Solk Architecture is a full-service architecture and interior design firm led by Leah Solk. Based in Brooklyn, Leah brings artistic and analytical rigor to a range of residential, commercial and educational spaces across New York City, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut. The practice specializes in new construction, renovations, and interior fit-outs, and is proudly a Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise in New York State.

While firmly grounded in a modern aesthetic, Leah’s designs strategically employ color and texture to create a sense of warmth and character. Calm, clean, and customized for every client, her one-of-a-kind spaces seek to inspire joy in daily life.  Hand drawing and a direct connection to the physicality of buildings is core to her practice, integrating traditional architectural methods of design with the technology of modern sustainability.

Leah believes architecture is a form of tactile art, so beauty and function must seamlessly coexist—down to the last detail.  Her process is intimate and holistic, guided by her innate ability to see the previously untapped possibilities of a space. She works closely with her clients to understand their needs and style. From the development of an idea through to execution, she is deeply involved in every step of the design process, both artistically and logistically, always rooted in an ethos of kindness, respect, and transparency.

Leah received her Master of Architecture degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a dual BA in Economics and Studio Art from Wellesley College. She is a licensed architect in the State of New York and has been practicing for over sixteen years, including at New York firms Architecture Research Office (ARO), WXYSTUDIO, and The Brooklyn Studio.  Prior to entering the field of architecture and design, Leah worked at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.  Her background in math and financial analysis informs her approach to running projects with a mindfulness of budget and schedule. 

Leah established Solk Architecture in 2019 to bring her unique approach to client relationships and contemporary design.
