Firm Description

Murphy Burnham & Buttrick (MBB), a multidisciplinary architecture firm based in the heart of New York City, offers a full range of design services for a broad spectrum of building types. MBB’s diverse portfolio includes educational, institutional, cultural, residential and civic projects, which range from planning and new construction to renovation and adaptive reuse. The three partners—Jeffrey Murphy, Mary Burnham, and Sara Grant—each bring unique perspective and skill to all of the firm’s projects and share an urban sensibility that manifests in a highly contextual approach to design. Integral to MBB’s approach is a belief that sustainability is an essential component of architecture, one that extends beyond environmental stewardship to express the vital connection between our buildings and their surroundings.

With design expertise and technical knowledge gained from decades of experience, the firm is structured to combine the production capabilities of a large firm with the personal attention that only a mid-size firm can consistently offer. The partners lead an interdisciplinary studio comprising thirty staff members including highly skilled architects, as well as preservation, sustainability and interior design specialists. The partners and their design team bring a multi-faceted approach that encompasses research, engagement, contextual analysis, technological innovation, and architectural and interior design. MBB is adept at structuring a highly collaborative design process, leveraging the strengths of all team members to create well-coordinated and cost-effective design solutions. MBB’s practice is characterized by meticulous and innovative programming, a thoughtful and perceptive allocation of space, and a focus on natural light and materiality as critical design elements.

With a strong knowledge base and commitment to design excellence, MBB has been recognized with numerous design awards that celebrate their creative expertise, as well as their high level of client service and consummate professionalism. At the core of MBB’s ethos is the belief that inspired design can positively impact the human experience. Architecture is the setting for life.
