Lafitte Greenway shelter

New Orleans, Louisiana

2019

WDG | Architects Engineers provided Architectural and Engineering Design services
for the Lafitte Greenway Shelter project. Falling along the now-open greenway,
the renovated former brake tag station will be converted into a covered multi-use
pavilion that will tie into the landscape design and function as a circulation and
programmatic hub for the community of greenway users, further activating the
already well-appreciated greenway.          
                                                                                                                                         Scope of work includes renovation of the existing facility, roof replacement, opening
up of the walls, and retrofitting new openings that will provide visual and circulation
permeability between the shelter and the greenway. Additionally, new landscape architectural elements will be woven throughout the facility to provide a landscape design connection to the greenway. WDG worked with Spackman, Mossop, and  Michaels on the project.
