Project
Info
This modern infill in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans was a unique project designed to fit a nonconforming lot. CICADA worked with the owner, contractor, New Orleans’ Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC), and the City of New Orleans’ permitting office to fit a new contemporary 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom house on the substandard lot. The design offers a clean, modernist reinterpretation of the traditional Creole cottages of South Louisiana. Minimalist wood screens were used across the exterior to provide privacy and to reference the surrounding environs.
