A recently renovated New Orleans Shotgun dwelling built and designed by an architect. The kitchen and more ‘public’ space is located towards the front affording efficiency to the circulation of the residence. At the intersection of the more public and private area there is a double height studio/office space, which leads to the upper loft bedroom, a truly unique space designed as a quiet 'treehouse'. Reclaimed materials from the previous house are cleverly used throughout the space.
