Project Details

WINCO’s Steel Replica Windows and Terrace Doors Make New Orleans’ Modernist Beauty a Standout

Designed in 1932, the once-declining Farnsworth Apartments on New Orleans’ historic St. Charles Avenue have a new lease on life.  According to the Society of Architectural Historians, “The Farnsworth Apartments were a unique addition to St. Charles Avenue in its frank expression of modernist principles. The streamlined horizontal emphasis, wraparound metal-framed windows, and flat roof were ideas new to New Orleans, not just this street.”

Among the most noticeable upgrades are the new windows and doors, which provide a bold, pop of style against the refreshed white brick exterior.   WINCO’s 3250 Steel Replica windows in a variety of grid patterns are finished in charcoal grey.  The new energy-efficient windows were designed to replicate the original steel windows and provide protection against coastal windstorms.  Completing the renovation, the architects chose WINCO’s NC82 Terrace Doors, which also meet local hurricane resistance requirements for safety.  

“Anytime someone describes the project, their first words are:  the building on St. Charles with the incredible windows!”  says Patrick Schwall, with Star Glass in Gretna, Louisiana, whose company installed the windows and doors.  “Everyone knows which building it is now.”
