Early life and education

Bierman was born on May 9, 1953 and raised in Fresh Meadows, Queens with his parents and sisters. He was trained in Architecture as well as the Fine Arts at the Rhode Island School of Design and moved to Manhattan after graduating. Bierman’s first assignment came soon after his debut project - his own apartment- was published in New York. His first commission was the design of a villa in Acapulco.

Career

Bierman established Bruce Bierman Design in 1984, and specializes in residential and commercial design. His work epitomizes an East Coast style with a sophisticated but understated aesthetic, which has become the hallmark of his work. His approach is frequently likened to couture workmanship, using the finest materials, clean lines, and attention to detailing.

Bierman’s worldwide portfolio of projects include a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m) residence in Greenwich, Connecticut, a townhouse and artist studio on New York City’s Upper East Side, a Penthouse at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, a 3,500-square-foot (330 m) Penthouse loft in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, and a coastal vacation compound in Seal Harbor.

In 2000, Bruce was inducted into the Interior Design ‘Hall of Fame’. His work has received extensive acclaim from his peers as well as from the design press.
