As the architects for this new home, we had the privilege of designing it for a family who tragically lost their previous house to Hurricane Katrina. Embracing a Greek Revival raised cottage style, the home features elegant slate dormers and a stucco finish, offering a timeless aesthetic. The layout includes a backyard oasis accessible from the living room and children’s den, perfect for family relaxation. Expansive porches provide serene, welcoming outdoor spaces, while an octagon-shaped dining room with lighted bookcases in the corners creates a unique gathering spot. The second floor boasts bedrooms with larger dormers, ensuring ample natural light. A personal study off the primary suite offers a private retreat, and the bathrooms and kitchen showcase luxurious marble counters and custom cabinets. The harmonious blending of elegance and functionality provides a haven of comfort and style for this family’s new home.
