Wadia Associates

Wadia Associates Residential Architecture of Distinction Over the years they have helped sculpt the local environment to become an important regional proponent of Classicism.

Since the establishment of Wadia Associates more than 30 years ago, Dinyar Wadia and his dedicated team of designers have earned a reputation for designing and building high-end homes, gardens and interiors. Their skillful design sensibilities have provided a seamless fit of their traditionally-styled homes into the eclectic fit of Fairfield County. Although avowed New Classicists, Wadia Associates have a pluralistic approach to traditional design that is not rooted in a slavish imitation of the past. More appropriately, it is based upon reinterpreting the past and updating it for the present. And while all of their designs feature the classic proportions and exquisite details of houses of a bygone age, the firm is still able to incorporate all amenities and needs of a modern American family. As Dinyar is fond of saying, "It's traditional architecture for the modern world."

This remains one of our favorite projects. Successive owners have retained our firm to continue work on this house, with projects ranging from a seamless addition to a guest cottage to a studio and exercise center in the carriage barn. It remains a great example of how to execute a sympathetic renovation; not changing the original design intent.

Fall is here. Spaces in your house that connect to the outdoors let you bridge the last of summer into early fall. Consider how you will use a pool house or a porch to enjoy these extraordinary days.

While modern steel-and-glass homes can look sharp and cold at night, the organic materials of a timber-frame home absorb and reflect evening light. The honey-colored timbers catch the golden glow of uplighting and indoor fixtures. This accentuates the wood's natural grain, tool marks, and hand-hewn textures, making the home feel profoundly cozy, grounded, and safe.

Nothing replaces the trained eye in the field. To ensure it comes out as drawn, someone needs to check the stone size, how it is laid, the joint size, and how the mortar is mixed and applied. Dinyar Wadia examines work in progress in the field on every job.

Have a happy Labor Day. For several years, I have posted about my journey to the United States from India, having arrived in NYC on Labor Day. So the upcoming holiday has special meaning for me. For 58 years, I've been fortunate enough to have great clients who support my firm and allow me to do great work, and outstanding employees and contractors who make our work possible. Thanks to all of you, and enjoy the long weekend.

Your pool house doesn't have to be a smaller version of your main house. It's good to have some shared familial DNA in the design, but the rest is about location, how it will be used, and how you frame the landscape. This pool house is perfect for a day at the pool and to watch the activity on the lake.

This house, originally built in 1937 was meticulously renovated by Wadia Associates and kept all of the original charm of the stone manor house on the outside, and features a thoroughly transitional interior.
