Our design utilizes sustainable strategies and technologies while maintaining the comforts found in a traditional home. The exterior is designed to fit into the local vernacular of the raised basement Colonial Revival style homes in the Broadmoor District but also pulls from other neighborhood styles to incorporate other characteristics common to New Orleans. Our home’s exterior façade features grouped Tuscan columns, brick accents, capped pilasters, arched porch openings, window transoms, French doors, gently curved stair walls and iron railings.
This home will impact the lives of an elderly couple but, also be a beacon of environmental stewardship to the rebuilding efforts in the Broadmoor Neighborhood and the greater New Orleans area.
