The Eight Inc. design for a sustainable high-density 160-unit housing community on a high-ground site by the Mississippi River took into consideration the architectural vernacular, geography, culture, heritage and infrastructure of New Orleans.
Tim Kobe, founding principal, shared the Eight Inc. approach "We felt a strong responsibility in helping craft the reconstruction of New Orleans by tapping into the vibrancy of the culture.
We want to rekindle the unique and diverse spirit of the city and inspire re-growth in a culturally and environmentally sustainable way."
The Eight Inc. team has particular interest and passion in the rebuilding of the city following Hurricane Katrina given that five team members are former residents of New Orleans and alumni of the Tulane University School of Architecture.
