Her designs were able to meet the esthetics but also to capture the functionality needed. We are extremely satisfied with her work and the oversight of the construction project was a key component. **★★★★★ — Kooches Handmade Rugs, Jan. 2017** > My wife and I hired Solon Murdoch to design and supervise the construction of a 1200/sqft addition. They designed a spectacular more contemporary addition that somehow looks amazing with our 120 year old home on the water. We couldn't be happier. They are genius, creative and very professional. We loved working with Shea and Kelly and their entire staff is great. We look forward to working with them on our next project! **★★★★★ — ABC Worldwide Stone, April 2014** > We have worked with Murdock Solon several times on a variety of jobs. The architects in this office are among the smartest and most creative we work with. They are in control of every aspect of a project and put their clients needs first every time while deftly navigating unexpected delays with grace and precision. They are progressive in their thinking, and tailor each selection beautifully to the client's wishes. The collaborative process is always very rewarding and the end result is a great product. Murdock Solon gets our highest stamp of approval. **★★★★★ — hfinemore, Nov. 2013** > I have worked with Shea and Kelly on a number of projects, both for my personal residence as well as commercial projects. Our initial relationship began with a renovation to my home in Greenwich, CT in 1999. The project involved gutting the bathroom and kitchen. The project took place in a period stone home, and required attention to detail in coordinating how a modern intervention could be installed seamlessly within the existing structure. Since that first project we have subsequently worked on 4 additional projects (2 commercial and 2 residential) and currently we are working on our 5th; an addition to my current home in Greenwich, CT. This project includes an addition to the main house for use as a family room, as well as a new pool. I believe any property Owner would benefit working with the talented MSA team and find the experience to be a pleasant one as well. **★★★★★ — EcoSmart Fire, April 2013** > We've worked with Murdock Solon Architects on multiple projects in which our product, EcoSmart Fire, was incorporated into their architectural vision. Their designs are modern, sophisticated, and always smart! They don't design for the sake of design; they design to solve problems with architectural solutions that make sense. It's been a pleasure working with Murdock Solon Architects and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a residential or commercial architect! ## Selected projects - [Tribeca Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tribeca-penthouse-pj-vj~5377102) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 7 - Description: Murdock Solon Architects were asked to completely renovate a 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom penthouse apartment in Tribeca.
