OUR APPROACH
OUR FOCUS
IS ON
YOU.
We're problem solvers at heart, so a challenge doesn't scare us. In fact, we welcome it. But what we can't stomach is ubiquity.
No two people are the same and we believe the same holds true for homes. While you won't see a signature 'look' in our portfolio, the common thread you will find is a sense of curiosity, resolute quality and unbridled imagination that coalesce in exceptional solutions to address the distinct nuances of each client's space.
"I want every composition to be a revelation."
MARC HOUSTON, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
"He is a visionary, an artist, an executor, and he has a discipline to detail that delivers results beyond anything you could have imagined."

OUR LEADERSHIP
I'm Marc Houston,
Founder and Creative Director of MHLI.
I launched my studio to share my passion for visual storytelling through space. My goal is to champion radical and innovative design endeavors and to foster meaningful, synergistic relationships with clients who seek a dynamic point of view, indulge creative risks and value artistry and authenticity as worthy investments in their well-being and their futures. I unravel the unique strands of their DNA — their curiosities, memories and aspirations — and weave them into a home that is distinctly theirs.
SUPERLATIVE MATERIALS
Surfaces that demand interaction, that beg to be touched.
We don't just decorate rooms. We imagine fully immersive sensory experiences to forge fundamental connections between user and space.
WE DESIGN HOMES THAT WILL QUITE LITERALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
EXQUISITE TEXTILES
The finest fabrics from emblematic European masters to the American avant-garde.
We champion the intricate details crafted by the human hand,
down to the last stitch.
