Timothy Godbold’s creative practice is informed by a global perspective shaped by his Australian upbringing and formative encounters with some of the most influential visionaries of contemporary culture. An early interview with David Bowie—whose insistence on originality and boundary-pushing remains a cultural touchstone—proved especially formative. That ethos was later reinforced during Godbold’s tenure at Ralph Lauren, where a defining moment in a design meeting underscored the importance of resisting trends in favor of an authentic creative voice. These influences continue to inform Godbold’s work, driving a design philosophy rooted in originality, rigor, and innovation.

Godbold’s interiors are distinguished by a sophisticated fusion of modern, vintage, and contemporary elements, grounded by raw natural materials such as wood and stone. Bold silhouettes and confident palettes create spaces that are both highly functional and deeply expressive—inviting yet meticulously composed. His work reflects a profound respect for history while maintaining a forward-looking sensibility that challenges convention.

The studio offers a comprehensive range of services, including architectural presentations, immersive 3D renderings, and discreet, highly tailored client management. Projects span meticulous historical restorations and cutting-edge new builds, serving a diverse clientele from private individuals to families seeking enduring, design-driven environments.

Godbold’s work has been widely published in Luxe Interiors + Design, Elle USA, The New York Times, Forbes, Rue, HC&G, Elle Australia, CA Home + Design, and Lonny Magazine. His own residence received Interior Design magazine’s Best of Year Award for Best Restoration, and he is also a recipient of Luxe magazine’s Red Award—recognitions that underscore the studio’s design excellence.

In spring 2027, Godbold will release a major new monograph with Rizzoli, documenting architecturally significant houses of the Hamptons. The book explores 15 iconoclastic modernist residences on Long Island, offering a compelling study of architectural experimentation, cultural context, and enduring relevance.

Beyond practice, Godbold is a committed advocate for preservation through his work with the nonprofit Hamptons 20th Century Modern, dedicated to protecting and elevating the region’s modernist architectural legacy. This commitment reflects the same principles evident throughout his work: a respect for history, a belief in originality, and an unwavering vision for the future.
