A Boutique Design Atelier
A home
A home
no one else
has.
We design the home that holds your story — and your legacy. Not a Pinterest board. Not the house down the street. Yours.
I believe God created each of us as an individual, with a style all our own — and that's worth celebrating. How boring would it be if every home looked the same? My work is helping you create a space that confidently reflects who you were designed to be.

The Three Studios
One Studio.
One Studio.
Three Ways In.
Every project, regardless of tier, is authored through the Sentenac House Formula and held to a single standard. The difference is scope, custom depth, and who leads — never the taste.
i.
Jr Studio
Junior Designer · Formula-Strict
An entry into the studio. One to three rooms, curated through our trade library — light on custom, heavy on edit.
$15K – $30K invested per room
4–8 months
SCOPE
- 1 – 3 rooms
- Light construction
- Curated trade sourcing
- Very light custom
- Procurement managed by SHI
ii.
Studio Edit
Senior Designer · Nohea-Directed
A senior designer leads — Nohea directs the concept, edits, and final approvals. Custom + curated, beautifully balanced.
$35K – $70K invested per room
6–10 months
SCOPE
- Multi-room or one major space
- Heavy construction
- Mix of custom + curated
- Architectural detailing
- Procurement managed by SHI
iii.
Signature
Authored by Nohea
A direct collaboration with our Creative Director. Whole-home and legacy renovations built on commissioned furniture, artisan craft, and one-of-one sourcing.
$75K+ invested per room
8–36 months
SCOPE
- Whole-home remodels & new builds
- Custom furniture, art, lighting
- Architectural collaboration
- Heirloom procurement
Our floor is a $25,000 minimum total investment. Below that, we can happily recommend designers that we refer out to.
The Sentenac House Formula
How a home becomes
How a home becomes
unmistakably yours.
PHASE 01
Discovery
Application, paid consult, and a slow conversation about how you actually live, gather, and want to be remembered in this home.
PHASE 02
Concept
Mood, palette, materials, and architectural moves. Custom pieces are commissioned here — furniture, art, millwork, lighting.
PHASE 03
Author & Source
We source through artisans, antique dealers, and our trade library. Every piece is approved before a single PO leaves the studio.
PHASE 04
Install
Single-day reveal. Beds made, art hung, candles lit. You arrive to a finished home — not a punch list.
Who We Talk To
A Sentenac House Client.
The most important thing on this site. If you read this and feel seen — we're already speaking the same language.
Yes — This Is You
- You have a deep love of family, with a home worth investing in to make truly yours.
- You've been to the model home and your neighbor's house — and you want neither.
- You want pieces with a story. A commissioned table. A one-of-one painting. A hand-glazed tile no one else has.
- Faith and stewardship are baked into how you make decisions.
- You'd rather wait for the right thing than buy a placeholder.
- You say "I trust you — just tell me what to do."
No — This Isn't Us
- You want Pinterest replication. We don't copy — we author.
- Your full project investment is under $40K. A stager will serve you well.
- You're shopping designers on price. Procurement margin is how we deliver custom.
- You want shock-value design or trend chasing.
- The household is split on the process. Both spouses must trust us, or we politely decline.
- You want it fast. Legacy is built with intention.
Our test: would you be proud to tell the story of a custom piece we made for you at a dinner party? Then we should talk.
Selected Work
A small portfolio,
A small portfolio,
deliberately.
We take twelve to twenty projects a year. These are the ones we want to be known for.
What We Believe
Six things we won't compromise.
i.
Uniqueness
No client gets a room someone else could have. Custom is the default — not the upsell.
ii.
Integrity
We price what the work is worth. We say what we mean. We stand behind every install.
iii.
Faith
This studio is a calling. We lead with prayer, patience, and trust — and design with reverence.
iv.
Family
We design for the people who live there. Not the people who'll see it on Instagram.
v.
Quality
Materials, craftsmanship, and finish that still feel right twenty years from now.
vi.
Stewardship
Of our clients' money, our team's time, the land we build on, and the gifts we've been given.
The Atelier
Nohea Sentenac
Nohea Sentenac
Founder & Creative Director
I started rearranging rooms at four and sketching floor plans at eleven. Two+ decades and twelve years of corporate operations later, I built Sentenac House — the studio I wished existed.
My role here is creative direction, not drafting. I author the concept for every Signature home, set the standard our designers carry forward, and protect the brand from the inside out. Our team handles the orders, the spec sheets, the install logistics — so I can do what I'm here to do: see the home our client can't yet picture, and build it one intentional piece at a time.
Sentenac House is a family business rooted in faith. We design with reverence — for the past, for craftsmanship, for the people who will live in the rooms we make. We're not for everyone. We're for the family willing to wait for the right thing.

By Application
Begin a Project
We take twelve to twenty projects a year. Every client starts with our pre-consultation application — a slow, generous conversation about your home, family, and the way you want to live. If we're a fit, we book a 45-minute consult with Nohea.
Our project floor is a $25,000 total investment minimum.
If that isn't right for you yet — bookmark us. We'll be here.
