INTERIOR DESIGNER…

Timothy Godbold was born with design in his veins. The son of an architect, Godbold spent his early years in Australia poring over his father’s blueprints. As he reached adulthood, Godbold’s passion for aesthetics and creation evolved into a successful career in fashion design where his work for Ralph Lauren brought him to New York. It was while living in the city that Godbold made the decision to shift gears, and move to Sag Harbor to delve into his burgeoning passion for interiors. The move was a success, and today his practice turns out residences across the globe – from California to Stockhlm to Bridgehamton – Godbold’s sophisticated sense of fashion translates beautifully into the world of residential design.

SITUATED IN THE… heart of the Hamptons, this 16,000 square foot Bridgehampton residence was designed with livable luxury in mind. While the architecture hails from just 2008, Godbold opted to modernize and simplify by removing the more ornate trims and unify with a seamless coat of white paint. At entry, guests are greeted by a Lindsey Adelman Knotty Bubbles Chandelier inspired by the risque Japanese art of Shibari, while to the right a geometry-focused dining space features an Ingo Maurer chandelier, Apparatus Neo table lanterns, and Zanotta chairs.

THE LIVING ROOM… carries on Godbold’s preference for monochrome with a mix of black, white and wood. At center, a woven Moooi pendant adds a dose of texture alongside a smattering of Avec Arcade pillows. The cool statuary marble used in the kitchen is replaced here with a warmer Calacatta Gold marble, and an inset bar lined in rich walnut serves as the heart of the space. Back by the main stairwell, a custom felt rug by Rosemary Hallgarten exudes a similarly tailored vibe when paired with a clean-lined Ludlow table from Restoration Hardware.

THE CONTINUATION… of pure white walls and rich walnut flooring to the upper level allows for a seamless dialogue between public to private. In the boy’s bedroom, Godbold celebrates classic Americana with a twist – featuring a bold black and white scheme topped with a sculptural lamp by Aerin. In the master, a more soothing palette is applied – centering around a natural wood bed, brass accessories, and ample marble fireplace. The en suite bath amps things back up in floor to ceiling white, topped with a dreamy Apparatus Cloud Chandelier. If this isn’t heaven we don’t know what is!
