NOIR HOUSE
Interiors of quiet distinction.

( 01 ) — Selected Work
Featured Projects
Four residences, four registers of silence. A selection of work completed between 2019 and 2025.
02
The Monument
Forty-one floors above the city, a penthouse composed like a private gallery — long sightlines, low furniture, and a single material note carried through every room.
Smoked oak floors, honed Nero Marquina and a restrained palette of charcoal and bone allow the skyline to perform as the only ornament.

Villa Sera
“The desert teaches restraint. Nothing here raises its voice — not the stone, not the shadow, not the house.”

Maison 23, Paris
An eleven-suite townhouse in the 7ᵉ reimagined as a private hôtel particulier. Drag to wander.
( 02 ) — Approach
We create spaces that don’t ask for attention. They hold it.
NOIR HOUSE practices an architecture of subtraction. We work slowly, with honest materials and exacting proportion — because true luxury is measured in atmosphere, not ornament. Rooms should hold their silence. Light should arrive rather than perform.

One-off pieces drawn in-house and realised by master European ateliers.
vi.Project Direction
One team, one standard — from first sketch to final stem in the vase.
I
Discovery
Listening, walking the site, understanding how you live before anything is drawn. We begin with questions, not sketches.
II
Concept
Narrative, material palettes and spatial studies distilled into a singular direction — one idea, held firmly.
III
Development
Drawings, prototypes and samples resolved to the millimetre with our makers, until nothing remains arbitrary.
IV
Realisation
Build, install, style. We remain on site until the last book is placed on the shelf and the first evening light falls well.

The Studio
Founded in London in 2012. Twenty-two architects, designers and art historians across two continents.
“We are not decorators of rooms. We are editors of how light, matter and memory share a space.”
NOIR HOUSE began in a single Marylebone drawing room with one conviction: that the most luxurious interiors are the quietest. A decade later, the studio’s work spans penthouses above the City, villas at the edge of the Arabian desert, and a townhouse hotel off Rue de Grenelle.
The practice remains deliberately small. Every project is led personally by Elena and a dedicated director, from the first measured walk of the site to the final styling pass — an approach that limits us to eight commissions a year and has kept our standards uncompromising since 2012.
