Founder Director
Irish born, London based, and on site more often than behind a desk. Building interiors that are meant to be lived in, since 2009.
Designed by Woulfe is led by Brian Woulfe, who founded the company in 2009.
His portfolio covers interior design and development work for private clients, property developers and commercial clients across Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region. Since 2009, in luxury residential and commercial interiors.
Brian oversees every stage himself, from the first concept and the space planning through to procurement, installation and the final styling. Favourite projects so far include the procurement and redevelopment of a coastal villa in Mallorca, and the refurbishment of a lateral pied à terre in Notting Hill.
A perfectionist with a razor sharp eye for detail and a hands-on approach. You will often find Brian on site, hard hat on, with The Woulfe Pack in tow.
Clients value his innate creative instincts, as well as his responsive, optimistic and inspiringly zealous attitude.
Exceptional interior design should enhance the way people live every day. Beauty, function and longevity, in balance.
A lover of the arts, Brian champions young designers and craftspeople in the UK and beyond, and his work often celebrates emerging and under-represented talent.
He seeks out artisans around the world to bring their workmanship into his interiors, enlists local designers and suppliers on international projects, and commissions one-off pieces rather than buying off the shelf.
That is what makes the handcrafted furniture, the custom joinery and the sourced finishes possible in the first place.
Every project is handled by a cherry-picked team of designers, architects and project managers, and delivered as one fully managed service.
A BIID Registered Interior Designer. Brian has sat on both the Professional Practice Committee and the Sustainability Committee, and mentors through the BIID.
A founding signatory of the environmental petition movement, which commits those who sign it to changing how the industry specifies and builds.
A proud member of the Institute of Designers in Ireland. IDI is committed to advancing the value and impact of design - inspiring, supporting and learning from one another along the way.
Brian has mentored students through KLC and other UK universities, part of a long-running commitment to bringing new designers into the profession properly.
No matter the scope or scale of a project, we would be delighted to hear about it. Share a little about the property and what you would like it to become, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
