Sherman Architects

Based in Brooklyn, Sherman Architects pairs expressive, tactile surfaces—from mottled dark masonry and bold ceramic tile to painted brick—with crisp modern geometries and delicate floating light fixtures across residential parlors, kitchens, and outdoor terraces. Serves as a strong reference when layering historic hearth trim against minimalist planes, integrating patterned screen partitions, or balancing fluid organic forms within structured stone patios.
