Ferguson & Shamamian Architects, LLP is widely recognized for residential design in traditional styles, particularly those with classical origins. Since its founding in 1988, the firm’s core practice has been the design of custom residences, including city apartments, suburban houses and country estates. Now a ninety person firm, Ferguson & Shamamian has built an extensive body of work with projects across the country.
The partners, Mark Ferguson and Oscar Shamamian, built their firm on a shared enthusiasm for traditional architecture and a desire to achieve a creative synthesis of historical style, regional character, and personal taste with every project. They interpret individual project needs with a strong commitment to artistic integrity, a passion for detail, the use of fine materials, and exceptional workmanship. Their holistic vision of design has led to exceptional collaborations with a number of the country’s top decorators, landscape architects, artisans and builders, for which the firm is highly regarded in the industry.
The diversity of location, character and scale of projects in the firm’s portfolio reflects its wide geographical reach and effectiveness in varying contexts. This is made possible by the partners’ informed and creative use of traditional forms to address unique site conditions and accommodate contemporary needs.
