Mucci-Trucksess Architecture & Interiors

Robin and Joseph are terrific designers and work very well with their clients because of their ability to listen for exactly what the client needs and then to design very precisely to the client's requirements. This makes their design work extremely cost effective. However, the greatest distinction for their work is their thoroughness and attention to detain in the construction documents. Their projects are a breeze to build . . . simply because Robin and Joseph have answered our questions in advance and put these answers in the drawings and specs. I have worked with Robin and Joseph on multiple residential projects over the last 25 years.

Joseph and Robin are wonderful listeners, excellent designers and outstanding managers. They transformed our small condo into an efficient and stylish home. Our remodel was completed on time and within budget. We've happily lived in our home for five years, and wouldn't change a thing.

My wife and I used Joseph's and Robin's services to design our new home in 2003. They were patient when we had questions and always provided clear answers as we progressed through the design phase and into construction. After we filled out lengthy questionnaires, Robin and Joseph worked with us to develop a flowing floor plan for our lifestyle and then surprised us with a model of the exterior design for us to review. We loved the look and the house fit the property perfectly. We used them to coordinate with the General Contractor during construction and they made the process go very smoothly. Once we moved in, it was like we have always lived there; the colors were great, the fixtures fit just right, and it felt like home from the first day we moved in. Ten years later, we called them up and took them out to dinner as a thank you because we still think that their services were the best money we spent on our house!

They hired us to build and install cabinets for one of their projects and it was a pleasure to work for them. They provided very detailed Architectural drawings for cabinet design and placement of all cabinets. Anytime I needed to get a hold of them they were available and quick to respond making the project flow smooth, so that completion dates were meet with satisfaction. With their interior design color combinations, cabinet design, it made the final product an excellent look. Great company to work for.

Over the years Mucci-Trucksess Architecture designed three distinctly different homes for us: in Old Saybrook, Connecticut; Seattle, Washington and Palm Desert, California. The first (1985) was a new house in Old Saybrook, on the waterfront of Long Island Sound. This is a small shoreline town with many old historical homes. Mucci-Trucksess designed our house in the traditional Shingle Style and it fit perfectly in this coastal neighborhood. We loved it! So, when we moved to Seattle in 2005 and bought two condos in a 1960's Queen Anne mid-rise, we hired them to combine the units into one large home and to completely remodel & refurbish the interior. (See their photos for Queen Anne Panorama) They opened up the interior to take advantage of the 270 degree view of the Seattle skyline. They suggested a more contemporary finish for the interior, compatible with the mid-century look of the building. They recommended environmentally conscientious materials such as cork flooring and bamboo cabinets. It's beautiful! The detailing of the cabinetry was so fine that we had them design several pieces of furniture as well. We couldn't be happier with their fine work and our beautiful home.

We have worked with Joseph and Robin on two remodels (two different houses) and we were thrilled with both! They work tightly and seamlessly together to come up with a complete solution that exceeds expectations. It is fun to see their creative ideas while also keeping our budget in mind. During our construction while they were our advocates, they also worked with the builders to come up with creative solutions to problems as they arose. While they are a small team, they offer a complete solution. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Joseph and Robin for any job, large or small. We would certainly use them again for any remodeling or new construction.

I have worked with Mucci/Trucksess Architecture and Interiors in the role of Structural Engineer on dozens of their projects over the past 25 years. Recently, I had the pleasure of working on the Magnolia Modern project, and the Redmond Shaker Style project. Other highlighted projects we have collaborated on include the Whidbey Island Getaway, Hilltop Craftsman and the Cottage Garage. Both Joseph and Robin have always been delightful to work with - professional, thoughtful, and creative but with a strong talent for practicality, which is refreshing as an engineer on the project! If I were to hire an Architect or Interior designer to remodel or design a new home, they would be my first choice out of the hundreds of Architects I have worked with over the years.

Mucci-Trucksess designed a complete remodel of our 50s vintage house on Mercer Island a few years ago, and it turned out fabulous. The work included adding about 500 square feet, many great new design features, and new electrical, plumbing and heating and ac systems. They assisted in supervision of the project and an 11 month project finished on time and slightly under budget - the only change orders, which totaled about $10,000, dealt with conditions not discoverable until construction began. I am also familiar with their work on at least 6 other homes, many of them recently completed, of varying styles and designs, all of which turned out fantastic, and most importantly, made their owners very happy. I am familiar with their latest projects as well, and they turned out well, consistent with all their projects. In short, I would not even consider any other firm for my next project.

We hired Mucci-Trucksess to completely gut and design our 1946 home in a tight timeframe (10 months to design, build, move in) . We would certainly work with them again. They were very thoughtful to ensure that our style came through, and we felt confident in their experience to transform our home to what we wanted within our budget while at the same time maintaining a high level of quality. The team was extremely professional, organized and very friendly to work with. We're thrilled with the outcome.

Interior design and architecture services to update/modify early 1990s vintage home. Robin's sense of color and style combined with Joseph's impressive attention to design and construction detail brought outstanding results in our project. We've used the several times on projects of all sizes over the past ten years. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Concerning Mucci-Trucksess Architecture & Interiors I worked with them on two recent high-end custom homes. Joseph and Robin's drawings are detailed and clear. I have never worked with a more easy-to-read set of drawings in the thirty-plus years I've been building custom homes. The two projects couldn't have been more different in architectural style - a point that attests to their wide range of design abilities. They handled the design exquisitely and thoroughly. Whenever we had a question about a certain feature, they would respond promptly with a sketch or description that was clear and easy to follow. They do their job at the highest level for an architecture & interior design firm and I would recommend them to any residential custom home or remodeling project.

Joseph and Robin are skilled and talented professionals and do a remarkable job on their projects. Each has a special insight in their work and it is obvious they collaborate in all that they do because the results are outstanding! I have photographed 2 of their designs and am very impressed with the level of detail and care they put into each job. The homes are very different in style because of their client's needs and the results were unique yet beautiful. The most recent home I captured for them is worthy of a design award. I look forward to seeing what other solutions they evolve in the future. I highly recommend them.
