I. — SELECTED WORKS

Six projects from a quiet year.

A selection of recent residential and commercial commissions. Full project sheets available on request.

NO. 01 — Residential · primary villa

The Pacific Heights House

A 1904 Edwardian, returned to the bones. Plaster walls hand-finished in a warm Roman clay. Vintage Knoll and Cassina alongside a custom-bench sectional and a single Calder mobile above the dining table.

NO. 02 — Residential · kitchen + dining

The Noe Valley Kitchen

A single-volume kitchen with a 13-foot marble island. White-oak millwork bookmatched across all twenty-three cabinet faces. Sub-Zero and Wolf concealed behind hand-pulled brass.

NO. 03 — Commercial · boutique hotel

Lantern House Hotel

Twenty-eight rooms, each finished as a private bedroom rather than a hotel. Hand-blocked wallpaper, marble bathrooms, custom millwork and walnut headboards. Now in its third printing.

II. — SERVICES

Three engagements, one studio standard.

Whether we’re seeing a project through from raw plaster to the day the linens are pressed, or simply restyling a single room, the work is led by one of three partners and a small team of two designers.

i.

Full-service design

Concept through installation. Architecture coordination, custom millwork, full FF&E specification, sourcing, procurement, install & styling. Six to fourteen months. We take on six of these a year.

FROM $48,000 DESIGN FEE · PLUS PROCUREMENT
ii.

Room refresh

Two to four rooms, working with what’s there plus considered additions. Custom upholstery, lighting, art consultation, styling. Eight to twelve weeks. The right entry point for an existing home that’s almost-there.

FROM $9,800 · PER SCOPE
iii.

Hour-by-hour consulting

Booked by the hour for paint-color decisions, vintage shopping companionship, single-room plans you’ll execute yourself. Three hour minimum, often a half-day. We do this on Fridays only.

FROM $650 · PER HOUR
III. — PROCESS

Five rooms,
five months apart.

No two engagements move the same way, but every one of them sits inside this five-plate frame.

PLATE I

Discovery

Two-hour studio visit. We listen, we sketch, we leave with a tin of polaroids of your existing home and a stack of questions.

WEEK 0 — 2
PLATE II

Concept

Mood boards, floor plans, a single hand-bound concept book. One revision, one direction chosen.

WEEK 3 — 8
PLATE III

Specification

Every drawer pull, every paint chip, every fabric yardage. Specified, costed, signed.

WEEK 9 — 16
PLATE IV

Sourcing

Vintage scouts, foundry orders, custom millwork. We keep a single shared procurement sheet, updated weekly.

WEEK 17 — 32
PLATE V

Install & style

Two weeks on-site. Furniture lands, art hangs, the linens are pressed. We leave you with a single Polaroid in a brass frame.

WEEK 33 — 36
IV. — STUDIO

Founded above a French bakery in 2012.

Studio Noir was founded by Anaïs Vincente and Hugo Park, both alumni of Roman & Williams. We have always been small on purpose. Twelve to eighteen homes a year. Two partners, two senior designers, one studio manager, one Pomeranian named Ledger.

We are ASID-certified and NCIDQ-licensed. We carry full professional liability. We work in California, Oregon, and (occasionally) Mexico City. We bill in hours and inches.

VI. — WORDS

Two notes from the table.

"

Anaïs walked our 1904 Edwardian and named what was good in it before we’d unpacked. Two years later, every room she touched is the room we open the door to first.

Hannah B.
PRIVATE CLIENT · PACIFIC HEIGHTS
"

Studio Noir treated our boutique like a private apartment. The lobby alone reads like a paperback first edition. Every check-in feels like a thank you note.

VII. — VISIT

22 Maiden Lane,
by appointment.

Tucked above the old French bakery on Maiden Lane, between Stockton and Grant. Ring the brass bell, the door is open. We are taking new commissions for autumn 2026 onwards.
