CULTIVER

Cultiver is an Agri(Cultural) Center in New Orleans that fosters a sense of community among diverse cultures while introducing new generations to the city's essence through the power of food. Food acts as a bridge, uniting the people of the city.

Our cultural center is strategically located to harmonize with the city grid and the natural flow of the Mississippi River. The design features two grand culinary theatres that collect water for a vast farm. The roofs efficiently channel water into an underground cistern, which then nourishes the abundant vegetation. Local fruits and vegetables thrive on the ground, vertical shelving, and hydroponic gardens. Within these theatres, food and local dishes are lovingly prepared, creating an unparalleled dining and performative experience.

In line with its commitment to the community, the center generously gives back surplus produce, contributing to alleviating the hunger crisis in the city.

Step into Cultiver, and you'll find yourself immersed in an enchanting world where food, culture, and design blend seamlessly, embracing the diversity of the city and cultivating a stronger, more connected community. Embark on a journey of culinary discovery and cultural appreciation at Cultiver, where every moment is an opportunity to savor the essence of New Orleans and celebrate the power of food to unite us all.
