Our Story

The Journey of THEHAUSS

Welcome to THEHAUSS, where we transform spaces into experiences and create homes that resonate with elegance, comfort, and individuality. Our journey began with a passion for design and a commitment to excellence, driven by the vision of our founder, Seda Akgun.

The Business Owner and Interior Designer Mrs Seda Akgun Gurtekin grew up in the small City of Hilden

From Hilden to the World

Our story starts in the industrious city of Duisburg, Germany, where Seda was born. She was raised in the charming city of Hilden, where her journey into the world of design began early. Seda immersed herself in the study of Design and International Business Management, laying a strong foundation built on creativity and strategic thinking. With these skills, she moved to Istanbul, Turkey, where she lived for 14 years, honing her craft and expanding her horizons.

The Birth of Achiteqt Design Studio

On October 25, 2019, while still living in Istanbul and studying Interior Design, Seda established her company, Achiteqt Design Studio, in Delaware. This marked the beginning of her American entrepreneurial journey, combining her academic knowledge with real-world applications to deliver exceptional design solutions.

Transition to THEHAUSS

In 2022, Seda relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina, bringing her expertise and vision to the United States. It was during this move that Achiteqt Design Studio was rebranded as THEHAUSS, a name that better reflected our mission and values.
