lower garden district
Nestled between the stately Victorian and Greek Revival mansions of the Garden District and the bustling Central Business District (or “CBD”), the historic Lower Garden District is a lively mix of urban excitement and Uptown elegance. This stretch of Magazine Street is home to some of the city’s most beloved restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and shopping, with the Convention Center, French Quarter, Coliseum Square, museums, and art galleries mere blocks away.
design
Under the careful eye of Logan Killen Interiors, the owners of Luna immersed themselves in every design decision, from material sourcing to spatial flow. Together, they crafted a visual language that honors the home’s Italianate roots with soaring double galleries, original plasterwork, and heart-pine floors, while weaving in modern touches like custom lighting and layered textures. The result is a soulful, storied residence where heritage and contemporary comfort meet in quiet harmony.
