McLelland Architecture

Jon McLelland has vision with the skill to communicate it, excellent resources to provide alternatives, and takes pride in the quality of his work. Our project began as an extensive remodel that became a 'from scratch' home. His beautiful design made the transition easily. Jon provides ideas and choices that include modern materials e.g. sola tubes for difficult to light rooms, design-appropriate elements e.g. exterior surfacing with stone/shingles/siding, and knowledge of efficiencies e.g. HVAC/attic/crawl space total house thermal control. Jon works very well in a team: our project required a contractor as well as interior and landscape designers. Additionally, in our frequent absences during the construction, Jon and his office helped coordinate the team. He enjoys collaborating on your vision and his to find the perfect solutions. We would recommend Jon McLelland.

McLellan Architecture not only provided not only excellent artistic advice, they also knew intimately the local government regulations and personalities. They help guide us through a historic commission review and we ended up with a great project. The firm listened to us and tried their best to fit what we wanted into what was possible and what would provide maximum resale value. Well done! The project is still in progress, so we will see if the contractors can match the inspiration of the architects.

McLelland Architecture has completed two projects for us, a kitchen renovation and a garage. Our house is an older one, and both projects have fit perfectly with its character. The kitchen was well planned for our specific ways of working in the kitchen and continues to receive compliments. The garage/storage facility is not only functional but added so much to the appearance of the property. Jon is wonderful to work with and did a great job of incorporating our ideas and preferences into his plans while leading us in the right direction. These projects have added a great deal of enjoyment and value to our home.

An addition plus a brick walled garden and patio were smart, functional and included quality materials and details that blended perfectly and enhanced our 1925 home. We couldn’t be more pleased.

McLelland architecture deveoled a design for an addition that I was adding to an 1850’s plantation home. His design was not only functional but also very much in keeping with the architecture of the original house.

After having seen several projects, residential and commercial, McLelland Architecture had completed, we decided to go with the expertise of Jon McLelland. What attracted me most were innovative ideas, an interest in sustainability and LEED, and the proven talent to combine older historical buildings with a touch of modern. We received expert drawings, as well as great recommendations for our residential kitchen remodel, a major undertaking in an older home that required the removal of load bearing walls and complete reconfiguration of the space. McLelland Architecture provided fantastic services, and we would hire them again in a heart beat - highly recommended!
