As 2026 begins to unfold, VanderHorn Architects continues to move forward with confidence and momentum. While the broader landscape has required adaptability, we have been encouraged by the steady progress of our work and the exciting opportunities ahead as we start the new year.

Several long-anticipated projects are nearing completion and we look forward to showing off the finished results. Leading the way this year is our Hamptons Cottages trio, which will be completed shortly and available for purchase. This is an exciting opportunity for those seeking a thoughtfully designed, ready-made VanderHorn home.

Meanwhile, many projects continue to advance beautifully through construction. Our Lighthouse Point Shingle and Harbor View Shingle designs have both been progressing exceptionally well.

At our Lakefront Queen Anne home, some of the home’s defining elements are taking shape, including a carriage house cupola and unique dormer, along with the main house’s tower and scroll top pediment. Tune in to the video below to learn more about these features:
And of course, each year brings fresh opportunities, and this one is no exception. This year we are pleased to be launching new projects along the East Coast, from New England to Florida. A few we are particularly excited about include our Shoreline Gambrel, a residence along the Connecticut shoreline, and our Harborside Gambrel in Rhode Island, both of which exemplify our enduring commitment to classic shingle-style waterfront architecture.

Our Mid-Country Georgian is another one of our highly-anticipated new projects breaking ground soon. Additionally, we are beginning several historic home renovations, as well as a full transformation of a previously compromised waterfront property in Palm Beach, our Florida Coast Mediterranean home. We look forward to sharing updates and behind-the-scenes looks at these exciting builds in the months ahead.
