Never mix business with pleasure? We think that's a bit of a cop-out and anyway, aren't some rules just asking to be broken? The owners of this New Orleans apartment certainly thought so and wanted the space to function as a comfortable and welcoming pied-a-terre, but also as a workspace.
The private residence overlooks the Mississippi River and is close to the city's lively French Quarter. It's part of the iconic 34-storey building that now houses the Four Seasons Hotel, once the World Trade Center and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. That alone puts the apartment among the world's best homes, and since the landmark tower was recently restored and enhanced to become a five-star hotel it's become a very desirable address indeed.
