PROJECT INFORMATION

COMPLETED: 2009

PROGRAM: 4,550 SF

BUDGET: $2,757,000

CLIENT: NATIONAL WWII MUSEUM

LOCATION: NEW ORLEANS, LA

The American Sector is located within the National WWII Museum and provides restaurant and bar seating for 142. A restored historic brick wall serves as a design reference and also reinforces the restaurant’s connection to its environment. This brick wall is a relict of the city’s warehouse district and stitches the space together by running the entire length of the Bar and the Bar Plaza. A curved architectural stainless steel metal mesh ceiling flows seamlessly above the restaurant, giving the room a unique character by allowing the mesh panels to rise and fall adjacent to warm wood fins.
