At James McDonald Associate Architects (JMA), the goal is simple: to make realizing your dream home the most rewarding experience. With more than 20 years of experience and a diverse portfolio that spans a wide range of budgets, styles and market segments, the team has mastered the art of tailoring each project to the unique wishes and needs of the client while staying within budget.
From initial concept to project completion, the firm works hand-in-hand with clients, involving them in every step of the design process. “Bringing the client’s vision to life is at the heart of everything we do,” says JMA president James McDonald. This client-centric service is key to the firm’s longevity, with many returning clients and referrals.
JMA prides itself on its versatility and adaptability—as the residential market evolves, so does the firm’s approach to design. Over the last decade, changing client needs and styles have driven the firm to innovate with new custom solutions that embrace modern living and timeless design. Committed to creating homes that are as functional and comfortable as they are beautiful, JMA focuses on designing homes that both fit the homeowners’ lifestyles—each project is shaped in collaboration with the client—and the distinctive features of the land.
Today, JMA homes are notable for their emphasis on light and space, with high ceilings, large windows and thoughtful details that stand the test of time.
“The best compliment I can get is that we’ve designed a home that truly captured our client’s dreams and vision,” says McDonald.
