As a New Orleans architect, I was honored to undertake the major renovation of a Craftsman-style home in Uptown New Orleans. In this second phase, the client envisioned an addition to the rear including a large rear porch and separate accessory building that would feel like an original part of the property. To achieve this, we incorporated signature Craftsman detailing, such as tapered columns, large overhangs, and exposed rafter tails. The new rear porch serves as an inviting extension of the home, with iron railings and brick steps leading gracefully to the yard. A large garage with a second floor was constructed adjacent to the porch, maintaining the architectural integrity of the home. Every detail was carefully considered to blend old and new, ensuring this architecture in New Orleans project preserved the charm and craftsmanship that define the neighborhood.
