Conor Gibson

I was born and raised in Natchez, Mississippi, and studied architecture at Mississippi State. I moved to New Orleans in 2008, worked for a large design-build firm, and after ten years of commercial work — and after designing and building my own house — I shifted the practice to residential. I don’t just draw a house and hand it off. I stay involved from the first sketch through the last punch list.

Most clients come with a lot, a house that no longer fits, or a photograph they can’t stop looking at. My job is to turn that into a building that works — the foundation and the frame, the structure, the finishes and millwork, and a house a family can actually live in.

Because I hold both licenses, the drawing and the jobsite belong to the same person. Details don’t get value-engineered out by someone who never sat in the room. If something needs to change, I change it. If a joint isn’t right, I build it again.
