Residential Architect in Westchester County, NY

Homeowners in Westchester County want more than technical drawings — they want a design partner who can translate lifestyle, location, and vision into a cohesive home. Tanner White Architects designs elevated custom residences across Westchester from our studio in nearby Westport, CT, just across the state line. From historic estates in Scarsdale and Rye to modern builds in Bedford and Armonk, we tailor each home to both its owner and its setting.

Designing Across Westchester’s Landscape

Westchester is defined by its variety — tree-lined suburban streets, waterfront properties, and rolling hills all within one county. We approach each site fresh, evaluating topography, surroundings, and architectural context before design begins, so the finished home feels integrated into its environment rather than imposed on it. Whether your property calls for a traditional approach or a contemporary one, every decision stays intentional and aligned with your goals. Our Rye waterfront hybrid is one example of that site-specific thinking.

Custom Residential Design Built Around You

Every homeowner brings a distinct vision, and our job is to shape it into a home that works beautifully in everyday life — spaces that feel intuitive and comfortable, with attention to how rooms connect and how natural light moves through the house. Our Westchester services include:

New custom home design
Large-scale renovations and additions
Interior architecture and layout planning

A Clear, Collaborative Process

Your project should feel manageable, not uncertain. We start by understanding how you live and what you value, then guide you through each stage so you stay informed and involved:

Initial consultation and project definition
Concept development and spatial planning
Design refinement and detailing
Construction documentation and coordination

Blending Tradition and Modern Living

Westchester’s housing stock is rich with Colonial, Tudor, and Mediterranean influences, alongside growing demand for open, flexible modern living. We specialize in bridging the two — pairing timeless exteriors with contemporary interiors through open floor plans, generous glazing for natural light, seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and materials chosen to balance warmth and durability.

Sustainable Design for Long-Term Value

We build sustainability into the foundation of a design rather than treating it as an add-on: optimizing site orientation for light and efficiency, specifying high-performance materials and systems, designing for durability and lower maintenance, and creating healthier indoor environments. The result is a home that stays efficient, comfortable, and valuable for years.
