Kris Turnbull launched his own design studio in Belfast in 2007 and today the business has grown into a highly acclaimed architectural and luxury design studio that is highly regarded here on the island of Ireland and internationally.
Growing up Kris always had a passion for art and music, but he never thought that a successful career could go hand in hand with creative passions. ‘At school I always excelled at art but I never really knew where it could take me. After school I went on to art college in Belfast and from here I moved to the US for 18 months where my creative design and spatial planning skills where really developed. Returning home to Belfast I started working with an interior design company, where I held the position of Design Director before leaving to accept a position in Chelsea, London. I was only in London for a short time before I returned home to set up my own design studio in Belfast in 2007. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to go out on my own, but during my time away previous clients were in constant contact and I realised the opportunity was there and I just needed to have confidence in myself and make it happen,’ Kris explains.
From opening his first studio on the Ravenhill Road in Belfast, Kris has never looked back and even during the financial downturn in 2008, things continued to flourish with Kris working for clients at home, and indeed away, with projects in the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
‘Whilst I have lots of clients throughout Ireland, I also get the opportunity to work on luxurious homes for private clients and property developers all over the world. I really have been fortunate to work on some amazing homes to date, including two royal residences on Avenue Foch in Paris and The Bishops Avenue in London.’
