ABOUT THE FIRM

Timothy Macdonald Incorporated, an interior design firm in New York City, was established in 1985. The firm’s work reflects Mr. Macdonald’s design experience in a diverse range of styles. He and his associates are dedicated to the realization of a variety or design aesthetics while consistently creating work of expertise and quality. Thus, each project demonstrates the firm’s awareness of furniture, fabric, architectural detail and references appropriate to a specific period and site.

Initially, Mr. Macdonald worked with the legendary Los Angeles designer, Val Arnold. There, he became familiar with the scope of service, both conceptual and practical, required to execute residential and commercial projects of the highest level. As Executive Vice President and Chief Designer of Donghia Associates for over 10 years, Timothy Macdonald honed these skills while responding to the demands and expectations of a discerning and sophisticated clientele.


Timothy Macdonald and his associates emphasize that the completion of beautiful residences must be coupled with professional availability and responsiveness to the client’s design and budgetary requirements. The firm is attentive to the client’s lifestyle and sensitive to cost and time parameters. The office environment reflects Mr. Macdonald’s belief in an efficient and organized workplace. Clients are often recommended to the firm by their architect due to Mr. Macdonald’s respect for the architect’s concept and collaborative skills. Mr. Macdonald’s work has been featured in such publications as The New York Times, Architectural Digest, and House and Garden.


The interior design philosophy of Timothy Macdonald Incorporated does not reflect a singular point of view. Rather, it provides an approach which best serves the architect and client while fulfilling the firm’s dedication to excellence. Macdonald has a unique ability to perceive the underlying character of the site, to listen to the clients’ spoken requests, to identify their unverbalized hopes, and to create, in a timely manner, traditional, contemporary and modern designs of quality and style.
