HuntonBrady

HuntonBrady is a modern architecture and interior design firm based in Orlando, Florida. It was founded by Robert B. Murphy in 1947 and has received more than 50 American Institute of Design Awards. The practice's specialties include healthcare, education and commercial office design.

Robert Murphy grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, and earned his first architectural degree from Clemson in 1936. He entered Harvard's Graduate School of Design a year after Walter Gropius became Dean of the school and graduated with a master's degree in 1940. He served in the Army Air Corps during World War II. After the war he settled in Orlando and established his namesake architectural firm: Robert B. Murphy, Architect in January 1947. He added partners Tom Hunton, Claude Shivers, and Clyde Brady in the 1960s making firm Murphy Hunton Shivers & Brady by the time he retired in 1979. Continuing on as Hunton Shivers & Brady, the firm briefly merged with a Tampa firm in the mid-1980s to become DesignArts, but soon reversed the merger and reorganized as Hunton Brady Pryor Maso with the addition of principal architects Fred Pryor and Maurizio Maso. The firm eventually made its name HuntonBrady to maintain continuity as principals died or retired. Chuck Cole served as President after Pryor's death in 2005 and Steve Belflower became President upon Cole's retirement in 2017.
