Mignon Faget – Flagship

In time for Black Friday, Mayer Building Company delivered the expanded and renovated new Mignon Faget flagship located in Lakeside Mall. The project included an expanded “footprint” within the mall creating the need for an over sized glass storefront and entry. The project also new architectural forms throughout the ceilings and walls, displays and check out. With Mignon Faget’s storied history in New Orleans and with Mignon Faget’s secure place in the prestigious status of New Orleans brands, MBC understood that this project was going to be special. MBC’s efforts enhanced the new re-branding of Mignon Faget and brought its place-making to life. The walls, ceilings, display cases and sign band of the showroom swirl about like the waters surrounding our hometown and the new displays exemplify modern fine jewelry showcasing. A major challenge of the project was sourcing a cladding for the exterior storefront for the rounded and curved shapes that fit within the time frame of the project. A closer look at most contemporary interior mall storefronts preclude “curv-able” materials like gypsum or paneling. Most contemporary storefronts are clad in stone or pre-fabricated metal panels. Works great with right angles, but these parts do not bend or curve. We ending up field fabricating raw metal sheeting to create the wavy storefront. Overall, the what made this project the success that it was, was close co-operation with the owner’s representative Maghan Oroszi. Maghan took the role of facilitator and with her experience building other Mignon Faget stores guiding us, architect, other vendors and landlord to the successful opening of this true New Orleans sparkler.

Lehan Wilson, HOMEOWNER

I was concerned about doing a renovation at a place that was many states away from where I lived. I needed someone that I could count on and could handle every aspect of the renovation. I also required someone who was familiar with the permit requirements for an historical building in New Orleans….I would highly recommend Ryan Mayer to any potential client. I was extrememly pleased with the work he performed and would use him again for any additional contracting needs that I may have.

Margie Dominach

We are always excited to partner up with MBC to work on our new location developments or redesigns,
as we can always count on quality, timeliness, and most importantly, the right level of communication
in the client relationship.
As we grow City Greens, we look forward to working with the Mayer Building Company in the very near future.

Abhi Bhansali, CITY GREENS

It is with pleasure, and of my own initiative, I am writing this letter of gratitude
for the work you and your company performed at 4905-11 Magazine Street.

As the architect of that renovation, I worked closely with you, your superintendent
Fred Goodrow, and your staff during the months of construction. Your knowledge, experience, and good judgement, and that of your
employees, were critical in addressing these issues and contributed significantly
to the successful completion of the work.

Both the building owner and I are very proud of the results and are grateful to
you and your staff for a job very well done. I sincerely look forward to the next
time it is my good fortune to work with you.

Brooks Graham, GRAHAM LITTLE STUDIO

Thanks for everything, Ryan! We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Jewelynn Nice, TRINITY EPISCOPAL SCHOOL

We found the team at Mayer Building Company to be communicative,
eﬃcient, and responsive throughout our project. Capsule was able to
eﬀectively remotely manage this project extremely eﬀectively, resulting in an
on time delivery with only very minimum punch list. Please accept this letter
as recognition of your company’s evident skills in construction
management, quality control and safety.
