Copper Vine
In 2018, Studio West was asked to design Copper Vine, a new neighborhood restaurant and sustainable wine bar in a 140-year-old property once home to Maylie’s, one of New Orleans’ most iconic and long-running restaurants which operated from 1876 until closing in 1986. The design emphasizes the contrast of old and new, to preserve the historic character of the building and embrace the memory of the original restaurant, while creating a new neighborhood wine bar with indoor and outdoor dining.
In 2024, Studio West refreshed the existing restaurant spaces and expanded Copper Vine to build a new state-of-the-art kitchen, create additional seating, and private dining rooms. A new glass and plaster exterior addition was constructed as part of this new phase of work. The new addition opens onto the iconic courtyard, creating a new garden room at the first floor and new private dining room with private balcony overlooking the courtyard. A new interior dining room with stunning arched mirrors and millwork offers another interior experience for dining in the restaurant.
