Noëlla Aoun Design Studio

Noëlla Aoun holds a Master’s degree from “Columbia University in the City of New York” in Architecture and Urban Design. She also studied architecture at the French Beaux-Arts School “ALBA – Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts” where she graduated with distinction. She recently moved from New York City where she interacted with top caliber architectural enthusiasts from all backgrounds and relocated to Beirut in order to establish her independent professional practice. Whether working on large-scale projects as an urban designer or on a smaller scale as an architect, Noëlla has strong work ethics and commitment to her profession. Noëlla has developed a diverse portfolio by working on various projects in several cities such as Beirut, New York and Seoul among others. The practice aims to shape functional, attractive, and sustainable spaces while taking into consideration the needs of all those who are actively involved in the development, especially the client and space users. The design of each project focuses on making connections between people and places, movement and urban form, nature and the built fabric. The procedure for developing each project consists of 3 phases: Idea + Start, the phase for confirming the client’s business goals and budget estimation. Research + Analysis, the phase for studying the site conditions and analyzing the physical, historical, environmental, social, and natural context of the project. Design + Creation, the phase for capturing all the collected insights in a holistic architectural vision and project concept including all the required drawings (initial concept, design development, construction documents and details). This 3-phase procedure leads to delivering unique and client-specific designs and ensures custom solutions due to a combination of unique concept and detailed technical knowledge within a contemporary vision.
