02-Selected Work

BELLA ISLA

Project achieved a LEED Gold certification.

MR 305

On a compact urban site just 25 feet wide, Mr. 305 brings together offices, a recording studio, lounge areas in a distinctive vertically-arraged distribution. The design maximizes access to natural light within the narrow footprint, creating inviting spaces for work, creativity, and collaboration. An eight-story mural anchors the front façade, transforming the building into a canvas and giving this small site a strong presence in the city.

SIX18 HOUSE  FRENCH QUARTER

A Mixed-use Project located in New Orleans French Quarter. The design is based on the modern reinterpretation of the traditional Creole Townhouse of the 18th and 19th century. The building has a commercial space on the ground, a parking garage and large 3 story townhouse units above with a central courtyard opening up to the garage below. All 4 residential townhouses have 3 bedrooms with modern interiors featuring clean lines and wood floors.

Informed by the location, the architecture opens towards the east, referencing the volcanic formations of the region, using the materiality of traditional Icelandic architecture.  Sustainable, vertical wood siding is stained in a weathered black and weather treated.  This is a direct reference to the traditional Icelandic black house, historically treated with tar to protect the wood from the elements.  Baltic Driftwood used for the all doors and millwork, naturally strengthened and treated through its journey to Iceland in the saltwater.  Turf roofs refer to traditional Icelandic structures to insulate the guest house rooms, while harmoniously connecting to nature and forging a sustainable design.
