Interiors
with conviction.
Calm, confident interiors considered as a complete architectural experience.
Spaces resolved as a whole.
Michael Murray Studio creates considered interiors for private homes and residential developments. Our work is grounded in proportion, the integrity of natural materials and the way one space relates to the next.

02 / THE STUDIO
A personal approach to every project.
We are a focused design studio with a clear creative perspective and a collaborative way of working. Our attention is on the architecture of interiors, their material expression and the details that make a space feel complete.
Our approach starts with listening, then shaping an interior that feels coherent from its broad spatial relationships to the smallest considered junction.
Michael Murray
FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR
