Wright & Robinson Architects

As John Ford made Westerns, we make Houses. NCARB certification expedites licensure in other states.

Our recent work includes houses in Glen Ridge, Ridgewood, and Montclair, South Orange, and Plainsboro NJ, Brooklyn, Hudson, Rye, and Fort Montgomery NY, and West Redding CT. The partners, Mark Wright and

Karin Robinson, have worked on a variety of building types and at a range of scales throughout the eastern United States and abroad.

Some news, friends— The 2025 Women’s Club of Glen Ridge Home and Garden Tour features a great deal of our recent work. Karin and I will be on site all afternoon, and we hope to see you on May 4th!
This year the tour is a fundraiser for the Centennial Celebration and Capital Campaign for repair of the 100-year-old clubhouse’s slate roof. We consider this very much a worthy cause, and hope you will purchase tickets via the QR code.

A selection of our custom handrails. Each is an answer to the challenge of creating a sophisticated classical railing that complies with various—and variously infuriating—contemporary building codes, up to and including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

2) Private Residence, Ridgewood NJ
3) Cape Fear Country Club, Wilmington NC
4) Private Residence, Glen Ridge NJ
Each is attuned to a particular building and situation. Each feels natural in the hand.

Windows of our design for an addition to and renovation of a Queen Anne house in Ridgewood, completed ten years ago. We set out to make a superb family house, and we believe we succeeded. Our clients intend never to sell. A lovely ten-year anniversary evening with our clients, craftspeople, and friends. Such a treat!

Two new towers over a new screened porch, plus light interior renovation. Going after that Miyazaki vibe!

Nice news! A few weeks back, the Glen Ridge Historical Society recognized our clients with the 2022 Preservation Award. The program recognizes owners for their vision and effort, and for using the House Files in the archive to raise a “renovation” project to something approaching the status of a Restoration. It is not about being pretty or expensive. It’s about being *accurate*
(Pictured: the restored porch. See our website for before/after photos.)

A recent photograph of the then-new transitional Craftsman/Gothic fireplace we designed for our Gothic House, completed in 2007 in the Glen Ridge Historic District.

The house was published as a case study by Mark Alan Hewitt and Gordon Bock in **The Vintage House: A Guide to Successful Renovations and Additions.** A copy is in your local library!

The house recently changed hands, and the curious can find a link to the listing in another recent post. Our exterior paint scheme has been changed, which saddens us.

Our railings at the historic Harry Fenn house of 1884, in Montclair NJ.
Come to us for thoughtful design, deft, carefully crafted, and apt.

We added the tower, and the cranky volume in back. The exterior colors are entirely ours, and we love them as they are.
Bonus: a new Roman Thermae window design for the existing eyebrow. (Interior decoration largely by others. We hope new owners will paint the trusses over the playroom as we intended, and repaint the exterior in our original rich colors—the trim is Benjamin Moore Dragon's Breath 1547.)

A little color consulting this year on Hawthorne, here in Berkeley-on-Toney’s-Brook NJ. A colorful gray, a colorful white, a black as black as the robe of Justice, on a cloudy day.

Occasionally, all a family really needs is a new bathroom. Ours are designed with a careful mix of custom and off-the-shelf items that achieve a classic appearance and an elevated degree of durability and functionality.

Small spaces suffice if one is willing to sweat the small things.

Bizarre iPhone algorithm artifacts:
• Pattern of my snappy bow tie spread across half of my boring shirt
• The ropey ridge on the side of my face
• Our esteemed collaborator Suzanne Frasier, FAIA’s name shrunk to utter illegibility.

Lovely visit on a lovely morning, with an honored old client. 4 cars (one on a lift) and machine shop. Always a muscle car being rebuilt in this, the Ultimate Man Cave in the historic district.
