1100 Annunciation
Maximizing a limited footprint for a new 16-story residential condo tower.
1100 Annunciation is a new 16-story residential condo tower in New Orleans’ Warehouse District, which includes ample amenities such as a living green wall covered parking garage, street level retail and residential courtyard, and penthouse level amenities.
Outcome
The design of 1100 Annunciation adds significant value by thoughtfully integrating into the architectural character of the Warehouse District while enhancing the quality of life for its residents and enriching the community. For residents, the tower offers a seamless blend of private and communal spaces, with generous terraces on multiple levels and a landscaped courtyard inspired by New Orleans' iconic courtyards. These elements create a peaceful sanctuary amidst urban life and maximize views of the city’s landmarks, reinforcing a sense of place.
For the surrounding community, the project brings a vibrant street-level experience through terraced retail entrances that activate pedestrian engagement and add to the area’s thriving street life. The green wall, designed to cultivate jasmine, adds a layer of natural beauty, creating a soft transition between public and private spaces and contributing to the Warehouse District’s urban ecosystem. The project also addresses sustainability and urban cooling by integrating greenery and shading, which benefit both residents and passersby.
Through these design choices, 1100 Annunciation not only meets the client’s vision for a modern residential tower but also respects the district's heritage and advances New Orleans’ commitment to livable, interconnected spaces.
