DNA Workshop

This World Health Day, we’re proud to design affordable housing communities that support everyday health and well-being.

Our renovation of Fairmont Tower in Shreveport transformed a 12-story historic high-rise, thoughtfully rehabilitating 254 units to support safer, healthier living - from improved systems to energy-efficient design.

Affordable housing design isn’t just about how a space looks. It’s about how it serves a community - creating better, long-term outcomes for the people who call it home.

Originally built in 1902, the Hotel Blanche became known for its luxury, welcoming guests like Johnny Cash and Al Capone before it closed its doors in 1967.

In 2018, DNA Workshop's hospitality team was tasked with bringing the historic site back to life.

Our architects and designers embraced the historic charm of the 56,000 sf property, seamlessly combining the old and the new.

The transformation prioritized guest flow, flexible public spaces, and back-of-house functionality. Historic architecture was thoughtfully adapted to support the demands of modern hotel operations.
