We are an architecture, planning, and interior design practice that works on new and historic projects. Through curiosity and a collaborative design process, we help our clients realize their visions, creating memorable spaces where people live authentically.
Our aspiration is to create positive experiences—during design and after construction—for people, communities, and the environment.
We believe design is an inclusive process. For each project we pursue, our team is closely involved in helping our clients clarify their visions through deep listening, research, and implementation of useful technological support.
Nimble and curious, our architects and interior designers love working closely through a collaborative process with contractors and others to enjoy a creative and healthy team. Our rich, deep relationships with project partners, consultants, artists, and artisans help our clients realize meaningful and memorable projects.
Studio West offers services in architecture, historic architecture, sustainability, interior design, procurement, planning, and pre-development, and specializes in adaptive reuse, sustainability, historic architecture, and preservation. Living and working in New Orleans, our studio is acutely aware of the environmental risks present in our community—sustainability and resilience are core to each of our projects. We harness the latest technology to visualize, document, and present our designs.
