1914 Esplanade Ave.

Description: Renovation of enclosed porches at left side and rear elevations at a Significant rated, two-story, single-family residential building.

Previous ARC Recommendations:

11/14/23: The ARC voted to defer your application for additional review. The ARC agreed that:

• The proposed full lite doors at the service wing were too modern and that the proposed pane over panel French doors were more appropriate for the building. 

• The two-story balcony at the left-side elevation closest to Esplanade Avenue should attempt to work within the original footprint of the balcony to accomplish the desired program. 

• In lieu of the roof at the Esplanade Avenue balcony, carry the language of the flat paneling at the first floor up to this portion. In addition, replicate the original column bases at the first floor to better integrate the paneling. The slope of the porch floor should be maintained.

• The attempt to create an infilled porch condition with jalousie wall at the Bayou Road facing façade was not appropriate. As such the second floor at this area should include more regularized window openings that are centered on the bays below.  

• The ARC requested that future drawing sets include side-by-side existing and proposed elevations to better understand the alterations.
