about the Designer
Our designer Charles Allen Wilhite, was born in Wilhite, La. where his
ancestors settled in the early 1800s. They built their own houses with
the timber which they found in the area, then built for others, thus
establishing a tradition which Charles carries on today. Charles
graduated from Louisiana State University at Lafayette, La. with a B.A.
in Architecture . Widely traveled and inspired by a naturalistic school of
architecture, he has practiced in New Orleans and Boston and has
garnered awards and mention in influential magazines and journals.
French Quarter Design has commissioned Charles to design a
continuing series of New Orleans houses we wanted these houses to
be not only original in concept, but affordable and buildable by the owner.
The houses he has designed are simple in construction technique and
artistically significant in terms of today's lifestyles.
