At 2n5 Studio, Inc., we bring together architecture, interiors, and integrated design-build expertise to create thoughtful spaces across residential, commercial, and federal sectors. Founded by Brenda Felix-Noel and Steven Noel, AIA, our Coastal Carlsbad studio was built on a shared passion for purposeful design and a people-first approach that values collaboration, transparency, and lasting relationships throughout every phase of the design and construction process.

With more than $2 billion in combined design, design-build, and construction experience, our team offers a comprehensive understanding of planning, design, construction, cost, and schedule integration. Our portfolio ranges from custom homes and renovations to commercial developments, tenant improvements, and large-scale federal projects exceeding $150 million. Through concept design, feasibility studies, project management, preconstruction services, and construction phase management, we deliver integrated solutions tailored to the unique goals of each client and project.

By combining creative vision with technical precision and real-world construction expertise, we create environments that are intentional, functional, and built to endure. The name 2n5 Studio reflects the integration of our founders’ families and represents the collaborative spirit that defines our work. No matter the scale or complexity of a project, we remain committed to designing spaces that strengthen communities, support meaningful connection, and create long-term value.
