Maison Tempete
Winner, 2009 Merit Award for Renovation by the Historic District Landmark Commission
Kerlerec Street - Faubourg Treme. The original house, built in 1837, was a brick-between-posts 1-1/2 story Creole Cottage that was "updated" in the 1880's, with the addition of a 2nd floor and Victorian details. In 2005, we designed a full renovation with the subtle addition of many modern conveniences. Later that year, Hurricane Katrina blew the 2nd floor off of the house, so we went back to the drawing board. When we designed the post-Katrina renovation (completed in 2009), we returned the house back to its original 1-1/2 story Creole Cottage style with attached 2-story Servants Quarters wing.
