Project Spotlight: Eustis Mortgage's Contemporary Downtown Office Complements Rebrand
Following a rebrand of the company founded more than 60 years ago, Eustis Mortgage wanted their downtown New Orleans location to follow suit. The company’s CEO, Kate deKay, engaged GOAT to help relaunch the company in a new, contemporary office space located on the ground floor of The Standard, a mixed-use high rise developed by The Domain Companies in the desirable South Market District.
The Eustis Mortgage office is a combination of flexible, contemporary coworking style spaces and semi-private glass door offices, plus the ability to accommodate future expansion. To achieve this within a minimal footprint, GOAT developed a layout that centralizes the shared areas and open workspaces, maximizing the penetration of daylight from the west facing exterior wall. Glass doored offices line the perimeter of the shell, overlooking the open spaces.
GOAT selected several high impact design features, such as the reception desk and mezzanine stair. Constructed from ebony stained plywood and hardwood studs, the feature stair sets the aesthetic tone for the entire project and acts as the space’s organizing focal point.
The final finish palette complements Eustis’ recent rebranding and showcases Ms. deKay’s sophisticated tastes. Polished concrete, ebony stained wood, glass, and occasional pops of bold color provide the perfect backdrop for Eustis’ next 60 years.
