Located in New Orleans, United States, 930 Poydras Residential Tower was designed by Eskew+Dumez+Ripple. This mixed-use residential project is designed to re-imagine the typically horizontal circumstance of New Orleans’ dense French Quarter blocks as a vertical condition. The program includes 250 residential apartments above a 500 car garage, and is organised to create a communal amenity floor at the ninth floor level – reinterpreting the courtyard housing typology for urban, high-rise living.

At this raised ‘courtyard’ level, shuttle elevators transfer from garage to tower in order to promote opportunities for residents to cross paths with one another in a shared, communal space as opposed to the typically introverted collection of experiences found in most high-rise residential developments.
