CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, NEW ORLEANS, LA
The structure follows a rigorous rhythm through most of the building, but expands in key communal locations throughout.
At the heart of the building, where the monastic tower meets the low-lying outreach, the chapel – appearing from the exterior as a perfect solid mass – floats within the joint, tying the masses together.
On the street the monastery presents a solid, austere façade which sets it apart from the grand and salacious detailing of the buildings that surround it.
An opening in the façade invites the potential visitor, who upon entering sees the heavy walls fade away into an open, warm courtyard framed by glass and timber, a meal being served to a crowd dispersed among several tables.
