The Longway Tavern is located on the 700 block of Toulouse Street in the French Quarter, previously occupied by a gelato shop which had a configuration that we could work with. The design and renovation took place between 2017 and 2018 and it involved demoing the existing sales counter and gelato displays and fitting a new code compliant bar, with all new equipment. Careful space planning was crucial given the lack of space to accommodate the occupants and proper circulation. The original intent for the new booths was for them to be curved and facing the bar with vertical channel upholstery, however the design had to be value engineered. Work performed under Mathes Brierre Architects.

A new college preparatory high school designed to immerse students in an environment that reflects the technological principles on which their curriculum is based. Having seen the dramatic increase in enrollment, this technologically rooted school was in need of a larger campus. A new facility would not only allow for larger classroom and activity space. It allowed for a better organization of the program around the school’s pedagogical objectives.

 The design team capitalized on the expansive site by creating generously sized classroom, activity, circulation, and outdoor spaces- many of which can be used for different activities. The classrooms are organized into pods which are attached to a free- flowing circulation spine anchored by the cafeteria, Each of the three pods (each one named after a famous scientist) is comprised of classrooms surrounding a multi-purpose ‘breakout’ space. As such, the classrooms become defined as didactic spaces for individual learning while the multi-purpose spaces allow for hands-on activities and group projects where students can apply their knowledge.

 The planning of the site focused highly on sustainability, with ideas that did not just meet the needs of the time, but also looked forward to the future.

Young Audiences Charter School’s vision was to transform a neglected warehouse building adjacent to their existing school in Gretna, LA, into a new campus for Young Audience’s (YA) expanding student population in grades 5 through 12, to accommodate a student body of 950. The 101,000 SF school is comprised of a very diverse student body and an extremely unique and talented staff of school leaders, teaching artists and teachers. Our most critical challenge on this project has been to find ways in which we can design and configure the programmed and other interior spaces for academic and public use within this existing structure in a way that creatively reinforces the primary vision of the school, which is to comprehensively integrate the arts into the school’s core curriculum.
