When it comes to equating design with energetic balance, harmony, and holism, Clodagh was always forward-thinking. Early on in her illustrious 40-year career, she integrated feng shui, biophilia, and chroma- and aromatherapy into her interiors, long before the concepts had reached mass acceptance. It was always intuitive for her to address all five senses when she furnished a room or laid out its architecture, and from the earliest age growing up in Ireland, she tuned in to nature’s healing powers.

Clodagh’s recent projects include the Six Senses Kaplankaya Resort and Spa—including its moon garden and meditation labyrinth—in Turkey; the Crossing, luxury riverfront apartments in Washington, D.C., with a focus on intentional living; and the public and residential spaces for architect Rem Koolhaas’s Avery Condominiums in San Francisco. Last year her Life in Balance Spa at Miraval Austin was named North America’s Best Resort Spa by the World Spa Awards. Also an avid product designer, Clodagh has created carpets, bedding, fixtures, hardware, lighting, and outdoor furniture, and has an eponymous collection of indoor/outdoor fabrics with Perennials.
