PROJECT TEAM: GOAT (Architecture, Interiors + Site)

GOAT believes wholeheartedly that good design is good business and that our ideas and services add tremendous economic value to a project. The Weyer Street project is the case study that verifies this belief. Purchased by a contractor with the intent of remodeling and then immediately selling, GOAT was brought in to produce the permit drawings and provide some input on finishes. Rather than stop there, we reimagined the house’s layout, developed a series of unique interior and exterior interventions like reclaimed wood feature walls and a semi-private indoor-outdoor space, selected distinct, contemporary fixtures and finishes, and a completely reinvented the existing, unflattering facades. The result is a truly one-of-a-kind home that sold within days of hitting the market, set a new bar for residential value in the Old Gretna neighborhood, and has been featured extensively in local publications and on home tours around the city.
