Antonio Luca Design

Jimi is a true professional. His eye for detail and style is excellent. He checks every detail, communicates clearly what he needs and follows through to ensure a smooth project.

I can not recommend Jimi highly enough, both as a designer and a person. He goes beyond what is expected professionally (always on time, follow thru, etc) and pays scrupulous attention to detail. While he is extremely knowledgeable about his business, he also knows when to seek an outside opinion and has no egotism. He was always kind, thoughtful and respectful when dealing with my family and other professionals involved in the project. He set realistic expectations and never pressured us in terms of time frame or financial decisions. I am thrilled with the outcome of the project and, thanks to Jimi, it was a streamlined and organized process. I think anyone who hires Jimi and his team is in excellent hands!

Antonio Luca Design has been wonderful to work with. We are currently in the planning stages of our second project with the company. Our first project with Jimi at Antonio Luca Design was a complete gutting of our kitchen and family room - the largest remodel our family has ever done. The planning process was smooth, thanks to Jimi's easy communication style, attention to our wish list, and ability to expertly balance the practical with the aesthetic. He helped maintain focus on the final result meeting our every need. Advice we received on backsplash tile and design, countertop material, cabinetry style, hardware, flooring, appliance selection, and fireplace treatment was solid across the board. We are about to begin demolition for our current remodel project with Antonio Luca Design (mud room) and are every bit as happy with the planning process, design advice, and materials selection this time around. Jimi has demonstrated patience in communications, professionalism in the face of every obstacle that has come up in our renovation projects, and a real joy in creating perfect spaces for homeowners.

I collaborated with Jimi on my mother’s home renovation in Darien in 2014, a personal project outside of my work as an architectural designer in Manhattan. We worked together to lay out the Kitchen, Bar, Family Room, and Master Bathroom millwork, after which Jimi managed the production and installation of the cabinetry. He was also a great help in sourcing and ordering a portion of the new tiles along with all of the new countertops. Jimi’s expertise and project management skills were invaluable to me as I was working out of state and sometimes unavailable to answer questions during the work day. Jimi attended many site meetings along with me and the contractor to review site conditions, measurements, and schedule, allowing us all to stay well informed and communicative throughout the entire process. Now that the house as been lived in for more than 6 months, I can affirm that the product is of high quality and exactly what we were looking for. All in all, we had a wonderful time, and I hope that we can work together again in the future!

Jimi is very thoughtful in his kitchen and bath design and it shows in the final project. The custom cabinetry is very high quality and a great value. He is so easy to work with and also a great collaborator. We've worked with Jimi on numerous projects.

I hired Jimi to design a kitchen and bathrooms in our new home. He was highly recommended by our builder. From the start he took the time to see what I liked rather than just suggest what he liked. He figured this out quickly. He narrowed down options for me, but always gave me choices. He listened to what my wants and needs were for the kitchen and he gave me a "dream kitchen". The bathrooms turned out equally wonderful. Our budget turned out to be rather unrealistic, but Jimi tried not to go over too much while making sure our choices fit the house. He coordinated all the installations and worked well with our builder. He went appliance shopping with me and helped enormously in my choices. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the kitchen design process. He was always easily reachable and responsive. I would hire him again in a hearbeat.

We hired Jimi to help renovate our kitchen in May 2013 and he was a pleasure to work with and always professional. He has a keen eye for design and had all the details covered. We're so happy with our kitchen and constantly get compliments from people on it. We highly recommend him and hope to work with him again!

Jimi consulted with us and then did the entire design and oversaw the gut renovation of our kitchen. Our home was originally built in 1950 and so involved many conditions that were discovered during the construction phase. Jimi is knowledgeable about his craft, has great design ideas and is also flexible and a pleasure to work with. Renovation projects, particularly kitchens, are difficult design projects and Jimi managed the project to a very successful outcome with a minimum of fuss and bother. Many renovations are "never again" experiences but not this one thanks to Jimi and after several years enjoying the kitchen we remain completely satisfied with the outcome.

Jimi did a fantastic job designing my kitchen. I have a mid-size kitchen and we completely changed the layout and knocked down a wall to open up the kitchen into the dining room area. He suggested a banquette for seating and it looks great and is very comfortable. Everything fits perfectly and I now have great cabinet space. My kitchen is so functional and looks so pretty. The tile backsplash and handles he suggested look wonderful and I love the quality of the cabinets. Jimi is very detail oriented and thought of everything. I could not be happier with the way my kitchen came out.

Mosolino Development has work with Antonio Luca Design from the first day they opened their business. The cabinetry design has been thoughtful and accommodating to our clients needs. Their services go far beyond kitchen cabinetry. Antonio Luca has designed bathrooms, kitchen/dining room renovations, family rooms, mudrooms, and included all the detailed fixture schedules for plumbing and lighting. Our clients have always been impressed with the quality of the cabinetry and the personal service. They also save money because Antonio Luca supplies truly high end products for less than other design firms.

Jimi is an experienced, talented designer. He was a pleasure to meet and be guided by. Our kitchen renovation works well for us with top quality, framed overlay cabinets, quartz counter tops, slate flooring and built in appliances.The laundry area was replaced with a combo of glass and wood cabinets/shelving with lighting which open up our long, narrow kitchen. Jimi's designs for our two bathrooms and powder room function well and the materials are eye catching. Jimi certainly helped us select quality items at prices that suited our budget.

I am a contractor and prefer to leave kitchens/counters/plumbing fixtures to my clients and Antonio Luca Design has become my go-to "kitchen guy". Their representatives (Jimi) is far and away the best kitchen designer I have ever worked with. Creative, flexible, on time with his quotes and deliveries, there to meet the truck to make sure items are correct, fantastic installation crew (really!) and just an all around great team player. Communication is the key to any projects success and he is always right there if you need him. We have worked together many times and its always a pleasure. I very highly recommend them- none better.
