Uptown Raised House,
New Orleans

This renovation of an existing raised house began as an addition of a full floor at the ground level, raising the existing main floor to become a second floor. As is typical for residential projects, the project evolved. A smaller yet more economical transition created a new addition housing two bedrooms and a bath for a growing family, and created a ground level screened porch adjacent to the pool, enhancing the family’s outdoor living. An expansion into the existing gallery side porch creates a more usable kitchen social space.
