US-based based company Trapolin-Peer Architects has completed the restoration of the cultural destination Sazerac House, located at Canal and Magazine Streets intersection in New Orleans.
The restoration project involved redeveloping two late 19th-century long-abandoned structures into a single unified complex.

The 51,987ft² six-storey complex was renovated using Historic Tax Credits, which finances the rehabilitation of historic buildings.
Trapolin-Peer Architects said: “Employing an archaeological approach to design, the project includes a mix of restoration, repurposed salvaged elements and complementary new interventions.”
The first three floors of the building feature retail, exhibit and demonstration distillery areas, which are designed as visitor-focused venues. The fourth-floor is dedicated to an event space.
The remaining two floors house offices for the owner Sazerac Company.
