CICADA

CICADA is a multidisciplinary design firm specializing in design at all scales, including master planning, historic renovation, contemporary new construction, 3D printing, and interactive art. We thrive on diversity of design challenges and have honed our skills working in the unique environment of New Orleans, where beautiful but decaying historic buildings and a constantly evolving climate result in architectural and design quandaries. To meet these challenges, we integrate design thinking and cutting-edge technology at every step of the process. We are adept at respecting the soul of historic buildings while bringing them into a modern aesthetic, designing new buildings with the ability to thrive amidst ever-changing climate concerns, and developing efficient design process workflows that allows owners and stakeholders to experience their project virtually before ever breaking ground. The diversity of skills embodied by our team of architects, designers, and digital artists allows us to experiment, engage, and, simply put, create beautiful things. From 3D printed objects, to master planning and design of projects across the US, to restoration and rehabilitation of historic properties, to a podcast highlighting local innovators, we merge history, climate, community, and client to create physical and digital spaces that enhance not only their immediate surroundings, but also the larger areas which we together share.
