Today on the podcast I speak with Lauren Caughley, the founder of Caughley & Co, an interior architecture and design studio that believes in the transformative power of spaces to enrich our human experience.
Originally from New Zealand, Lauren built her impressive career overseas, spending 12 years in New York City working for renowned firms Selldorf Architects and Morris ADJMI Architects. During this time, she worked on everything from residential homes to boutique hotels, retail spaces, and gallery design—projects that honed her craft and prepared her for the next big step: founding her own practice in 2021. Now based in Laguna Beach, California, Lauren is steadily shaping Caughley & Co into a studio that values collaboration and craftsmanship while taking on projects across New York, California, and New Zealand.
In this conversation, we talk about Lauren’s journey from New Zealand to New York, the lessons she learned working on high-caliber projects, and how she’s now balancing the early days of building her practice with family life and navigating working cross-country. We also discuss her thoughtful, approach to her work and the book that changed her life.
I know you will enjoy my kōrero with Lauren as much as I did.
