About the projects:

Garden Cottages on Woodberry Phase I

In the summer of 2020, Vintage Homes debuted the design of five cottages to be built along Woodberry Avenue across from 3-acre Greenleaf Park and surrounding the new Provenance community garden. These quaint southern cottages are located just steps away from multiple parks, a swimming pool, clubhouse, gym, and community garden, which all encourage the residents to connect with the outdoors and neighbors. Homeowners were able to work with the Vintage Homes and its design team to customize their cottage. Each space is efficiently planned to include walk-in closets, utility rooms, and spacious open living areas. These Garden Cottages answered a true need for homeowners during an uncertain time with their beauty, comforts, and connectivity to the larger community.

Gates on Greenleaf Townhomes

The “Gates on Greenleaf” is an 11-unit luxury townhome project overlooking Greenleaf Park in Provenance. Designed by the Baton Rouge, Louisiana office of Looney Ricks Kiss in 2017, these townhomes feature high-end finishes like slate courtyards, handmade gas lights, quartz countertops, handmade porcelain tile, and wood flooring. Most floor plans also feature wet-bars, large pantries, utility rooms, and remote main bedrooms. The development offers a combination of one and two-story homes. Each townhome elevation and floor plan is unique. The exterior design style is reminiscent of Charleston, South Carolina with a French Quarter New Orleans flair. Architect: Michael Sullivan Looney Ricks Kiss (LRK), Developer: Provenance Development, Interior Designer: Jenny Johnston Interiors

Both of these projects were so well-received that in 2022, Provenance will introduce more smaller footprint homes and townhomes to meet the demand of Shreveport residents. Subscribe for updates on our website and follow us on facebook and Instagram for all the latest updates.
