Briggs
Sherwood, born in Wilson, North Carolina, attended North Carolina
State University and earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design in
Architecture in 1974. After serving his apprenticeship in Wilson,
he moved to Asheville to begin his architectural career. Over the
past thirty years, he has worked with three distinguished firms
as project architect, and has developed considerable expertise in
programming, planning, construction documentation, specifications,
construction administration, cost estimating, marketing, and overall
coordination of projects with clients, engineering staff, and building
contractors.
His years of wide-ranging experience inform
his architectural approach through the creation of thorough and
contextual designs that respond to each project’s potential, and
are innovative in relation to fundamental rules of sustainability.
Briggs has four sons, and lives in Asheville with his youngest son,
Franc, and his family partner, Jenny Moore. He is involved with
family and community, and founded the Asheville-Buncombe Youth Soccer
Association. In addition to architectural design, his other art
forms include urban farming and culinary talents, music, craft and
visual arts
