In Contemporary Classical Architecture, written by Elizabeth Heilman Brooke Murray, architect John B. Murray, AIA reveals an extraordinary mastery of the classical vocabulary and a sensitivity to proportion and scale. Within that framework, he inserts the comforts of contemporary living in a way that is seamless and completely logical. Projects range from New York City apartments with breathtaking terraces and Central Park views to a shingle-style house on Long Island, a pristine neoclassical retreat in Dutchess County, a family barn in Kinderhook, New York.
