2022 proved to be another busy and productive year for our team in Greenwich, CT. The continued momentum of the east coast housing market helped bring the number of projects we’ve worked on to over 300! Check out our 2022 video recap to learn more about the projects that kept us on the move.
We’re looking ahead to another jam-packed year of designing homes and with that in mind, here is a quick look at what we’ve been up to and what’s in store for VanderHorn Architects in 2023.
Contemporary Shingle project under construction
Despite supply chain headaches and other Covid related challenges, a number of projects that began at the beginning of the pandemic have wrapped up.
In the next few months we expect to complete our Contemporary Shingle home (above). This new waterfront home being built in Darien features 6′ deep eaves, Alaskan Yellow Cedar siding and roof, and a mix of steel and wood fenestration. Below, our Colonial Expansion in Greenwich brought an early H.L. Coggins house back to its former glory through a full renovation and expansion of the living spaces.

Another project close to completion is our Waterfront Colonial Cottage, a 4,900 square-foot Cape Cod style home that takes full advantage of expansive water views with a emphasis on outdoor entertainment. The front of the home is understated as to not overpower the main home, while the rear opens up to a large pool deck, flexible indoor/outdoor living spaces, and a rolling lawn that’s perfect for corn hole or frisbee golf.

Construction on several other projects has just begun and we expect to share updates as the year progresses. Our Coastal Gambrel Shingle in Waterford, CT, is among them. The existing home on the site was demolished towards the end of last year. Below are renderings of what the waterfront home will look like once completed.

Other projects that have recently broken ground include our Westchester Manor and Stone Georgian homes.

Our expansion into newer markets continues with our Watch Hill Shingle now underway in Rhode Island and North Shore Shingle taking shape on Long Island. Below, footings are being poured in Watch Hill. Soon this new Shingle will blend seamlessly into the already iconic shoreline.

While many people were discouraged by a cost prohibitive construction market in 2022, labor and material prices have started to stabilize and return to norms, making it the ideal time to plan upcoming projects.
