Noah Gear is an architectural designer, educator, and maker whose practice moves between architecture, furniture, objects, and material research. He is the founder of Noah Gear Studio, an interdisciplinary design practice exploring how material, structure, and domestic space can carry memory, identity, and lived experience.

Gear’s work approaches design as both a technical and narrative practice, moving fluidly between the scale of the house and the objects that inhabit it. His current work includes residential projects, furniture and object collections, and ongoing material investigations in wood, glass, concrete, and resin. Central to his practice is an interest in weight: how things are supported, what they are asked to carry, and how structural relationships can make visible the emotional and cultural forces embedded within everyday spaces.

His work has been exhibited at Cornell University and in Miami, Florida, including his most recent exhibition, A House That Holds the Weight of Small Things, an evolving body of work examining Black domestic space through architecture and objects.

Gear holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Cornell University. He currently teaches architecture at the University of Miami School of Architecture while leading Noah Gear Studio.
