Maison Marigny

When our clients were searching for a home in New Orleans, they asked us to advise on the possibilities for remodeling a few of their favorite properties. We immediately saw the incredible potential in the Maison Marigny, with its unfinished attic that could house a primary suite, as well as an expansive front entry area that could be modified for an entertainment space for this mixologist couple.

Our clients wanted the story of their historic home to shine and asked us to keep as much of the original and distressed details as possible on the main level of the home (our favorite request!), while also bringing that character to the new upstairs suite.

We coordinated with local architects Atelier Orleans on the plans and then went to work helping our clients choose materials and finishes that would bring the space to life and blend with the home’s original details. Once construction was complete, we furnished and decorated the home with the minimalist eclectic style our clients loved.

From the client

Shannon, homeowner

“Sarah and her team shared the same excitement for our property and understood our desire to make it a tranquil sanctuary in a very lively neighborhood. She not only helped us achieve a beautiful design for our 1860 Creole double shotgun, she truly captured our hopes for our house and made it our home.

Because we did not want an ‘over-designed’ space, Sarah came up with a design for a refined Southern home with a special balance of finishes and fixtures that feels intimate, yet preserved the space and light we wanted. Sarah made all of our meetings super productive and communication was easy. Her ability to tap into our aesthetic and functional needs meant the mood boards and 3D renderings really spoke to us and allowed us to see how the design was all going to come together.”
