Ferguson & Shamamian Architects
Ferguson & Shamamian Architects was established in 1988 by Mark Ferguson and Oscar Shamamian and is led today by a dedicated team of Partners and Principals. Over the years, the firm has created an extensive body of work across the country and beyond. Every remodeled and new residence they design respects the cultural, historical and physical identity of the places in which it is built. Their portfolio of city apartments, suburban houses and country estates, expresses a deep appreciation for historical styles, regional character, and the personal taste of their clients. The diversity of location, character and scale of projects reflects their ability to use traditional forms in varying contexts to address unique site conditions while accommodating the comforts and convenience of their clients. Likewise, their strong commitment to artistic integrity and exceptional workmanship, alongside a holistic vision of design, has led to longstanding relationships with many of the country’s top decorators, landscape architects, artisans and builders.
