“The Hamptons Architect of Choice”, 1stDibs.com profile, July 2013

“His work is modern, and at the same time overflows with activity and color and texture; he designs houses of steel and glass and fills them up with chandeliers and furniture in multiple styles and patterns.  He is a modernist whose heart belongs to clutter.  But Haverland’s notion of clutter is as disciplined and rigorous and attentive to detail as Mies van der Rohe…Haverland looks at modernism as something not only to revere, but also have fun with.” Paul Goldberger, Hamptons Cottages and Gardens, August 2016.

“That kind of (large gridded window of glass and steel) window, which harks back to the early-20th-century factory aesthetic, is something of a Haverland trademark, one of his favorite ways to fulfill what he considers to be the essential obligation of ‘establishing a connection to the traditional, even in a modern house’.” Paul Goldberger, Hamptons Cottages and Gardens, August 2016.

“When I saw his house for the first time, I said ‘Bingo!’  He’s highly original, and he has a great grasp on the history of Architecture.” Barbara Jakobson, Museum of Modern Art Life Trustee.

“The nine month project (on Shelter Island) went fast and flawlessly”, says Lori Finkel and Andrew Cogan, praising Haverland’s hands-on managerial style.  Architectural Digest, June 2013.
