Meet the Makers, Douglas VanderHorn feature from The Greenwich Design District

A man in a blue blazer and light blue shirt leans casually against a white doorway, smiling. With short dark hair and thin-framed glasses, he exudes the confident style of the Greenwich Design District. Sunlight casts geometric patterns on the wall, highlighting a drawing and window with blinds behind him.

The Greenwich Design District is a local community that aims to spread knowledge and inspire taste about home design around Greenwich, CT and the New York Metro area. If you’re looking for recommendations on your home renovations, an interior designer, or even an antique shopping guide, Greenwich Design District is your one-stop shop.

Douglas VanderHorn had the pleasure of being interviewed by Greenwich Design District, to talk about his role as one of the top architects in the country and how his career has grown over the years.

A detailed architectural model of a large house with complex rooflines, reminiscent of Douglas VanderHorns designs, is in focus in the foreground. In the blurred background, a person with long hair is seated, facing away from the model. The setting has the creative buzz of the Makers community at Greenwich Design District.

By many, you are considered to be one of the finest architects on the East Coast. Why do YOU think that is?

Thank you, that’s a tremendous compliment. It’s likely a combination of opportunity and creativity. I’ve had great luck in getting to work on so many beautiful properties. The key is to make the most of them by drawing inspiration from each location and client. I also work very hard to keep my work fresh and varied. Continuously learning and exploring new ideas makes for better and more relevant designs.
