Berman Design

Berman Design, trading as Joel Berman Architecture & Design, is an architecture practice in Chicago that works on projects across North America. It specialises in adaptive reuse and heritage restoration, covering architecture, interiors and graphic design under one roof.

What Berman Design offers

• Architecture — floor plans, elevations and interactive 3D models for new and existing buildings.
• Franchise prototypes — designing a repeatable building prototype for franchise businesses.
• Interior design — interiors drawing on its adaptive reuse experience.
• Graphic design — branding and graphics for client businesses.
• Existing-conditions scanning — detailed scans of a site before modelling, which clients say eased permitting and bidding.
