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.

This primary bathroom was a chance to have a little fun. Pink, white, and mirrored serlianas frame the tub, toilet, and shower, making the room everything but mundane. I especially love the pink onyx because it has such extraordinary depth, almost like poured glass, and the cast bronze rosette in the floor is something you can actually feel under your bare feet. It makes for a pretty nice way to start the morning.

We took the traditional shapes of Spanish Revival architecture and made them cleaner and more modern throughout this pool house. In the bedroom, a gabled beadboard ceiling and chamfered edges play with light and shadow, while the row of vases reduces familiar classical forms to simple silhouettes.

We started with 10,000 square feet of open gallery space spread across three floors and gave it the organization of a London townhouse in an Art Deco style. Arched openings, paneled rooms, and a sweeping central stair establish a clear sequence from one space to the next, while still leaving plenty of room for art.

An apartment at the top of one of New York's iconic hotels shaped by bold gestures, unexpected details, and a sense of discovery from one room to the next. A home with a little magic.

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.
