The Full Story
EMMA Housing
At EMMA Housing, we believe every house is special, with its own personality and charm. We put a lot of love and care into every detail to create a home that feels just right.
Our goal is to craft the perfect house, waiting for the future owner it’s meant for. No two projects are ever the same because every home deserves to be as unique as the people who will one day live in it.
Mission
Our mission is to craft one-of-a-kind homes that feel personal, timeless, and full of soul. We design with intention—choosing each layout, finish, and feature with the future owner in mind. Our goal is simple: create spaces that feel like they’re already home to someone, just waiting to be found.
Vision
We want to build a name that people recognize, trust, and fall in love with. When a house is made by EMMA Housing, we want that to mean something. Like a signature piece, it should carry quiet confidence—timeless, elegant, and unmistakably ours.

The origin
EMMA Housing
EMMA Housing was born from a simple idea — that every house has potential, and with the right vision, it can become something truly special. I’ve always been drawn to homes that feel forgotten, outdated, or overlooked — the ones with good bones, hidden charm, and stories waiting to be rewritten.
Estelle's passion for design has always been grounded in the details: clean lines, quality materials, and spaces that feel personal and timeless. She created EMMA Housing to bring that vision to life — one project at a time. For her, it’s not about following trends or rushing the process; it’s about respecting the character of each property and creating homes that feel thoughtful, elevated, and built to last.
Every EMMA project reflects that same belief — that good design, done with care, transforms more than just a space. It adds value, creates connection, and turns a house into something people instantly recognize — and want to call home.
French touch
For Estelle, design has always been more than what you see — it’s about how a space feels. Raised in France, she grew up surrounded by timeless architecture, quality craftsmanship, and the quiet, effortless elegance that defines French culture. Over there, good design is subtle, intentional, and built to last — it’s not a trend, it’s a way of life.
When Estelle moved to California, she saw incredible properties but also noticed what was often missing: the refined balance, simplicity, and attention to detail that European homes naturally embody. That’s what inspired her to create EMMA Housing — bringing a French perspective to the American market, with homes that feel thoughtful, timeless, and beautifully crafted.
Her passion lies in blending understated luxury with functionality — creating spaces that elevate everyday life while honoring the character of each property.
The Search for Hidden Potential
In Estelle’s eyes, finding the right property is never about chance — it’s about instinct, patience, and vision. Every EMMA Housing project begins with the search for what others might overlook — a house with hidden charm, strong foundations, and untapped potential. She approaches each opportunity like discovering a raw diamond: imperfect at first glance, but full of possibility.
It’s in these forgotten or outdated spaces that Estelle sees the future. With the right care, thoughtful design, and meticulous execution, what once felt ordinary is transformed into something rare — a home reimagined with character, elegance, and lasting value.
At EMMA Housing, every house starts as a blank canvas — a rough stone waiting to be refined. The result is more than just a renovation — it’s a jewel crafted to stand the test of time.
