Wisznia | Architecture + Development is a design-oriented firm operating in the architecture and planning sector, based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The practice traces its origins to 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas, founded by Walter Wisznia, and Marcel Wisznia opened the New Orleans office in 1973 after graduating from Tulane University. Following the death of Walter Wisznia in 2004, Marcel redirected the firm toward real estate development, which now represents the majority of its work. The company is actively engaged in five developments in downtown New Orleans, all mixed-use projects that repurpose existing historic structures for mainly multi-family residential use. In 2020, The Garage received an Award of Merit from the Louisiana AIA Architecture Honor Awards, reflecting recognition within the regional architectural community. The firm maintains a relatively small professional team and sits at the intersection of design and development within the local market.
