Credentials / Principals
Bruce Wentworth, AIA, President
Wentworth, Inc. was founded by Bruce Wentworth, AIA, a noted remodeling architect who has worked in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area for over twenty years. He has built hundreds of his own designs, ranging from modest bungalows to large-scale luxury residences.
Passionate about historic architecture, Wentworth has also handled numerous historic renovations. He recently put his survey of residential architectural styles in the DC metro area online so that interested viewers can research and identify their own home's period and style, or those of other houses that interest them.
Mr. Wentworth’s approach—sensitive remodeling with integrated aesthetics—has led to his work, and that of his creative team, to be featured in House Beautiful, American Bungalow, The New York Times, and on HGTV. His dedication to the fields of residential design and construction is expressed through his extensive writings and featured projects in Architecture DC, Washingtonian, Luxury Homes, and other publications. He continues to receive recognition from his industry with project awards from National Association of Remodeling Industry, Qualified Remodeler, Professional Remodeler, and Remodeling Magazine.
Wentworth is a graduate of the School of Architecture—University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a licensed home-improvement contractor in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia. Bruce Wentworth and his wife Eryl are active participants in Washington’s design and preservation communities. They live in an ever-changing 1920s home near the Washington National Cathedral.
