Sherman Architects, a distinguished Brooklyn-based architectural firm, has announced its latest project: a comprehensive renovation and restoration of a landmark brownstone in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn. The project seamlessly blends the brownstone's rich history and architectural character with contemporary living spaces tailored to meet the needs of modern homeowners.
The Fort Greene project is set to showcase Sherman Architects' expertise in marrying historical preservation with contemporary design. From the exterior, the brownstone will reflect its original grandeur, featuring a rebuilt stoop with new cast-iron balusters, meticulously restored stone ledges, and window ornamentation using original castings. The interior, however, will surprise visitors with its modern features.
"From the street, this brownstone will mirror the historical facade typical of Fort Greene, but inside, it offers modern living at its best," stated Jeff Sherman, founder of Sherman Architects. "Our design includes a double-height living room with a retractable glass wall, seamlessly connecting to a tranquil garden. This design enhances the indoor-outdoor living experience, combining aesthetic appeal with practical functionality."
The renovation work for Fort Greene Brownstone in NY will also introduce innovative elements such as a walkable skylight that transforms the basement into a light-filled, spa-like gym and a high catwalk that leads to a cozy children's reading nook with a picturesque view of the garden. The master bath will feature reclaimed heart pine flooring that elegantly conceals the tub and vanity, adding rustic charm to the modern amenities.
Sherman Architects offers a comprehensive suite of services under one roof, including full-service architectural design, interior decorating, and landscape design. The firm's approach is highly collaborative, involving clients, consultants, and contractors from the inception to the completion of every project. This collaborative spirit ensures that each project meets and exceeds all stakeholders' expectations.
"Sherman Architects doesn't adopt a signature style; instead, we focus on the unique opportunities presented by each project," Sherman explained. "Our work is a dialogue with history, carefully woven with the threads of modernity to create both functional and inspirational spaces."
In addition to the Fort Greene brownstone, Sherman Architects has been involved in numerous projects across residential and commercial sectors, consistently delivering spaces that harmonize beauty with utility. The firm is also known for its sustainable practices, incorporating green design strategies such as radiant heat floors, highly insulated envelopes, and reclaimed materials to reduce environmental impact.
