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 architecture and interiors to public art and landscapes, we approach each project through a neuroarchitectural lens, prioritizing atmospheric, experiential, and immersive qualities to craft spaces that resonate deeply with those who inhabit them.
Our approach adds measurable value to any project by creating spaces that transcend functionality to foster meaningful and memorable experiences.
In a home, this means designing environments that feel welcoming and intuitively aligned with the rhythms of daily life. In hospitality projects, we craft spaces that encourage guests to linger, return, and build lasting connections. For cultural or community-focused projects, our designs foster engagement and create memorable, shared experiences. In retail or commercial settings, our emphasis on atmosphere and sensory engagement enhances customer experience and strengthens brand loyalty.
By shaping environments through a neuroarchitectural lens, we help each space achieve its purpose while leaving a lasting impression on all who experience it.
The Noumen 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 and 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.
