Michael Rouchell Architect

A lifelong resident of New Orleans, I graduated from Tulane University School of Architecture in 1989. I specialize in traditional architectural design for residential and small commercial projects. During the time when I was enrolled at Tulane, I became interested in traditional architecture. I would travelto and from home on the Saint Charles Avenue Streetcar, where I would observe all the late nineteenth and early twentieth century architecture of Saint Charles Avenue and the Central Business District. I became more and more interested in traditional architecture, and by the time I was in fourth year, I was fully committed to designing traditional architecture. I passed the Louisiana State Architecture Review Exam in 1994 and became licensed to practice in Louisiana in 1995. I became licensed in Alabama in 2006. I became affiliated with the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), whose mission is to teach classical architecture and design to architects and architecture students. In 2014, I began a local chapter of ICAA covering the State of Louisiana. I am a board member and consulting architect for Felicity Street Redevelopment, Inc. since 2013. I am a member of the New Urban Guild, a group of architects and planners dedicated to designing better places through traditional design.
