            he unique design of this classic contemporary waterfront home features an inverted plan with major living areas on the second floor creating spectacular views of Bayou St. John and City Park. Intricate stepped ceilings boldly accent the entertaining areas that are illuminated by natural sunlight shining through large glass windows. A translucent glass block wall forms a curved bay on the façade brightening a writing area. The owner's contemporary art collection is prominently displayed throughout the house. Sculptural walls extending from the main house create open decks and porches overlooking the grounds and bayou. A breezeway joins the two story residence to the owner's interior design studio with adjacent enclosed parking. The main entrance, a semi-circular Portico at the center of the breezeway, includes an iron gate providing glimpses of the private gardens and pool on the water side. This new residence was featured in numerous publications including New Orleans Magazine and the cover story for Gambit Home Smart. Related Articles
