This Americana Cottage - the home of Eddie Maestri, himself - was influenced/inspired by the classic wood-clad homes in Uptown New Orleans. Its modern design elements - polished concrete floors and original art - juxtapose traditional and reclaimed features like antique French doors, interior transom windows, and gas lanterns. The second floor has a screened in balcony that has a “tree house” feel, and the house itself is accented by a guest house retreat. Instead of looking like the newest house on the block, we wanted it to look like it could have been the oldest.
This project was featured on the 2012 AIA Dallas Tour of Homes and the 2012 Lakewood Home Tour.
