Today marks the end of an era for GOAT. Our longest tenured team member moved home to Puerto Rico a few weeks ago and .harnish will be headed to NY soon for his next adventure. It’s been such a pleasure to share the studio with two incredibly talented and generous architects through all of our ups and downs.

As we say goodbye to Paula and Ryan, we are also looking forward to an exciting future. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for new projects, team members, and a vision for GOAT long into the future.

Happy Friday! Sharing a funky little project from our past to take you into the weekend. NOLAcool was a combination wine bar / curio shop planned for the Pontalba Buildings in the Vieux Carre. The design took shape while researching Baroness OG Baddie Michaela Almonaster Pontalba and her historic levels of awesomeness. Seriously, look her up. We imagined the small space as the Baroness’s 21st century drawing room where she’d wine & dine guests and dazzle them with her deep vinyl collection. Design is at its best when it has a touch of irreverence.

As 2026 gets rolling, we thought we’d circle back to the beginning… The very beginning. This is the project that started it all for GOAT. Our winning proposal for 2013’s ‘Designing Recovery’ competition was the first collaboration between future Principals Colin VanWingen and Peter Spera III and gave us a (much needed) financial jumpstart and a (less needed) confidence boost. The proposal re-imagines the historic shotgun typology, accounting for a higher base flood elevation while respecting the infill scale of most Nee Orleans neighborhoods. Shortly after the competition, we worked closely with to adapt and build (3) prototypes of the proposal in the St. Roch neighborhood. Lovingly referred to as the triplets, these homes represent GOAT’s first built work.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your friends at GOAT!

Every year, a member of the design team develops a custom holiday card for our clients and colleagues. The only parameters given are that it needs to be interactive in some clever, holiday inspired way and USPS needs to take it. This year’s ’paper doll chain’ concept was created by .harnish. Flip through the images to see some of the process and iterations he worked through.

This is the 10th version we’ve created and we hope they bring just a bit of joy to the season each year. We will see you all in the New Year for a creative, collaborative, contemporary 2026!
