Reviews
"John B. Murray's latest monograph tells the tale of timeless homes, from architectural drafts to finishing touches. . . . Grab a glass of champagne--you've arrived." - Luxe Interiors + Design "The classical vocabulary is about maintaining a keen sensitivity to proportion and scale. Architect John B. Murray remains true to that dynamic with every project he undertakes. Here readers get a visual (and textual) tour of fifteen of his greatest architectural achievements, to date." - Milieu magazine "A refreshing reminder that classical architecture is alive and well. Their mastery of the vocabulary and sensitivity to proportion is evident in 15 residential projects that range from new country homes and a preserved barn to sensitive additions and prewar apartments in Manhattan." - Old House Journal "Whether Murray is redesigning an awkward apartment or creating a house from the ground up, one has the sense that this is the way it should always have been. His work has the subtle quality of a master who knows how to design spaces that will stand the test of time." - Bunny Williams, "John B.
