Hello! Welcome to Sheri Fabian Studios.
My name is Sheri. I am a registered architect in New York State, practicing architecture in the western Catskills, the Hudson Valley, and New York City.
When it comes to experience in the building industry, I have done it all. I have laid tile, dug holes, overseen construction jobs, designed homes and high-rises, studied abstract architectural theory — everything from stick-build, pro-bono community work to multi-million dollar pitches for Las Vegas developers.
Recently, however, my practice has found its way back to solid ground (pun sort of intended). I have rediscovered my fascination with architecture of the home — with scale, material, structure, and the simple principles of design and dwell. I believe all people deserve space where they feel oriented and at peace. As a practitioner, I am committed to honor each individual person, group, and context with which I work. As a designer, I seek an architecture of contemporary humility, comfort, and meaning.
I believe that design can be and should be for everyone.
Please give me a call and we can chat about how I may help you achieve your goals, or send me an email through my contact page form. Also check out my sketchbook page for news and current goings-on, as well as my Pinterest board to see what my clients and I are currently raving about. https://www.pinterest.com/sherifabian/
