Future House Award

Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design have honored Sherman Architects with their 2024 Future House Award.

Our renovation of this Manhattan brownstone was monumental.  From the 17 1/2’-long kitchen island to the 23’-tall breakfast room anchoring our new rear extension, the scale was jaw dropping.  Bridging over that towering room is a new oak and steel catwalk and a matching zig-zag stair.  A Nanawall system allows the entire rear wall to open to the deck, while oversized floor tiles extend from inside to out for a seamless transition to the deck.

“The Manhattan Brownstone renovation reflects Sherman Architects’ focus on thoughtful planning, understated design, and meaningful client collaboration.  The project is all about creating a harmonious, functional living space​ and paying attention to details like material selection and spatial flow.”
