We design the light, the rooms, and the years in between.
A private residential practice. Homes designed as complete worlds — calm, material-honest, made to be lived in for a lifetime.
View the workA home should feel inevitable — as if the light had always fallen this way, and the rooms had been waiting for you.
Selected work
The Linen Apartment
A nineteenth-century floor re-opened around a single shaft of north light. Lime plaster, waxed oak, and linen that ages with the family.
House on the Dune
Honed travertine, ash, and undyed wool — a palette taken from the shore it stands on, built to weather with it.
Courtyard Residence
A machiya rebuilt around its courtyard: cedar and washi against blackened steel, every room borrowing the garden's light.
The studio
Maison Verte is a small, principal-led practice. The people you meet are the people who draw.
Meet the studio →Fifteen years between Paris and Lisbon. Believes a room is finished when nothing can be removed.
Keeps the studio's material library — 400 samples of stone, timber and cloth, all specified by hand.
Every project is presented whole — plans, materials, light studies and furniture in one sitting. Never room by room.
Bring us your morning light.
We take a small number of projects each year, so we can give each one the whole studio.
