing Downtown innovation corridor.

Starter Home* No. 3 / OJT

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 09:00:00 +0000

4514 S. Saratoga is another iteration of Starter Home*, an entry level housing program using inventive land strategies coupled with design to develop homeownership opportunities in urban neighborhoods. Like other homes in this program, it is based on the reclamation of an otherwise vacant and unused substandard parcel. The project, unlike previous versions, originated as a commission by private clients interested in replicating the program.

Pecos County Safety Rest Area / Richter Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Sat, 28 Jul 2018 12:00:00 +0000

Native limestone strata is periodically revealed along the Interstate highway. Natural grasses, mesas and mountains layered along the expansive remote landscape. Along the eastern approach to the Davis Mountains, an interstate highway safety rest area is derived of the geology, ecology and cultural history of this region of the Chihuahuan desert of West Texas.

Crescent Park / Eskew+Dumez+Ripple

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Part of a larger master plan that envisions a new, greener future for the City of New Orleans and its riverfront, Crescent Park was designed to reconnect people with the river and transform the remnants of the city’s industrial and maritime past into a verdant, accessible, community asset.

The Standard New Orleans / Morris Adjmi Architects

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 13:00:00 +0000

The Standard at South Market District, New Orleans, is the fourth development in the downtown area and offers 89 one-to-three bedroom, for-sale luxury condominiums and 24,000sf of retail space. The building also doubles as an expansive art gallery displaying large-scale works by local, national, and international artists.

Dorgenois Residence / Colectivo

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 12 Jan 2018 20:00:00 +0000

This project- a home in New Orleans- was designed, built, and owned by the architects that worked on it. This was born partially out of a desire to explore less-traditional roles for architecture firms; partially to act as the guinea pigs for their own architectural ideas and whims, and partially out of the indulgence of using one’s own hands to build the work they design.

St. Pius Chapel and Prayer Garden / Eskew+Dumez+Ripple

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 15:00:00 +0000

Designed as a quiet refuge and intimate sanctuary for sacred reflection and contemplation, the new chapel on the church campus is a subtle sculptural addition to the landscape. Parishioners were clear that the chapel design should complement the modernist character of the adjacent church and its striking roof, which rises sculpturally to more than 75 feet above the church floor. The new chapel’s steep, angular roofline reflects this form and context, thus allowing the inclusion of significant glazing elements from above, adjacent to and behind the new sanctuary. The careful orientation and modulation of this glazing create distinct changes in the pattern of natural light throughout the day, enhancing the visitor’s experience.

7510 Zimple / OJT

Sabrina Leiva — Sun, 16 Apr 2017 08:00:00 +0000

The project occupies a previously vacant parcel adjacent the clients existing home. The new home is a linked primary residence for their aging parents with a secondary rental unit. The expressed intent was to create a balance between a shared living experience between the families and a sense of autonomy. The primary unit occupies the entire ground floor, which is organized around a deeply recessed entry porch and an internal, private courtyard. Social program components — kitchen, living, dining — were position to respond to similar spaces of the existing home to create shared-use relationships. Whereas private spaces were located towards the extremities. The secondary unit occupies the street-side second floor, which is accessed from the shared entry porch, and intentionally mirrors the second-floor form of the existing home.

Starter Home* No. 1 / OJT

Karen Valenzuela — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 11:00:00 +0000

Starter Home* is an opportunistic urban housing program created to develop affordable, entry-level homes for the speculative market that prioritizes: contemporary design that is site based and not prototypical; programmatic diversity to address a range of buyers, from first-timers to downsizers; densification through infill of overlooked odd or irregular vacant land; right-sizing as a means of addressing both environmental concerns and to insure affordability; in increasingly gentrifying historic core neighborhoods, a product that enables household economic diversity in rapidly gentrifying historic urban cores; and to do this without subsidization.

Yulman Stadium at Tulane University / Multistudio

Cristian Aguilar — Mon, 07 Sep 2015 17:00:00 +0000

Tulane University, a landlocked, open space-challenged campus in the heart of Uptown New Orleans, wanted to build a 30,000-capacity football stadium on an exceptionally tight site – in fact, at the narrowest point on the campus. The new $72 million Yulman Stadium nests itself into the heart of the Tulane’s athletics precinct. It provides a backdrop to a new athletics quadrangle while connecting to the existing Hertz and Wilson Centers. Construction began in early 2013 and was completed in early 2015. The new stadium marks the first time in 40 years that football is being played on Tulane’s campus. It has become a catalyst for renewed interest in the Tulane football program, successfully bringing back a generation of lost fans.
