The Gardener’s House

Designed by New Orleans architect Patrick Melecon, this inspired mashup of the rustic and the elegant serves up color, pattern, texture and high drama. From the epic staircase to the intricate flooring, to the immaculate details, this home invites at every turn. Contrasts abound – a raw timber-trimmed cased entryway opens into a grand parlor with coffered ceilings . . . and a wood-enveloped gathering space features a crystal chandelier. Rarely have we had the privilege of building out such a fully-realized vision that perfectly balances refined design and modern functionality.
