MUSIC STREET HOUSE

Gentilly,
New Orleans, LA

Scope of Work:

• new flood-resistant, hurricane-resistant house

This house is currently under construction. It features a masonry ground level for parking and storage, wind resistance greatly in excess of building code requirements, a high level of energy efficiency, a large porch living space, and an attic suitable for future conversion to additional living space. This is a rare thing: a simple, small house built to high quality standards.

This house is an excellent model for post-Katrina construction in flood-prone areas.
