Our mission is to deliver bespoke interiors that reflect our client’s stories and enhance all the ways they live.

What we do

We design interiors that connect people to place. Understanding the complex relationships we have with our homes, we create beautiful, individual interiors that suit you and your lifestyle. Enhancing the way you live and your experience of ‘home’, we work with you, your space and your style to deliver something truly unique.

How we work

We believe that the best work is a result of collaboration. Our skilled and passionate team work in partnership with our clients, consultants and artisans to create unique and timeless interiors.

The first step is the conceptual planning stage where we establish design rules and clearly set out language, terms and criteria for the project. This helps give our clients both a project overview and clarification of process.

From concept comes our detailed planning and documentation phase, consolidating the detail and clearly illustrating the intent prior to moving into the tendering detail. This gives our clients a full understanding of scope.

Our tender stage provides technical documentation, schedules and information suitable for pricing from every trade involved. This level of detail will later form the basis of our detailed construction documentation and gives our clients budget guidelines.

LUXURY IS IN EVERY DETAIL

Our goal

If every new project is the brushstroke on our artist’s canvas, the Walsh palette is bold yet subtle, an intriguing blend of organic textures and refined materials, sophisticated and strong silhouettes, a contemporary elegance mingled with a timeless spirit.

Our thoughtful approach and seamless integration of architecture and interiors ensures each and every project speaks to our clients. Our effortless spaces evoke the need in all of us for ‘home’, for moments of calm, inspiration and renewal. With skill, intuition, knowledge and passion we create homes that bring families together, yield joy, regenerate and invigorate. Homes that are made for you.

Dedicated to our belief that luxury is in every detail, it’s our client’s satisfaction that is our ultimate goal.
