Maison Rêve

A Victorian Salon Reimagined

Maison Rêve is a historic Victorian home reimagined as a Parisian-bohemian salon for Austin’s modern era. The house unfolds as a sequence of atmospheric rooms, each conceived as a vignette — intimate, layered, and designed to be lived in.

The interiors are grounded in deep, romantic hues and natural materials: indigo, burgundy, and plum softened by mink, walnut, cognac, and warm earth tones. Velvet, wood, and aged metals create a sense of richness without excess, balancing drama with comfort and ease.

Inspired by the European salon tradition, Maison Rêve is designed first and foremost as a place for gathering. Rooms are arranged to encourage conversation, lingering, and connection — spaces that feel cinematic yet welcoming, expressive yet relaxed.

Subtle references to 19th-century art, myth, and history appear throughout the house, adding quiet depth and echoing the many lives and eras the home itself has witnessed.

Maison Rêve unfolds as a progression — threshold, discourse, revelry, dream, ritual — an immersive environment designed for hosting, photography, and the quiet pleasure of inhabiting beauty.

An Artwork of Hospitality

Maison Rêve achieves what few spaces do: it is both maximalist and serene. Each room carries its own emotional register while contributing to a continuous architectural and aesthetic through-line. Velvet, marble, brass, rose gold, and distressed rugs connect the palette across sixteen unique spaces, while jewel tones rise like crescendos — burgundy, indigo, plum — tempered by mink, walnut, cognac, and warm earth tones.

The house feels curated rather than decorated: intellectual yet playful, dramatic yet deeply livable. It rewards photography at every turn while ensuring guests feel grounded, comfortable, and at ease.

Maison Rêve is more than a venue. It is an artwork of hospitality — a place where intimacy meets grandeur, and where every gathering becomes part of the house’s unfolding story.
