Renovating this historic single-story home (for a second time!) was an exercise in blending classic New Orleans architecture with modern comfort. We reimagined the home’s layout to enhance flow and function, featuring a welcoming center hall that connects thoughtfully designed spaces. A former exterior space was enclosed along the center hall as a glassed in sitting room that brings in wonderful natural lighting to the interior. The open kitchen, with beamed ceilings, now opens onto an informal sitting area, anchored by a built-in bar for entertaining. Triple French doors with continuous transoms bathe the interiors in natural light, while copper awnings add elegance to the rear façade. A flexible guest room adapts to various needs, while bold geometric tiles bring character to the bathrooms. The rear features a raised brick patio leading to a scored concrete patio at ground level perfect for outdoor entertaining. This house has so many unique features a New Orleans architect can appreciate!
