 The students each had to submit a design for the home. Give me a level. A team of professional architects from the outside came in and chose one, that of Noah Leon. What is it about your design that you were passionate about? I was really passionate about the porch. It's really important in New Orleans to spend time on your porch, to spend time in the community with your neighbors. And that was really important to me to make the porch part of the living space.
