### All 3 reviews

**★★★★★ — Wellen Construction, Sept. 2016**

> Our firm had the distinct pleasure of building one of Eck MacNeely’s signature projects.  Not only was the architecture and design superior but they executed the plans and specifications meticulously.  It was easy to bring their thoughts and visions into reality due to their commitment to thinking all the details through and communicating them both verbally and in plan format.  The quality of our work was able to be at its highest level due to their commitment.  As a team member on the project we felt included, valued and respected in our relationship with Eck MacNeely. Their commitment to collaboration and teamwork permeated the entire project.  If you are looking for an Architectural Firm that is of the highest quality, professional and has a clear commitment to the entire TEAM you bring together you should look no further than Eck MacNeely they will not disappoint you.

**★★★★★ — Quantum Windows & Doors, March 2015**

> The extraordinary design-mind of Jeremiah Eck graced the shop at Quantum several years ago as we hand-crafted stunning windows and doors for his project in Salem, SC. It is a significant moment when an architect of Mr. Eck's caliber invites you in to collaborate on his creation, knowing that your products will be associated with the best in the industry.

**★★★★★ — jamaki, Oct. 2013**

> Eck  MacNeely are an absolutely extraordinary firm.  We hired the firm to design our dream house on Block Island.
> The entire process, communication, value and work product and ability to meet deadlines were flawless resulting in a home that exceeds our dreams.  Jeremiah Eck and his team are thoughtful - they listen, they guide and then take immense creativity and talent and bring your house to life.  We are using the firm again this year for our apartment in Boston.  I know we will have as much fun once again watching the design take shape.  If you are planning to build the house of your dreams - or just a small addition - hire Eck  MacNeely - and most importantly - have them watch over the entire construction process - they can manage the job and prevent costly problems before they occur.

Operable glass walls strengthen the indoor/outdoor concept as the Living Hall can fully open to the terrace, turning the space into a fully functional outdoor room with views to both the lake and mountain.

The house was designed in an open plan to allow visual connections between the separate rooms whenever possible.

- [Wellfleet, MA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellfleet-ma-pj-vj~2247)
  - Location: Wellfleet, MA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: This 3,300 SF house sits on a gently sloping site on Wellfleet Harbor. The front of the house presents a different face to the public than the back. Located down a long private drive, the small scale house appears to turn its back on the public; few windows adorn this facade. Instead, the house spreads out laterally towards the harbor, projecting itself out the back as a cantilevered platform, taking advantage of the views on the private side toward the harbor.

  - Description: This 2,500 SF penthouse apartment renovation in Boston’s Back Bay distinguishes itself as an open airy living space among the usually tight partitioned apartments typical of the area. The wide, unbroken cream colored walls, light wood floors and sparse furnishings provides a gallery-like environment to show off the owner's extensive art collection. Splashes of color in a few of the rooms add an interesting contrast to the clean simple space.
