If there were 10 stars to give, I would give Don all 10 of them. He helped me with the plans for the renovation of Beach Bakery Grand Cafe in Westhampton Beach NY. The village boards were not the easiest to deal with and Don solved each and every issue. Without him, I would never have had the plans approved. I will always be thankful to him for all he did.... Way more than could have been expected of any architect. He was very fair with the billing, easy to deal with and above all, he always picked up the phone and answered his emails immediately. Also very important was the fact that that the contractor told me that the drawings were easy to work with. Don is a Great Architect and even a better person him self.

Creative, efficient, a pleasure to work with. On site planning for community shopping center. And 25 acres for waterfront hotel and office development. Interiors for hotel repositioning. And some beautiful “Hamptons” housing.

Donald Jewell helped us build our forever home. He designed and tweaked our home 17 years ago, and we continue to receive compliments on it. Our home has been scouted by movie production companies and was chosen to be in two prominent movies. Donald is professional, courteous, and easy to work with. He listened to our wants and needs for the house and made it happen. With his eye for beauty and detail, he was able to turn our dream into a reality. It was a pleasure working with Donald.

I have been working with this architecture firm in San Diego for an ADU (granny flat) project. He’s serious, reliable, and very professional. He is also helping me with some city issues and I look forward to sharing some photos of our modern design, after the construction.

Donald designed our stunning Hamptons home, where we live year round. Not only did he work remotely, but his creativity, professionalism and unparalleled responsiveness made the whole process a dream project. Nine years later, the house looks and feels brand new.
