“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.”

“I worked at A4 Architecture for 5 years. During that time I worked closely with the firm's principal and staff. A4 Architecture always went above and beyond in their efforts to provide the possible best design while paying close attention to the client's preferences and needs.”

“I've worked with 8TFive studios on a few different architectural projects. I highly recommend their services. Neil (the owner) is professional and reliable.”

“I've worked on several large projects as a builder with Blackbird Arch. Their plans are always spot on, design consultation and advice is excellent, and their customer service from both a quality and timeframe standpoint are second to none.”

“Michael is a very capable and creative architect. I had the good fortune of acquiring his professional help and contracted with him to expand the first level of our “cape” house in Mattapoisett. We originally thought of modifying a previous family room addition to use as the basis of our new plans. Michael looked into that structure and determined that because of some floor issues and wall cracks that it was not structurally sound enough to use. I had full confidence in Michael’s recommendation; so, although it would cost more to destroy that structure and start over, we agreed. As the first phase started, my contractor ran into a very disturbing issue where the foundation of the initial addition was unstable. Michael was correct in his analysis. Michael is very thorough and meticulous. I highly recommend Michael Silva as your architect.”

“I have been living, with great pleasure, in the house that my mother and I created with Clearwater Architects for more than 5 years now. Their expertise and interest in green technologies, healthy homes and making sure the house functions well for it's owners and visitors resulted in a healthy, livable and cost effective home that we delight in.”

“We are extremely satisfied with the design and site placement. Will and Tristan LISTENED carefully and were able to design a home to fulfill our dreams and wishes. We worked well together and they put as much thought into it as if they were building it for themselves.”

“Met her on a personal level and she was the one who introduced me to this site. I don't have a decorative bone in my body and was able to decorate my whole loft because of her!”
