Weston, MA Architects and Building Designers

Naturally Modern Homes. Best of Houzz 2018 for both Design and Service, for five years running. We are a residential architect focusing on homes that relate beautifully to their surroundings, with sculpted lines and timeless materials. We bring Nature into each of our houses through expansive south-facing windows with axial views to draw the eye to the outside. Our modern houses are designed to minimize their environmental footprint, with innovative materials and techniques for energy and water conservation. The success of our projects depends on a strong relationship with our clients and teamwork with the builders. We are good listeners, understanding our clients' intentions so that we can translate their goals into a design tailored to them. Each project is sculpted to the client's way of living or working, inspiring a range of styles from the most sophisticated modern to beautifully crafted traditional designs, often with inventive cross-overs. Our hand-rendered drawings, models and computer simulations work together to ensure that our clients understand how a concept will work and accurately convey the project's look and feel when built.

At Foley Fiore Architecture, every project we take on, we strive to create an environment that will enrich the spirit. At the center of each project is the client. We value the process of getting to know people, understanding how they live, and how they work. Our success lies in tailoring a built environment that serves our client's needs, in an architecturally innovative manner.

MGA | Marcus Gleysteen Architects is a full service architectural firm specializing in residential design. Our goal is to create architecture that is personally and culturally useful, giving form and purpose to built space. We look beyond general stylistic preferences. Individual combinations of clients, programs, and locations generate unique opportunities that demand specific solutions. Our commitment is to our craft and design integrity. We believe that each new project inherently contains the potential for personal and professional development in all aspects of our work. While recognizing and upholding what we perceive to be self evident and timeless principles of our chosen discipline, we know that each project requires a fresh and critical eye in relation to the specific and unique characteristics of our clients’ goals. As such, each of our projects is a process of discovery that results in purposeful beauty. The firm is run as a studio. Every project is personally directed by Marcus, leading a team of talented and extremely capable architects and designers through the design, documentation and construction phases of each project. Each project and task is defined in a manner that simultaneously fulfills client objectives while improving and expanding the capabilities and skills of all who work on them. Whenever possible, team members are encouraged to pursue individual lines of inquiry and design within the discernible outline of a project. The result is a dynamic discourse between established insights and experience and new perspectives in the service of better design. Each completed project brings new insights and lines of inquiry. Through research, either within our own substantial library of books, journals, and magazines; on the web, through websites and blogs; or, more importantly, travel, including conferences and symposiums; we are constantly engaging the evolving world of design around us. We are committed to the thoughtful and efficient use of client resources, physical materials, and energy. Our design reflects culture and history in conjunction with the evolving requirements of contemporary life.

“It is, in the end, a sense of place that is the most valuable asset our homes have to offer us.” -Jeremiah Eck, Partner Since its inception, Eck MacNeely Architects has been guided by these words. Today, after close to forty years of designing custom homes throughout New England and the eastern US, we remain known for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and sensible sustainability. We believe that architecture is an art and a service and most importantly that listening to our clients’ unique needs, dreams and goals along with a clear understanding of and respect for their budget is the foundation for a successful project.

My objective is to blend contemporary and eclectic design sensibilities in order to express the unique quality of each design situation. Much of my work has centered on understanding older homes and designing seamless looking additions. This work has lead us to designing “new old” homes with the same charm and detail as their ancestors. I love to integrate the interior spaces with the outdoors as well as pay special attention to the direction of natural light. Of particular interest to me is Landscape Design and the integration of the interior design with planting, patios, decks and outside spaces that unify whole project. Residential design is special to me because of the close and collaborative nature of the relationship that needs to be fostered with my clients. I consider it a privileged to be asked to work on a home. It is an opportunity to establish the trust required to promote a great design that enhances and broadens the experience of one’s home. For me, no project is successful unless it has achieved a client’s design expectations as well as their financial planning. As a teenager, I worked on framing crews and later as a carpenter, so I have always maintained a strong connection to the construction process. This has enabled me to practice Architecture with an instinct for financial planning that has served both my clients and their builders as they formulate budgets and build projects. My commitment to adhering to budgets is as strong as my dedication to great design. It is for this reason that I believe our projects express equally my client’s financial and aesthetic goals.
