Thoughtful architecture for real life
Designing calm, human spaces that connect people and place through natural materials, light, and context-driven design.
Architecture as a dialogue
I'm Elias Hart, an independent architect with a passion for creating spaces that resonate with their surroundings. My approach centers on natural materials, thoughtful use of light, and designs that respond to their context.
Each project is an opportunity to balance function with emotion, crafting environments that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
