St. Joseph Townhouses
New Orleans, LA
Located in the middle of a gritty block in New Orleans’ Warehouse District, the St. Joseph Townhouses are a striking example of modern design on historic ground. Built on the former site of a century-old cooperage, this new construction project features two mirror-image residences tailored for hosting and entertaining. Located less than 800 feet from the New Orleans Convention Center, each five-bedroom home boasts off-street parking and private pools, delivering a luxurious experience in the heart of the city.
Studio BKA took on the challenge of designing these homes on two compact lots, each half the size of a traditional residential parcel. With amenities like off-street parking and private courtyards with pools as top priorities, the architects leveraged vertical space to create efficient five-bedroom suites. The design trades a traditional dining room for the convenience of parking while ensuring every bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom. A second-floor terrace offers sweeping views of the Crescent City Connection, seamlessly blending comfort with a connection to New Orleans' vibrant urban landscape.
