Sacred Heart at Saint Bernard in New Orleans, LA | Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Award – Best Adaptive Reuse (from non-residential product to rental apartments)
Sacred Heart at St. Bernard gives a beloved historic Seventh Ward landmark new life. Within the church–s sanctuary, light, volume, and memory are preserved–reimagined as distinctive loft homes and shared spaces. Along St. Bernard Avenue, a new companion building reflects historic neighborhood architecture, shaped by community voices and local character. Together, old and new create mixed-income homes and a renewed presence that feels both familiar and forward-looking–where preservation, opportunity, and neighborhood pride meet.
