We design spaces that don’t just look good — they feel right. Our work is grounded in neuroscience, environmental psychology, and phenomenology.
We call this Neuroarchitecture: design that aligns with how the body and mind experience space.
At NOUMEN STUDIO,
our focus is not on what
we create, but how.
From interiors and architecture to public art and landscapes, we approach each project through a neuroarchitectural perspective — prioritizing atmosphere, immersion, and lived experience to create spaces that resonate deeply with those who inhabit them.
In a home, this means designing environments that feel welcoming and intuitively aligned with the rhythms of daily life. In hospitality settings, we shape spaces that encourage guests to linger, return, and form lasting connections. For cultural and community-focused projects, our work fosters engagement and shared experience. In retail and commercial contexts, a heightened attention to atmosphere and sensory engagement strengthens identity and deepens customer connection.
Across all scales, our goal is the same: to create environments that fulfill their function while leaving a lasting impression.
Our Team
Ákos Orbán · Co-founder
Ákos focuses on how architectural spaces are perceived, felt, and inhabited. His work integrates insights from neuroscience, phenomenology, and environmental psychology into the design process, treating atmosphere and sensory experience as fundamental architectural concerns rather than secondary effects.
A Fulbright Scholar at the Visual Neuroaesthetics Lab at CUNY, and doctoral researcher at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), Ákos brings an international perspective shaped by professional experience in New York, including work at Reddymade. At Noumen Studio, he leads conceptual development and research-led design frameworks, working across projects and collaborations between Budapest and New York.
Balázs Hudy · Co-founder
Balázs brings conceptual rigor and construction intelligence to Noumen Studio’s work. Alongside his professional background at Tuckey Design Studio in London, he is currently pursuing doctoral research at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), grounding his practice in both critical inquiry and built reality.
At the studio, he develops concepts into resolved architectural proposals, with particular strength in articulating spatial, material, and constructional details. His work bridges design intent and execution, ensuring that projects are delivered with clarity, craft, and coherence.
