STUDIO · LONDON AND COPENHAGEN
Material before ornament
Alcove is an architecture and interior design studio making rooms that feel inevitable rather than imposed.
We work across homes, workplaces and hospitality, bringing architecture, interiors and objects into a single calm language. The aim is not a recognisable house style. It is a place that belongs completely to its light, material and occupants.
01 / THE STUDIO
A small team, closely involved
Every project is led by a director and supported by the same core studio from concept through site.
Mara Ellis
Creative Director
Mara founded Alcove to make rooms that feel inevitable rather than styled. She leads the studio’s architectural language and material direction.
Elias North
Design Director
Elias moves between interior architecture, furniture and lighting, turning each brief into a small family of precise gestures.
Noor Bennett
Studio Director
Noor directs delivery and sustainability, keeping the studio’s quiet ideas intact from first drawing to final handover.
02 / PHILOSOPHY
The best room is not the one with the most to say. It is the one that makes space for life to answer.
03 / PRESS AND RECOGNITION
