Designed in 2008 after Hurricane Katrina, the construction of this single-family house started in 2011 and was completed in 2018. Situated in the historic fabric of the city of New Orleans, the project considers the identity of a place as something in flux rather than immutable. The project adapts to the specificity of the context by using adequate materials for a subtropical climate and state of the art contemporary construction methods. Most importantly, the project responds to our current way of life.
