Robert M. Gurney, FAIA

The office of Robert M. Gurney, FAIA Architect designs meticulously detailed modern residential and commercial projects that are sensitive to site, program and budget. Materials are employed with honesty, integrity and ecological awareness. Interior spaces are active and intricate, tranquil and minimal. Regardless of project size or budget, the firm produces work that strives for design excellence.

Whether addressing a structure in a complex historical district or on a vacant site, the design process involves an understanding of site-specific issues, availability of materials and construction methods. Projects are sustainable, durable and timeless.

Design solutions arrive through the thoughtful manipulation of light, color, texture, form and geometry, with results that are simultaneously complex and distilled. Attention to detail and awareness of location, landscape and history lead to finished projects that respect historical, topographical and regional contexts without being revivalist.

Works by Robert M. Gurney, FAIA Architect have won more than 340 local, regional and national design awards and have been published in numerous local, national and international magazines, books and periodicals. They are the subject of two monographs, Modern Order: Houses by Robert Gurney and Robert M. Gurney Architect, part of the Master Architect Series from Images Publishing.
