Douglas C. Wright Architects

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.

From the first loose sketch to more developed rendering, and finally the finished room, the idea for our Kips Bay Decorator Show House dining room was “Sir John Soane meets Art Deco.”

Soane inspired the ceiling with its bulls-eye mirrors in the corners, and concentric framed chimney breast and mantel. Doing these details in giant steps brought in the Art Deco. Traditional proportions meet contemporary art, materials, and color throughout the room, right down to the smaller details.

This 1872 SoHo loft began as a silk warehouse, with soaring ceilings, huge windows, and plenty of open space. We created an open living plan to better complement the way the family lives, while preserving the long views that make the loft so special.

The library and study in this East Hampton home were designed as a more intimate part of the house, with the architecture creating a clear transition between the private workspace and the rooms around it.

Entertaining drove the design of this room, from movie nights and Super Bowl parties to dinners with friends. The mirrored apse wraps around a structural column we paneled in mahogany, creating a curved banquette and a little party space of its own. The dramatic blue brings a whole new level of energy to architecture that already has that strong foundation.

Every great architectural project starts with an idea, and for me, that idea begins with the hand putting pencil, pen, or brush to paper. From Hand to Home follows that process from the earliest drawings and watercolors through to the finished houses.

The book became a record of how we work, but also of the people who have shaped my career along the way. I’m grateful to Bunny Williams, Brian J. McCarthy, and Judith Nasatir for being part of it.

Looking forward to joining Texas Design Week Dallas on Monday, November 9th, for a conversation on the importance of decorative arts and craftsmanship in interior design.

I’ll be joining Christopher Farr, Sara Story, Russell Pinch, and Beth Dotolo and Carolina V. Gentry of Pulp Studios, with Sarah Spiteri of Homes & Gardens moderating. It should be a fun discussion with a wonderful group of designers, followed by book signings.

If you’re in Dallas, I hope you’ll join us at Made Goods from 11 AM to 1 PM. Tickets and more information at texasdesignweek.com.

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.
