Property of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans | Architects: Goldstein, Parham & Labouisse; Lawrence, Saunders and Calonge

THE SPACIOUS QUIET PATIO is the bonus the Lemanns won by building a two-story house on their narrow lot. Visitors receive a delightful surprise when they come from the hot, busy street into this private world of plants, sun and shadow with water bouncing down from sources high on the garden wall into the basin below. Wall is made of old New Orleans bricks some of which project to create a sculptured surface. Brick paving is interrupted with circular concrete inserts, plots of grass and beds of greenery—all easy to maintain. On this side of house, almost entire wall of lower story is glass since the wall of the patio supplies total privacy.
