Poydras Hospitality Development

The Poydras Hospitality Development is the latest renovation and addition to a family of projects on the 1000 block of Poydras Street in downtown New Orleans, for which Studio West has served as architect since 2018. Our design for this project began with a challenge: how do you take three successful hospitality concepts and expand them without losing the spirit that made them successful concepts in the first place? The renovation and additions double the square footage of the existing buildings and add two new concepts to the property. Together, the project occupies almost half a city block. In addition to expanding Vintage Rock Club and Copper Vine, the new three-story construction adds an 11-room inn behind Copper Vine, third-floor Rooftop Restaurant addition over the existing buildings, and offices for the operator in another addition.
