LA-ab and LSU
I'm headed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to have a look at a house for a feature in the October issue. While I'm there I'm quite excited to be stopping in to chat with a class of graduate students in architecture at Louisiana State University. Architect and educator Jim Sullivan was kind enough to invite me to meet his students, and in the process I got a look at some of his own work at his firm LA-ab. He told me that only after getting tenure at LSU, where he also heads up the Research Office for Novice Design Education, was he able to devote more time to his private practice, but he's got a couple projects under construction now.
Check out the slideshow of his work and let me know if there are any spots in Baton Rouge I should not miss.

hey aaron! i am the owner of the properties that jim sullivan designed in lafayette and baton rouge. yeah modernism!! thanks for the love. i also have an award winning sushi restaurant, tsunami sushi sitting on top of the architecturally glorious building called the shaw center for the arts on the mississippi river, in downtown baton rouge. i'd love for you be our guest at dinner. please contact me if you'd be interested. thanks again for the shout out.
Leah Simon's restaurant Tsunami is definitely worth checking out along with the entire Shaw Center. The Sunflower is an amazing dish! Ty Larkin Interiors on Government Street did a great renovation on a craftsman style house for their showroom. It would be worth a look. Have fun in Baton Rouge!
i second the shaw center/tsunami. also check out blouin street by city park, there is a great house midblock.
The house on Boulin is very nice.
Leah, thanks for your note. I'm just seeing it now, though as it happens I did end up eating at Tsunami in the Shaw Center. Good food! And alligator sushi, for heaven's sake. I was skeptical, but in the end it was pretty good. The Shaw Center is pretty nice too, though architecturally I think the New State Capitol is my favorite building in town. The Old State Capitol is pretty incredible too.
