Maison de la Luz in New Orleans was honored with a 2020 Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation by the Louisiana Landmarks Society. AKRF served as acoustical consultant for the conversion of a historic, early-1900s building into a 67-room boutique hotel. The conversion was developed by The Domain Companies and designed by Eskew Dumez Ripple and Studio Shamshiri. The Ace Hotel, another AKRF acoustical consulting project in New Orleans, won this award in 2017.
