Affordable Housing Projects in New Orleans, LA

Our Architect Edward Fleming leads the initiative for an affordable housing project building system in New Orleans, LA.

 

Low cost housing is at a cultural levee. Our goal is to create genuinely affordable housing designs that preserves our City’s heritage and culture. We are developing an affordable building system initiative that can help keep New Orleans real. By combining high-tech panelized, modular and traditional field-built construction, we can create new affordable homes reflecting our historic housing architecture, meeting all codes and ordinances while providing education, employment, and business opportunities in New Orleans.

Learn More About Our Affordable Housing Building Concept

New Orleans is a densely built city. In many of the older neighborhoods, the average lot is about 30-feet wide. This is largely why the traditional “shotgun” home became so prevalent here, a building type that is one of the most space-efficient residential designs there is. For over two centuries, people have found increasingly creative ways to make these linear houses more functional and comfortable. They remain an iconic form that around the world has become symbolic of New Orleans.

 

New panelized and modular construction systems can produce high-quality wood or metal buildings. Depending on the project and in combination with field-build construction methods, the result is as solid and elegant as a traditionally built home. However, the project can be completed faster, with a higher level of quality control, and at considerably less cost than traditional “stick-built” construction. The completed home will be fully compliant with all building codes, zoning ordinances, and Historic Commission regulations.

We Work With the Best Clients

  • In 2015, I had a home built in Ashland, Oregon, based on Edward Fleming's design created from deep conversations we had regarding the important values my wife and I wanted embodied in our home - physically, aestehically, philosophically, and environmentally.

    His level of commitment to the process and breadth and depth of ideas he brought to the design is very rare. Gratefully, our home still delights us every day thanks to Mr. Fleming's work.

    Mark F.

    When we reached out about a very basic addition to our home, we had a simple idea but had no idea how to make it work. Edward Fleming helped design our idea with ease but also took the time to talk to us more about the rest of the house, its functionality, and anything else we wished we could change. He took everything into consideration very thoughtfully and presented us with concepts and solutions we would have never been able to imagine on our own. We were given exactly what we asked for but also design options that went above and beyond our initial thoughts that would truly transform our house into the home we never thought it could be. At no time in the process did we feel any pressure from Ted to decide one way or another, to do less or more. He is professional, courteous, and very easy to talk to. It's clear that he truly loves what he does and has a talent for translating jumbled thoughts and ideas into elegant and functional designs. We are so looking forward to continue working with him in the future.

    Edward "Ted" Fleming is a great architect. His fees appeared to be a little high at first but it was well worth it in the service he provided. He went above and beyond expectations to help us complete the architect phase of our project. I highly recommend him if you need architectural services.

  • Ted exudes professionalism, courtesy and competence! My boyfriend is undergoing a historic restoration of a 1924 double shotgun, and Ted came to tour the space on a consultant basis, providing valuable insight into the project and space. Would definitely recommend working with Ted Fleming.

    Ted is a great architect - he listens to his clients, he understands construction, he is a visionary who understands functionality.

    Robert M.
  • An absolute pleasure to work with. Ted was open to our opinions, and made our design come to life. I would greatly recommend his services to a friend.

    Glenn W.

    We love Ted! We purchased a historic home in the Irish Channel and were referred to Ted for architectural services and design to restore the home. What I appreciated about Ted’s process is that he listened to our needs and wishes—we were able to get everything we needed without changing the footprint of our home, and without compromising the historic integrity required of the stringent NOLA board.

    Very few people are fortunate to have great technical skills as an architect and the artistic talent which Ted possesses. Ted is passionate, thoughtful, patient, and highly skilled. In addition, he’s just a kind human being with a great heart.

    If we ever get the chance to work with Ted again, anywhere in the world, he would be the first architect we called to work his magic.

    Sandra B.

    Edward Fleming designed a house and then later an addition to a second home. Ted is innovative and creative with a respect for the surrounding neighborhood . Our projects blended seamlessly and are highly regarded by our neighbors. Ted has a profound respect for the environment and this philosophy informs his designs. Ted takes a lot of time to get to know you. His designs reflect this knowledge- he often had a clearer idea of what we needed and wanted than we did. I can whole heartedly recommend Ted.

    Meredith M.
  • Edward Fleming was the architect for extensive renovations and additions to my historic shotgun home. The lot is narrow and Ted came up with fantastic ideas to use the space by adding a second floor and designing spaces I never thought possible. He added a mini-balcony off the 2nd floor guest bedroom which will have a glass floor, a balcony/gallery off the master bedroom, a large wrap-around back porch, an elevator, a new front entryway, storage, a walk-in closet, an office, columns and gables. Ted came up with things I would never have thought of. He paid incredible attention to detail and was very responsive to any phone calls or requests I made. Mostly, I wanted a someone who had an artistic and creative vision and I got that beyond my wildest expectations.

    Anne D.

    Ted is very professional and easy to work with. He cares about what the clients needs and wants are. Would definitely recommend!

    Amanda W.

    Ted has done a wonderful job designing our home extension. He leaves no stone unturned in the initial idea generation phase so he can deliver amazingly creative work that meets all of his client's wishes and needs.

  • Hire an Architect to Design a Project I hired Edward Fleming (Ted) sight unseen. I liked his photos and his aesthetic. I could not have foreseen how knowledgeable, thorough and professional he was. I have worked with a few architects and Ted far surpasses all of them. He was there at a moments notice, was extremely particular about his own work and even the work the structural engineer did, even correcting his mistakes more than once. I received every update on large-scale plans and Ted resourced several manufacturers when needed. Not only is Ted well-trained and thoroughly professional, he is a joy to work with, with a lovely manner and a desire to do the best job possible. He is already working with my builder on other projects as they have forged a great relationship as well. Ted is so thorough that when the plans are handed off to the builder there will be nothing that the builder has to correct, add, fix. This saves a fortune in expense. Most important, I am a designer, builder and decorative painter and am pretty good at visualizing space. Ted went so far beyond what I had imagined for my house. That is why Ted should get the highest rating possible.

  • Edward Fleming did a wonderful job designing my home in Ashland, Oregon. It is a tremendously functional work of art. The contractor and subcontractors could not stop talking about how well designed our house is down to the finest little details in terms of beauty and integrity.

    Japanese Industrial. This ended up being the consensus among the builders. Most architects dress up different kinds of boxes as homes. Edward Fleming spent a great deal of time and effort to draw out the home that would support my life. I could not imagine the same quality and innovation without Mr. Flemings mastery.
