Design a Home That Truly Fits Your Life
You don’t need more space for space’s sake.
You need a home that works better now and for the years ahead.
Our work begins by listening: how you live, what matters most, and what your home could become. From there, we guide each renovation or new construction with clarity, restraint, and long-term thinking.
Whether you’re re-envisioning the home you already love or planning a new one from the ground up, thoughtful design can transform how you live every day.
At EMA, we create homes that feel better to live in: brighter, calmer, more efficient, and carefully tailored to the people inside them.

Reimagine the Home You’re Already In
Many of our clients begin by asking whether they should move. Often, the better answer is to stay—and redesign.
A well-considered renovation can:
- Improve natural light and flow
- Increase comfort and energy performance
- Adapt your home to how you live today
- Preserve the neighborhood, routines, and connections you value
Done thoughtfully, renovation isn’t about starting over.
It’s about refining what already works.













Build With Intention
For those starting fresh, we design homes that prioritize quality and performance.
Our new construction projects focus on:
- Smart site placement and efficient layouts
- High performance envelopes and durable materials
- Healthy indoor environments
- Long-term operating and maintenance efficiency
The result is a home that feels considered, comfortable, and enduring.
Let's Talk About What Your Home Could Become
Whether you’re considering a renovation or exploring a new build, the first step is a conversation.
Tell us about your home, your goals, and where you are in the process. We’ll help you think clearly about what’s possible.

Our firm had the distinct pleasure of building one of Eck MacNeely’s signature projects. Not only was the architecture and design superior but they executed the plans and specifications meticulously. It was easy to bring their thoughts and visions into reality due to their commitment to thinking all the details through and communicating them both verbally and in plan format. The quality of our work was able to be at its highest level due to their commitment. As a team member on the project we felt included, valued and respected in our relationship with Eck MacNeely. Their commitment to collaboration and teamwork permeated the entire project.

Testimonials
Eck MacNeely are an absolutely extraordinary firm. We hired the firm to design our dream house on Block Island. The entire process, communication, value and work product and ability to meet deadlines were flawless resulting in a home that exceeds our dreams. Jeremiah Eck and his team are thoughtful – they listen, they guide and then take immense creativity and talent and bring your house to life. We are using the firm again this year for our apartment in Boston. I know we will have as much fun once again watching the design take shape. If you are planning to build the house of your dreams – or just a small addition – hire Eck MacNeely – and most importantly – have them watch over the entire construction process – they can manage the job and prevent costly problems before they occur.
