The Odeon at South Market is a 30-story, 271-unit apartment tower and the tallest building to be built in New Orleans in 30 years. Farouki Farouki’s scope includes the interior design of the residences, lobby, clubroom, fitness room, game room, guest suites, meeting room, pool deck FF&E, and leasing office suite. The design draws on the minimalism and warmth of mid-century Scandinavian design, the rich colors of the French Quarter, and written music for pattern inspiration.
Primary features of the lobby are two monumental, steel and tile room dividers which break down the space and create intimate seating areas for residents and their guests. The lobby also includes a custom sofa, a custom chandelier, and custom handwoven rugs. A custom ceramic and textile art feature was made by artist Karen Tinney.
The clubroom includes a custom marble and white oak communal table.
The residences are simple and modern but still warm and inviting.
In addition to designing all of the residences, we designed the staging for a 1-bedroom model room. We included art by local artist in the model room and throughout the public spaces.
