Tanner White Architects – Architecture Portfolio
Our architecture portfolio is more than a collection of homes—it is a curated reflection of the design principles, architectural styles, and client partnerships that define Tanner White Architects. Each project in our portfolio represents a unique vision brought to life through meticulous planning, inspired creativity, and a deep understanding of both site and structure.
From classic New England estates to contemporary coastal retreats in Turks and Caicos, our body of work speaks to the versatility and depth of our expertise in residential architecture. We approach every home as an opportunity to craft something timeless, personal, and site-specific, guided by the architectural style that best suits the homeowner’s aesthetic and functional goals.
A Portfolio Rooted in Vision and Craftsmanship
Since our founding in 2012, Tanner White Architects has built a reputation for designing custom homes that blend innovation with elegance. Our architecture portfolio showcases a wide range of residential projects across Fairfield County, CT, and beyond—including Vermont, New York, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Texas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Each project is a product of close collaboration with our clients. We strive to capture their needs and aspirations through thoughtful design and refined architectural details. No two homes are alike, and that is precisely the point. Our architecture portfolio reflects our dedication to individualized design and our command of diverse architectural styles.
Architectural Styles We Specialize In
One of the defining strengths of Tanner White Architects is our fluency in multiple architectural styles. Our portfolio demonstrates our ability to adapt to regional contexts, client tastes, and specific site conditions. Whether a client envisions a rustic farmhouse, a beachfront modernist home, or a stately colonial, we bring the same rigor and creativity to every design.
1. Modern Coastal
Sleek lines, expansive windows, open floor plans, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces define our modern coastal homes. Many of these projects are featured in our Turks and Caicos portfolio, where ocean views, sea breezes, and natural materials play a central role in the design.
2. New England Traditional
From Shingle-style homes to Federal and Colonial-inspired designs, our New England homes capture the charm and elegance of regional vernacular architecture while incorporating modern functionality. These projects balance historic character with contemporary comforts.
3. Farmhouse & Country Estate
Inspired by rural living, our farmhouse designs feature gabled roofs, exposed beams, wide porches, and natural materials. These homes often serve as weekend getaways or primary residences for families seeking warmth, simplicity, and a strong connection to the land.
4. Transitional
Transitional homes bridge the gap between traditional and modern architectural styles. Our architecture portfolio includes many such projects that blend classical proportions with minimalist detailing, creating homes that feel both timeless and current.
5. Contemporary & Modern
Minimalist forms, flat or butterfly roofs, and bold geometry mark our modern designs. These homes often feature innovative materials, passive solar strategies, and energy-efficient layouts that highlight Tanner White Architects’ commitment to sustainability.
Signature Projects from Our Architecture Portfolio
Our work is best understood through the homes we have brought to life. Below are a few representative projects that illustrate the range and depth of our architectural styles:
Oceanview Retreat – Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
This modern coastal villa was designed as a luxury second home, with every room capturing panoramic views of the turquoise sea. The architecture blends natural stone, wood, and steel, with expansive glass walls that slide open to blur the boundary between interior and exterior. Sustainability features include cross-ventilation design, solar water heating, and native landscaping.
Modern Farmhouse – Wilton, CT
Set on a wooded lot, this home is a modern take on a classic New England farmhouse. Vertical shiplap siding, black steel windows, and a pitched metal roof give it a contemporary edge, while open interiors and a screened porch keep it grounded in comfort and function.
Shingle-Style Estate – Westport, CT
This award-winning home blends traditional architecture with luxurious contemporary features. A sweeping staircase, coffered ceilings, and handcrafted millwork reflect the timeless elegance of the shingle style. Meanwhile, the kitchen, spa-inspired bathrooms, and smart-home integration bring the home into the 21st century.
Mountain Getaway – Aspen, CO
Nestled in the Rockies, this vacation home was designed to harmonize with its dramatic surroundings. Stone cladding, timber framing, and expansive windows provide warmth, durability, and immersive mountain views. Passive design strategies minimize energy use, while large entertaining areas make it ideal for hosting family and friends.
Transitional Lake House – Upstate New York
This home strikes a balance between traditional and contemporary, using clean lines and a muted palette to let the natural setting take center stage. Interior features include cathedral ceilings, floating staircases, and custom built-ins—elements that provide both form and function.
