Mark Finlay Architects


Mark P. Finlay Architects, A.I.A, is a world renowned architecture firm with offices in New York City and Southport, Connecticut. The firm does beautiful work and has done projects as far away as Costa Rica. The craftsmanship and detail that goes into the homes is unbelievable! Nothing is overlooked and every room has beautiful architectural detail.



Though most of the homes are quite large, they aren't showy or pretentious. Each home's architectural features all relate to one style, and are used correctly. So often you see builders or architects mix many different styles and the home doesn't make sense. This is not the case with Mark Finlay.



Mark Finlay has been in Architectural Digest four times, as well as being featured in 45 other magazines such as House Beautiful, Southern Accents, and Better Homes and Gardens. One of his homes was also featured on MTV's "Teen Cribs" as Kylie's house.

This same home was also featured in the Disney movie "Old Dogs".

Finlay's homes are classic, elegant, and historically accurate, while having modern layouts that cater to today's lifestyle.





Finlay has done homes for many important people, from the President of Fed Ex Ground, to the entrepreneur behind Priceline.com, for which he designed this home with an amazing library:




Though the library is not my taste, the rest of the home is beautiful:
