Testimonials

Morehouse MacDonald and Associates’ work has received wide praise and notes of distinction by the editors of many of the industry’s leading publications. However, no recognition means as much to us as the kindhearted words that descend from truly happy and appreciative clients. Here is a sampling of what some of our clients have shared with us:

Design as Wellness

“Our family literally ‘heals’ every time we stay in our Cape Ann home. It has surpassed every dream we had for this property. Again, thank you.”

Flow and Connections to Surroundings

“MMA finished a beautiful home for us that truly feels in harmony with the surroundings. MMA created a dynamic and tailored architectural statement that flows effortlessly, maximizing the views from every room and, in essence, brings the outside in.”

Mr. Jack Connors

Great Aesthetics with Unparalleled Customer Service

“Working with MMA has been a wonderful experience for us. They have created space for our family that is both fabulous to look at as well as functional. They listened to our needs yet also took our home in directions we never would have considered without them.

We have now used MMA for two major projects and would use them again. They combine a great sense of aesthetics with unparalleled customer service. I do not know how we would have survived our recent addition without them.”

Dr. and Mrs. Anthony Terrana

Comprehensive and Hands-On

“I recently had the pleasure of working with John MacDonald on a larger custom residence on Cape Cod. I found John and his staff to be extremely accommodating delivering a complete and comprehensive set of plans.

John’s experience and vision created an exceptional oceanside residence taking into account all aspects of the project from site development through architecture and interior design. Throughout the construction process John was “hands-on” working with the general contractor, designers, and landscape architects to assure design intent, quality and client interest.”

Mr. Chuck Capone, Charles J. Capone & Associates, Inc.

Period Style with Function

“We retained Morehouse MacDonald and Associates to design a period Adams-style house for our family and are very pleased with the results. The professionals at MMA worked diligently to create a home that functioned well for our growing family and was sympathetic to our desired architectural style. We look forward to many years in our new home.”

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Dixon

Clarity, Balance and Attention to Detail

“We discussed our project with several firms and settled on MMA because of their architectural vision, the quality of their projects, and a straightforward fee structure. MMA guided us through a major renovation and addition in Chestnut Hill.

John MacDonald has a wonderful sense for design and proportion. His team provided balance, attention to detail, and an uncanny ability to translate dreams to paper. Now those dreams have been realized, the reality is even better than the fantasy.”

Mr. and Mrs. Ethan and Lisa Lerner

Responsiveness plus a Wealth of Experience

Over the past few years, while working on the construction of my villa on St. Kitts, I was fortunate to run into a talented architect, John MacDonald. His incredible talent and professionalism, as well as his wealth of experience in design and the ability to think outside the box, allowed his team to create a comprehensive villa and make it a reality.

Throughout the whole period of design and construction, John and his team were constantly in touch, instantly responded to any requests and emerging issues found, and made quick and clear decisions. The project developed by John and Anthony met all my wishes and all requirements were taken into account. I am very grateful to John for his work, for his professional attitude, for his friendly and human assistance. As a result, I received not only a beautiful villa but also acquired a reliable friend and helper.

A precise high-end service

We were very lucky to find and hire John and his team to design our new home in Christophe Harbour. They are very professional and talented and provide a precise high-end service. Their work is done in a humble and patient way while being sensitive to our needs, wishes, and requests. We chose to include the interior design collaboration with Shelby Simes from Sterling Design, which John provided for us. The combination of their talent and passion makes the process of building a new home pleasant and enjoyable.

John also assisted us with finding the right builder and landscape designer, who worked together in harmony to create the house of our dreams. We have never had such a great experience with an architectural firm and we recommend John and his team with all our heart.
