OZANAM INN

fall 2016 | Albert and Tina Small Center

An exercise in collaborative design-build, a new canopy for a men’s homeless shelter in downtown New Orleans shelters occupants from rain while keeping their bags dry from runoff on a raised deck which includes new high-backed seating. The new design replaces a dark and rusty canopy and dilapidated benches with a more dignified, bright, and uplifting space as occupants await meals.
