CLODAGH opened her New York based architectural and design studio in 1983. The firm provides an array of services for architecture, interior design, product design, and even feng shui consultation. Current projects include the home for the CEO of Elektra Entertainment and a spa in Kiawah Island, S.C. Her sensitive use of materials and sensual designs have drawn the attention of many high-profile clients. When asked to explain her philosophy of Total Design, she said: "It incorporates all of the senses and elements, feng shui, color, and sounds. It’s being aware of everything, and how the body reacts in a space. And that’s what we try to do with our projects. We try to lead but are not didactic. Total Design is showing people that a home office in a bedroom is not a good thing to have, or that an overscaled table in a small place might be great for them. Challenging convention is a large part of what we do."
