Make It Right, founded by Brad Pitt to build sustainable homes for communities in need, has announced the completion of the organization’s first home by renowned architect Frank Gehry.

Gehry’s duplex design was completed this week in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward, the neighborhood most devastated by Hurricane Katrina. This home is one of only 22 Gehry residences in the United States and the only Gehry home in Louisiana.
Design features of the 1780 square foot home include: front-to-back duplex organization allowing for maximum privacy between the homes, better flow of the interior spaces and a well-proportioned yard for each house; a waterproof solar canopy on the 510 square foot roof terrace and six additional canopied porches; open interior and exterior staircases; and oversized windows in the bedrooms.
