Philpotts Interiors

Our firm began in the 1960s by infusing good design with island culture and creating a true sense of place for our residential and commercial clients.
Our founding designer, Mary Philpotts McGrath, drew upon her island home's rich heritage, landscape and spirit.
In doing so, she laid down the foundation of our firm.
As the state of Hawaii grew, so did the Philpotts team and its reputation.
Since the early 2000s Marion Philpotts-Miller, Lowell Tom, Holly Boling Ruiz and Jonathan Staub have carried the legacy forward, helping expand upon the firm's work to include recent notable projects such as Park Lane Ala Moana, Four Seasons Resort Ko'Olina and an international portfolio of residential clients.

Interior design is more than the making of a space.
It is the result of an intimate collaboration between designer and client, working together to enhance environments through an imaginative blend of aesthetic and function.
Rooted in Hawaii with a reach across U.S. mainland, and the Pacific, we are artisans of our craft.
Inspired by our firm's legacy and our clients' unique needs, we synthesize art, craft, and culture to create extraordinary spaces for living and working.
Our vision reaches far beyond the walls we're working within.

We design hotel interiors that offer guests a break from their everyday, while ensuring every morning that they "know where they are waking up."
Our cultural knowledge, sensitivity to landscape, and extensive local resources enable us to make a hotel authentically part of its region; and bring regional character into the hotel.
After all, authentic stories are what resonate with guests.
Having worked with some of the world's top hotel operators, we understand how to integrate brand-sensitive environments that stay true to the essence of the region.

We began designing residential interiors in the 1960s - collaborating closely with local artists and craftsmen including the famed Hawaiian residential architect Vladimir Ossipoff - and the discipline remains at the very core of Philpotts today.
Whilst our influence is rooted in Hawaii, we draw on cultures right across the world, expertly sourcing and procuring furnishings and dcor according to budget and style.
At the outset of each and every residential project, we take the time to consider the environment we're working on as a whole.

Commercial interiors are so often neglected, yet they have a profound effect on worker's productivity and well-being, as well as the company's brand.
Our designs are constantly evolving to keep pace with the ever-changing way in which people work.
Whether it's humanizing the workplace, providing space to collaborate, or incorporating the latest technology we are with a client at every step, adjusting to the new parameters and supporting them with good design.
With function and efficiency front of mind, we aim to bring new energy to every commercial space we take on.
