The Bakery Apartments, New Orleans
Home / Architecture / The Bakery Apartments, New Orleans
The Bakery building, originally constructed in 1920, is located in New Orleans' historic Warehouse District, an area of the city that underwent dramatic changes from its earlier industrial use to a neighborhood of residential apartments, restaurants, professional offices and art galleries. The building renovation transformed its former use as Consumer's Biscuit Company into a collection of seventy-two apartments with a large sunlit central atrium, cabanna and pool. The atrium is defined by a series of angular bay windows which look to the west for afternoon sunshine. The original ovens were converted by Concordia into spacious and uniquely detailed penthouse apartments.

Hello,
I am 17 years old and I am headed for college this fall to Lehigh University to study architecture to pursue my hopes of becoming an architect. This spring I went to visit New Orleans and I work with non-profit organization called Common Group located at the Lower 9th ward for a couple of days. During my stay I learned the "Make it right" initiative and I was very impressed with the house that were getting built. Today I looked at this site and some of the work and I am really inspired. I am really anxious to become apart of the world of architecture design and planning. Thank You
