Our mission

Our mission is to design calm, lasting places that you grow into, and to build them exactly as they were drawn.

Meet our founder

A quiet hand behind every Maison project.

Founder and principal architect

Eleanor Hart started Maison in 2011 after a decade of building homes across Europe. She still opens every project on site, walks it at three times of day, and signs off every drawing before it leaves the studio.

How we work

Our approach

From the first site visit to the day we hand over the keys, each stage keeps the work calm, clear and on schedule.

Discovery

Direction

Concept Design

Development

Execution

Completion

We begin by getting to know you, your site and how the space needs to feel and work.

Together we set the direction: the character of the space, its materials and the way the rooms connect.

Your ideas become clear plans, forms and interior concepts you can see and respond to.

We refine every detail with you, from materials and lighting to furniture and finishes.

We work with trusted builders and makers on site, so your space is built exactly as drawn.

We walk through every room with you and hand over a finished space, ready to live in.
