Transforming this warehouse, once used as a hides and fur business, to New Orleans’ first microbrewery required research and innovation. Due to the historical location, inspections and approval were required from both the Vieux Carre Commission and The State Preservation offices. The completed project resulted in a four-story transformation and overhaul of the previous building. A front gallery was added to enhance second-floor dining experience. Steel columns and beams replaced existing brick walls, which opened the space without compromising structural integrity. The large copper kettles used in the brewing process were strategically left visible, adding to the ambiance for the patron’s delight. We incorporated a salvaged cast iron facade as the enclosure for the copper kettles at the first floor and then more modern, full-height glass at the second floor. A rear courtyard with dining al fresco creates an inviting outdoor space, embracing the city’s signature charm. This adaptive reuse project honors the building’s industrial past while creating a dynamic, modern gathering place in the heart of New Orleans.
