Murray opened his doors in the spring of 1972, with a swift impact on the architectural landscape of Long Island. The work from his team quickly became recognized amongst their peers for their clean, efficient designs. In 2010, after working under Donley for over twelve years, the current team took over the company and renamed it DHMurray Architecture, in honor of their mentor. The new DHM team continued to execute high-end traditional homes and maintained a strong status amongst the existing client base. Under new ownership, their client base grew rapidly. It quickly became apparent that the demand had changed on Long Island and clients were looking for a wider range of styles and projects. Today, with a growing team of designers who have served as lead on projects in all areas of New York and Beyond, DHMurray Architecture continues to expand its range of expertise. The portfolio has grown to include several commercial projects which range anywhere from housing to restaurants to retail and DHM now serves a much broader range of clients, yet continues to provide the high level of service that it has since its inception. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Floor Plans - Pool House Design & Construction - Home Restoration - Barn Design & Construction ### Areas Served - Huntington - Southampton - West Babylon - Oceanside - Glen Cove - South Huntington - Woodbury - North Hills - Glen Head - Flower Hill - Old Westbury - Locust Valley - Lloyd Harbor - Muttontown - Roslyn - Brookville - Lake Success - Sands Point - Laurel Hollow - Oyster Bay Cove - Upper Brookville - Huntington Bay - Bridgehampton ### Typical Job Cost $500,000 - 1 million New Construction: $1,000,000+ Renovations and Additions: $500,000+ ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | DHMurray Architecture | | Address | 44-02 11th Street Suite 405, Long Island City, New York 11101, United States | | Phone | (929) 395-0094 | | Website | http://dhmurray.com | | License Number | 035712 | | Followers on Houzz | 25 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — https://www.instagram.com/dhm.architecture/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [DHMurray Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/dhmurray-architecture-pfvwus-pf~815175247) - **Website:** http://dhmurray.com - **Phone:** (929) 395-0094 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2019), for Service. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 8 reviews** ### All 8 reviews **★★★★★ — Amy Kohn, May 2018** > We highly recommend DH Murray! We are in the process of completing our 2nd major house project with the team and they are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are knowledgeable, creative, personable and are always available to quickly answer questions and handle plan revisions. The team has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied with the end product. They have great industry contacts and referrals, and collaborate well with everyone involved (e.g. the village, contractor, landscape architect). Despite the space constraints with our home, they were able to deliver a design that provided us with everything we envisioned. We would be excited to work with DH Murray again on future projects! **★★★★★ — Steven Goldberg, May 2018** > I worked with the architects at DH Murray and had an absolutely unbelievable experience. > > They created a plan for my house that I could not believe was possible, and then the finished product was beyond my wildest expectations. > > I have an would continue to recommend them for anyone looking to build or remodel their homes. > > DH Murray are the BEST!!!! **★★★★★ — Ilyse Landau, May 2018** > DHMurray did a fantastic job on our renovation! They were a pleasure to deal with throughout the design process. John was great in helping us figure out exactly what we wanted to achieve. The results are phenomenal. The entire team was also extremely helpful and responsive during the entire construction phase. I would definitely use again and whole heartedly recommend. **★★★★★ — Jeff Hershkowitz, May 2018** > The DH Murray team is talented, creative, responsive, fun to work with and flexible. They were the most upfront & straight foward of all the architects we met with, and I got the sense that they were interested in collaborating on the design vs handing us a set of finished plans, which was really important to us. We met with them one evening per week for 5-6 weeks during the design process, which we fondly remember as “Architect Tuesdays” Each week they made a lot of progress and presented us with different options, and entertained & worked through the craziest of ideas. They did a great job dealing with the Town of North Hempstead, and did an amazing turnaround on amendment we needed to get approved mid-project. Overall the end product was great, we love our house, and would recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — davesich, May 2018** > The Dream Team! We hired DHMurray Architecture to design a new home, including interiors, on the North Shore of Long Island, NY. The DHMurray team includes both architects and interior designers to bring together a cohesive project inside and out. We were so impressed with their versatility and creativity and their ability to translate our family’s day-to-day living style and needs into the perfect home for us, a transitional design which blends shingle-style with a clean, airy interior. We appreciated their outstanding professionalism; true concern for our needs; down-to-earth, approachable interpersonal style; and dedication to creating an exquisite design. From the moment we hired them, they were there at every step making the entire process smooth and easy for us – from the initial, conceptual phase to getting the necessary building permits to assisting with choosing our builder. We very highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — HA Photography, May 2018** > I've had the pleasure of working with DHMurray Architecture in photographing several homes they designed. Their work is stunning with every detail carefully thought out. They are an absolute joy to work with, looking forward to photographing future projects for them. **★★★★★ — Jeff Pinsky, April 2018** > Can't say enough good things about John, Adam, JD and the team at DH Murrary. They were true partners in the design and building of our custom 5,000+ sq ft home in Sands Point, NY. Throughout the process their quick turnarounds and ability to accommodate alterations as we had new ideas helped us complete the project in record time. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — WALTER SIEBER, April 2018** > DHMurray did the job and did it right. They were able to translate the architectural design ideas in our heads into awesome floor plans and stunning elevations on paper. This office of professionals held to scheduled dates and delivered each and every time. During construction they were responsive to the contractors inquires and provided the needed information in timely manner.. ## Selected projects - [Classic Coastal Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-coastal-residence-pj-vj~3241396) - Location: Sands Point, NY - Photos: 13 - Description: A charming, shingle-style home on the North Shore of Long Island defined by a charming, asymmetrical design and steep gables that are reminiscent of the nearby Hamptons. - [Brick Tudor Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brick-tudor-estate-pj-vj~2939221) - Location: Muttontown, NY - Photos: 10 - Description: This private tudor estate, nestled on Long Island’s north shore, displays its elegance and traditional style as illustrated by its architectural details, inside and out.

The shade structure is situated on a beautiful Long Island property and designed to address the seasonal sun exposure.

This presented a unique design challenge for the project. In this major renovation, the architects removed the existing roof and created a two story addition which allowed us to refocus the entry point by using a main gable to accent it. Gray siding and a black roof was used on the facade to create a transitional aesthetic. - [Bright Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-traditional-pj-vj~2994016) - Location: Flower Hill, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: This split ranch home located in a quaint North Shore Village on Long Island was given new rooflines to heighten its stance and improve curb appeal. Traditional architectural detailing, sustainable materials and a timeless color palette provide a classic farmhouse aesthetic that the homeowner will enjoy for years to come. Raised ceilings and custom millwork provide a bright, inviting interior environment. The use of a similar color palette combined with an abundance of glass integrates the desig… - [Huntington Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/huntington-traditional-pj-vj~2994022) - Location: Huntington, NY - Photos: 7 - Description: The charm and traditional character surrounding Huntington Village, NY were strong influences for this home’s expansion and renovation. A large rear addition helped open up the floor plan while flooding the new and existing spaces with natural light. A redefined entry, improving rooflines, revised window patterns and a new exterior facade created the feel of a brand new home with a nod to the traditional elements enveloping the neighborhood. The existing brick was maintained along the front faca… - [Woodbury Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodbury-traditional-pj-vj~2994024) - Location: Woodbury, NY - Photos: 7 - Description: The completely renovated, two-story private residence in central Long Island features a traditional exterior and a center hall plan. The design melds multiple architectural styles yet results in a bright, comfortable family home. The transitional interiors mix contemporary materials, furniture, and fabrics with a timeless design that flows seamlessly out to the rear garden and shade structure. These outdoor spaces continue the inviting feel of the home while perfectly suited for entertaining. - [Classic Clapboard Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-clapboard-residence-pj-vj~2994020) - Location: Old Westbury, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: This custom, single family home draws upon the classic style of the surrounding homes in this quiet, sprawling Long Island neighborhood. Along with the clapboard siding, care was taken on all exterior details to bring out the character of the home. Custom brackets were used to affix the wooden shutters to create a historic charm. The solid mahogany entry door is used as a contrast to the clean black and white lines of the home. The custom interiors of the home fully realize the design intent of… - [Sands Point Shingle Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sands-point-shingle-style-pj-vj~6381156) - Location: Sands Point, NY - Photos: 8 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/dhmurray-architecture-pfvwus-pf~815175247) ## Community Q&A **Q: floors** *(in Photo Questions)* what color is the floor??? A: That floor is a custom blend. Our client went to Gold Coast Flooring, saw a pre-fab floor and had the installer match it. It has grey, black and brown in it, all duraseal. Hopefully that helps. Good Luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-18.*
