The Firm

We’re a small firm doing big things in the world.

Soluri Architecture is a hand-on, award-winning practice that uses a proprietary design process to solve our client’s complex problems through simple, elegant, and extraordinary design solutions. Our clients are outside-the-box thinkers, often at the cutting-edge of their industry, who aren’t interested in blending-in, or cookie-cutter design.

We believe it is essential for design to add value and solve problems while creating meaningful, sustainable and engaging environments to work and live. We transform our clients’ innovative visions from their imagination into extraordinary and distinctive architecture through a unique design process that infuse our collaborations with creativity, depth and enjoyment while balancing the practical and functional with a deep understanding of what’s most important to our clients.Over the past 20 years, the firm has completed over 230 projects of all sizes and types – primarily in New York CIty as well as the NYC tristate metro region, Seattle area and London. Projects include master-planning, new buildings, renovations, expansions and concept designs throughout many different sectors and industries.

Design Process

Extraordinary architecture and interiors don’t “just happen” – they are created through an integrated and in-depth process in which the architect comes to truly understand the client, their vision, and their needs…and then integrates this information into an extraordinary design that transcends the initial specs.

Most architecture firms focus either on pure aesthetics, or the just the practical – but usually not both.

Soluri Architecture bridges the gap between aesthetics and functionality, creating architecture that’s as beautiful as it is purposeful. Rather than simply focusing on looks or meeting basic specs, we’ve developed a unique, client-centered process to ensure each project fully reflects the client’s vision and needs.

We start with an in-depth analysis to uncover the underlying flows, relationships, and activities within your project. By creating detailed diagrams that map these processes, we establish a customized “roadmap” that guides us through the design. This approach ensures that every decision supports the project’s goals, from big-picture concepts to the finest details.

Combining advanced 3D BIM software with diagrams, traditional sketching and hands-on experience, we design architecture and interiors that stay true to your unique requirements. Our approach allows us to think beyond conventional boundaries, adapting to the complexities of construction to deliver extraordinary, responsive designs that transform spaces in unexpected ways.
