Susan Quirke Creative Director was featured in an article on trends & designers of the future January 2006 as the Interior Designer to watch out for in the future due to her unique cutting edge design style.

QMC design to bring out the full potential of a space. During the design process QMC evolve a design in line with the client’s needs, aspirations and budget. From initial brief to concept & design development QMC work to find solutions to problems and develop a design that best suits a space both technically and aesthetically. Through the addition of specialist design elements such as bespoke lighting, artwork & furniture design we compliment the overall design.

Interior Architecture:

Interior Architecture involves the manipulation of space, which can have structural implications and involve permissions from both Local Authorities & Landlords. QMC designed alterations have involved forming fire escapes, building internal rooms, wet room design, extending mezzanine floors, adding additional floor space and creating free standing structures.

This involves dealing with Local Authorities gaining permissions for proposed works, working with specialists in design development, commission & management of contractors during the construction period as well as management of council signoff and working closely with the client at all stages of the project to ensure total integration of all their needs & complete budget and time management.

Interior Design:

QMC interior design involves the selection of products & materials, which best compliment the space. We research and source high quality products, which are functional and can be incorporated into the project bearing in, mind the site limitations. Often due to space considerations QMC bespoke design items, which fit perfectly with the overall surroundings. QMC work with innovative materials such as glass, leather, stainless steel and specialist lighting to create modern creative solutions for the space.
