This project is nearing completion just a little outside of a year of renovations and design exploration. I have been truly fortunate to work patiently with a wonderful family to create a home that suits their loving, warm personality and provides a backdrop for the years of family gathering to come.

The home was originally a 1950’s ranch style build with an addition that took the direction in the style of A. Hays Town. The addition was actually drawn by one of his apprentice architects, incorporating design elements true to his signature southern aesthetic.

As a Cajun myself, I wanted to honor the style of the home - rather than busting down the door and painting everything white. As a sort of offering, I wanted to practice Town’s design process by selecting colors and materials that blended the light, texture and shadows that blend the interior of the home with the lush gardens surrounding the property.
