Construction begins on the Park VII Pool Deck

The residents at the Park VII condominiums in Uptown New Orleans identified the need for a larger more useful deck for their pool, which was located within and above a concrete courtyard at ground level. Working with the owner, HMS Architects enlarged the new deck design by 15% and raised the deck level to be even with the pool level, vastly increasing the amount of that area that is usable. Due to its durability, Ipe wood slats and decking was the material around which the new deck was designed. The new deck was carefully detailed to work with the dimensions of the wood slats. The horizontal installation of the material on vertical surfaces aligns the slats cleanly with the stairs and deck level. The contractor selected for the project, Billbar Construction, is expected to begin work in late February, with the project to be complete by late May. We look forward to working with Park VII and Billbar Construction on this exciting project.

Metairie Manor IV Independent Living Senior Housing Complete

Metairie Manor IV, managed by Christopher Homes in Metairie, Louisiana, was completed in the fall of 2014. The building is designed for much needed independent elderly housing for the New Orleans area. HMS was given the opportunity to design the project, with strict guidelines from FEMA. This new 82 unit building is now adjacent to the three existing buildings in the complex. The project budget of approximately 10 million stayed on track through the end.
