DELSON OR SHERMAN ARCHITECTS

DELSON or SHERMAN ARCHITECTS PC is a Brooklyn-based firm founded by Perla Delson and Jeff Sherman in 1997. The firm's diverse portfolio combines clean, understated design with careful space planning and original detailing. We have a reputation for brilliant design, rigorous involvement during construction, and exhaustive bid drawings and specifications. We are good listeners. Beyond working diligently to fulfill the needs of our clients, we see the design and construction processes as inherently collaborative-with clients, with consultants, and with contractors. Our work benefits from our tactical deployment of budget, deliberate economies of gesture, and painstakingly detailed construction documents. In place of a signature style, the firm focuses on the unique opportunities of each project, whether addressing site-specific concerns with fresh ideas or incorporating proven solutions into new contexts. We value the sustainable restoration of old buildings, but we believe these can be gracefully bridged to the present with innovative additions. By coupling elegant modernism with traditional materials, our work has a sense of inevitability; our designs feel as though they were always meant for the site.
