Creation Through Change: Designing Houses that Leave Enduring Legacies

One of the most sought-after traditional architecture firms practicing today, Ferguson & Shamamian Architects is known for designing and renovating homes that balance classical design with the needs of modern life. Renowned for projects that honor both modernity and history, they are—quite simply—masters of transformation. In their new book, Transformations, the firm opens the doors to 15 private residences, including some of the most iconic historic homes in the country, and shares their singular process of reinterpretation, restoration, and invention.

Join firm partner Scott Sottile as he shares some of the firm's latest projects—from to the storied Long Island estate Gray Gardens, to Lasata, where Jackie Kennedy spent much of her childhood, to a Palm Beach villa sensitively preserved and expanded. As they walk through the design process, they will share how each residence adheres to the firm's enduring philosophy: honoring the legacy of remarkable homes and communities while shaping timeless, livable spaces for today.
