该住宅位于新奥尔良中央商务区的Picayune Place历史街区，是一处当代风格的建筑，坐落在市中心的一块空地上。沿着Magazine街，最初的1854年立面是20年前在一场大火中被摧毁的建筑物的唯一的遗迹。
Located within the Picayune Place historic neighborhood of New Orleans’ Central Business District, the Residence is a contemporary intervention situated on a vacant site in the heart of the city. Along Magazine Street the original 1854 facade stands as the only remnant of a structure that was destroyed in a fire over 20 years ago.
Trahan Architects设计的核心是在一个充满放纵和狂欢的城市中创造一个安静的沉思和休息的地方。住宅本身是一个简单的现浇混凝土盒子的一部分，它位于一个不朽的风化钢雕塑墙的旁边。大钢面板形成了房屋内部的背景，表达了室内外、自然光和阴影之间的关系。
The design of Trahan Architects is centered on creating a place of quiet contemplation and repose in a city filled with excess and revelry. The house itself is a simple parti of a cast-in-place concrete box which is located beside a monumental weathered steel sculpture wall. The large steel panels form the backdrop for the interior of the house, informing the relationship between inside and out, natural light and shadow.
材料使用仅限于博物馆级的混凝土、玻璃和钢材，这提高了自然光线反射到房子的质量。从而提高了反射到房屋中的自然光的质量。消除内部视觉和听觉上的干扰是所有决定的首要任务，从而使季节营造出一种微妙的氛围。
The material palette is limited to museum-quality concrete, glass and steel which enhances the quality of natural light reflected into the house. Editing out internal visual and acoustical distractions was primary to all decisions, resulting in an atmosphere of subtlety informed by the seasons.
出于对历史背景的尊重，住宅的边界向后缩进，以创建带景观的庭院，从而将建筑物对街道的视觉影响降至最低，并保留历史街道景观的体验。
In reverence of the historic context, the residence is set back from the front and rear property lines to create landscaped courtyards which minimize the visual impact of the building from the street and preserve the experience of the historic streetscape.
