A building studio that began as a practice integrating reclaimed materials with sustainable building practices. Learning to work with what we have and finding new and interesting ways to reinvent old materials in new spaces created the framework of Antico Nuovo. The innovative use of waste materials in order to create modern forms of architecture begins to bridge the gap between what is old and what is new. The ultimate goal is to design self-sustaining architecture in areas prone to some of the worst impacts of climate change while respecting our past through the use of these materials.
The founder of Antico Nuovo is a registered Architect and Project Manager currently residing in New Orleans, LA. During his years he has gained experience designing residential, commercial and hospitality projects in Louisiana, throughout the US and London, UK. He also has design-build experience for numerous projects of smaller scale, and loves to build custom furniture. His most recent experience at local New Orleans firms includes Nathan Fell Architecture, Studio WTA, Campo Architects and Colectivo. He has spent extensive time in London at the office of Rafael Vinoly, working on Marble Arch Place, a large mixed use project. Louisiana has been a place he calls home, from receiving his Architecture degree from Louisiana State University to his recently renovated home in New Orleans. Louisiana has given a lot over his life but a new place and start is on the horizon.
