About Leonid Furmansky
My name is Leonid Furmansky, I’m an architectural photographer that’s driven to document structures that represent the way we live. My vision for Architecture emphasizes the beauty of the structure and what best represents the architects work.
My mission is to help architects promote their work across the world and capture the vantage point that best represents the structure of the building. Architecture ages but my photography doesn’t’. It will keep your building alive as long as it’s documented. Please feel free to contact me anytime you feel that you’re ready to share your vision.

The Jewell Box House, designed by Mell Lawrence Architects, is more than just a building; it’s an escape, a fulfillment of the client’s dream to own a “cabin in the woods” – a secluded place to unwind, surrounded by nature. From the street, the house appears as a compact, solid form, hidden from prying eyes.
Unlike the typical layout on a residential lot, the Moon Gate ADU is situated at the front of the property. The primary 1961 ranch-style home sits at the back, perched near a ravine overlooking Hahamongna Watershed Park. Wang designed two contrasting forms—the ADU and an adjacent storage unit—that intentionally differ from the main house.
The Friar Tuck Residence, designed by Black Rabbit, reimagines a mid-century home with a focus on sustainability and natural living. The home maintains the original single-story form while incorporating modern features to enhance its eco-friendliness.
Step into the world of the Backyard Home in Austin, Texas. Designed by Annie-Laurie Grabiel and Arthur Furman, this two-story contemporary space provides a comfortable living area during extensive renovations of the main house.
The design of Jonestown Tree House draws inspiration from the timber constructions of architect Peter Zumthor, particularly his work on the Stielneset Memorial and the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum. This influence is most evident in the striking exterior staircase, which serves as a central plinth anchoring the house.
Hood House is a renovation and addition project in West Lake Hills. It blends a discreet renovation of the existing mid-century home with a two-story addition, including a primary suite and a second living space.
Mark Odom Studio designed a creative work space located within Austin’s bustling mixed-use shopping plaza, Domain NORTHSIDE. The office space is occupied by INK Games™
Pedernales, a building that could not exist on any other site. A house tailored to its location in every single way. Envisioned as a curated living, staycation of a space, Pedernales has culminated into a living and functional work of art.
