This home is inspired by the Pitot House in New Orleans, LA.  The homeowner loved the architecture of this home and commissioned Leslie Tyrone to design a custom home, loosely based on the Pitot House.  We began construction in August of 2009, and completed in June of 2010.  There were many hours spent in the planning stage of this project, to ensure the best materials were used, to achieve the look the homeowner desired, but, to also fit in the budget.  Some minor details had to be sacrificed, due to budget restraints, however, things like 20″ endura stone columns, exposed rafter tails, stucco exterior, solid wood exterior french doors and heart pine wood floors were incorporated.  Overall, this home has a definite French Creole feel, that the homeowner is very excited about.
