—
In a significant renovation project, SHERMAN ARCHITECTS has transformed a carriage house in Brooklyn Heights, merging historical elements with modern design. This project reflects the firm's commitment to honoring architectural heritage while meeting contemporary demands.
Founded in 1995, SHERMAN ARCHITECTS is recognized as a leading residential architect firm in Brooklyn, NY. The firm has developed a strong reputation for its innovative approach to architecture, particularly through the careful integration of modern elements into historic structures. This project exemplifies their design philosophy, which emphasizes collaboration, meticulous planning, and a deep understanding of client needs.
The carriage house, previously split down the middle by a developer, posed a unique challenge for the firm. The clients acquired the left half of the structure with the intention of revitalizing its industrial character while incorporating sleek, modern features. In keeping with the building's history, SHERMAN ARCHITECTS installed new steel windows that reflect its industrial past, enhancing the aesthetic without compromising the essence of the original structure.
A striking addition to the interior is the steel and oak staircase that gracefully winds around a three-story pendant light. This feature serves as a central focal point, elevating the space's sophistication and drawing attention to the interplay of materials used throughout the design. At the top of the staircase, a large skylight floods the center of the house with natural light, further enhancing the inviting atmosphere.
Connecting with nature was a key consideration in the renovation. The design includes rear gardens and roof decks, providing greenery views from every level and fostering a sense of tranquility within the urban setting. To ensure privacy in the master bath, the architects in NYC created modern stained glass that acts as an artistic screen while allowing light to permeate the space.
Warm metal accents and light-colored woods soften the interior, creating a welcoming environment. A notable feature of the design is a wall of cerused oak that discreetly conceals essential storage areas, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. This integration reflects the firm's commitment to thoughtful space planning, ensuring every element serves a purpose while contributing to the overall design narrative.
"We strive to create living spaces that inspire and seamlessly function within their environments," said Jeff Sherman, the firm's founder. "This project showcases how we can respect a building's roots while addressing the needs of modern living."
