Douglas C. Wright Architects Timeless architecture, thoughtfully reimagined. Based in New York City, designing homes rooted in history and made for modern life. Douglas C.

Wright Architects is a firm of architects, interior designers, and supporting staff based in New York. Over the last eight years, we have designed award-winning projects in a wide range of residential, institutional, and commercial work. We practice in a variety of styles - both historical and current - and strive to combine the very real, pragmatic needs of modernity with our historic architectural influences. We study and integrate all aspects of a designed environment into our projects. The landscapes, buildings, and interiors all influence each other, creating a richness the parts alone cannot achieve. We've worked throughout the United States including New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, California, Texas, Maryland, Maine, Tennessee, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, as well as Europe and the Caribbean.

The history and character of this 1830s Connecticut farmhouse were important to preserve as we completely reworked it for modern family life. The original white clapboard house remains familiar, while the black addition introduces something distinctly new. Together, the two tell the story of a home that has continued to evolve.

In this Upper East Side apartment, we opened up the plan to create longer sightlines. Clashing black and white rhythms come together unexpectedly in the bar vestibule, leading the eye through to the light-filled breakfast room.

A game room with a view. As part of the extensive renovation of this historic Massachusetts home, we restored its connection to the outdoors, opening rooms back up to the landscape and the Atlantic. Not a bad place for a game of pool.

A Palm Beach renovation with plenty of character, from the Mediterranean Revival exterior to warm wood-paneled rooms and a crisp, colorful kitchen.

With every home we design, we follow a process, but that process never leads to the same answer twice. I’ve always been interested in how a familiar architectural language can be interpreted in new ways, whether through proportion, detail, material, or place.

A thought from From Hand to Home, alongside a few examples from our work.

A closer look at the spaces we designed to support this NYC family of six. The clean architectural lines and crisp wood detailing provide a structured, elegant framework for the vibrant, playful interiors by Mancini Burns Design.

Edwin Lutyens has always been my favorite architect. He could move between tradition and invention with ease, but some of my favorite stories are about how he actually worked. Apparently, he would wait until everyone had gone home before making his rounds through the office, leaving notes and marks on drawings for his staff to discover the next morning.

Inside the arches, these vertical ribs of white oak around the openings soften the transition between inside and outside. The ribs evoke the soft fall of curtains at a window. When the large doors pocket fully into the walls, the pavilion becomes an open-air loggia.
