Building Design Services in Preston City, CT

“Gail is a very talented architect, a pleasure to work with, and has unusual creativity. We began design of a new home with Gail Hallock, Inc. in April, 2011 after working with a number of other architects for about a year on preliminary designs. It was important to us that the architect understood the project holistically. Most seemed to concentrate on the exterior and not the livability & flow of the interior - requirements important to us. Gail deftly sketched throughout our conversations making sure we were on the same page. She was adept at picking up our 'style'. She does not produce cookie-cutter homes. During construction Gail handled problems adroitly and turned many into an opportunity to take something and make it even better. The creativity that Gail demonstrated with our home amazes me even today, a year after taking up residence. There's not a day that goes by that I don't look at some detail Gail created and think how beautiful it is and how lucky I am to live here. Gail is also one of the kindest people I have come across, plays well with others and was a strong and demonstrative advocate making sure that our home was built exactly as specified and with the correct materials throughout the project. We feel very fortunate to have found her. She does wear some fairly silly hats.”

“Great design and professional follow up that culminated in a beautiful outdoor living area. Design included a pergola, stone patio, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and re-landscaped pool area”

“Wayne was very attentive to the process of us taking ideas from ready made plans and pictures of dream homes while creating a shingle style design that met our needs and expectations! Throughout the more than year long process his expertise in construction and design was evident. He was readily available to work with the construction crew to discuss and work through issues that arise while building a custom home. His knowledge of coastal restrictions, town ordinances as well as his patient demeanor and overall creativity came into play many times during the project and are a direct reason why we enjoy our custom built home today. We truly enjoyed working with Wayne and would recommend him to family and friends!”

“John R. Schroeder, AIA, you have given us our dream home and by that I mean a home more beautiful than we could have imagined and yet completely suitable to our hectic everyday lives as a family with four young children. You listened to our random ideas and put them together into a design that is better than the sum of its parts and what's more, it was completed on schedule (I didn't think this ever happened!).”

“Whitney has now worked with my wife and I on three homes. The homes increased in size, complexity. and sophistication. He has also worked with us on follow up additions and remodeling. Clearly, we have been pleased with the our association and have enjoyed the experience of developing our homes with Whitney. I would note that throughout our time together he brought great ides and fresh approaches yet always, always took into consideration our input and desires - so in effect we have had a comfortable joint collaboration. He has been easy to work with, on time, on site, and his oversight has been well focused. We are thinking again of a new, now smaller home and Whitney will be our resource once again. We would certainly recommend him to anyone wanting a creative work of art.”

“Complete remodel of mid-century home interior. Chris Arelt is a grad of Yale School of Architecture, and his knowledge and creativity show in the results of this project. Ask him for photos of our award-winning kitchen. The details and custom cabinetry are superb - he listened to our needs and wants, and got it right!”

“Laura creates beautiful homes. She is very knowledgeable with 20 years of experience and her goal is to create the perfect home that fits the client. She is efficient, works to make the home fit into the landscape surrounding it, creates functional space and is flexible. Her drawings are creative and bring her vision to life. She worked well with us and our builder Wayne Mossey. With Laura's vision and Wayne's extraordinary ability as a builder, they were able to create a very unique, cost efficient, beautiful home. Our builder said he never saw so many people stop to take a picture of a house being built. Would highly recommend Laura to anyone who is remodeling, renovating or starting new construction.”

“Sara is amazing at what she does. She is very detail oriented and provides great customer service. She was able to design my project exactly the way I wanted and was able to turn around deliverables within a short period of time.”

“Edie developed and executed a redesign of my 44 room hotel in Cambridge. With my concept and her creative and practical skills, every detail of guest rooms was considered. Her sense of color, knowledge of materials, resourceful acquisition of various critical elements all contributed to a very satisfying result. She listens well, has great ideas and a frugal outlook. We still maintain her overall look and style seven years later. Very pleased to have worked with her”

“Michael is the best architect to integrate nature in his design. He is a very creative and professional architect. Cecilia Patricia”
