### All 10 reviews

**★★★★★ — Cornerstone Construction Co, Aug. 2018**

> It was awesome working with Jonathan!  His attention to detail and flexibility in achieving the desired result was immpecable. He is a top tier designer and architect.

**★★★★★ — Ken Clasby, April 2018**

> I have been doing work for Johnithen for the last ten years. what is most important to me, and my business is the jobs always start on time and finish on schedule. Jobs are high end, with only top quality finishes.
> One of a kind looks, that you don’t see from other designers or architects.

**★★★★★ — Michael Schmiede, March 2018**

> I write this sitting on a couch designed almost twenty years ago.  The custom manufacturer, Charles Webb, from Cambridge, MA is long closed, yet the furniture looks as new as the first week it was delivered.  Now two moves later, I am still grateful to Jonathan’s expert knowledge of furniture styles and fabrics that he recommended Knoll with a durability of 100,000 double-rubs. Call it design foresight, he knew enough to talk me into a style that looks great now in its third setting as it did new, whether Victorian, contemporary, or now mid-century modern. Thanks Jonathan! Equally beloved is the Thayer Cogan chair, for which Jonathan oversaw the restoration of the chrome frame, sourced the fabrics and reupholstering work to update a classic.

**★★★★★ — Beverly Dubrin, March 2018**

> I admire Jonathan's creativity, attention to detail, and dedication to his work.  I've seen both his retail and residential projects and have talked with his clients who are always satisfied with his work and commitment to each and every project.

**★★★★★ — Hamad Alalyan, March 2018**

> Jonathan was easy to work with. He is very creative. I would hire him again. He listens to our need, and amazes us with the result.

**★★★★★ — Brian Richards, March 2018**

> Jonathan has been an absolute joy to work with.  He has an excellent eye for quality, detail and delivering the client's wishes.
> I've worked with hundreds of designers, architects, decorators and trades people for the last 35 plus years.  I wish they all could be as awesome to work with as Jonathan is.

**★★★★★ — Peter \`Olsberg, March 2018**

> Jonathan met with my wife and I prior to our purchasing the condo where I now live. We were moving to Newton MA from the UK and only had a limited time before leaving.
>
> We needed to completely strip out the interior finishes back to the original structure and start agian.  Jonathan was able to interpret our requirement and tastes and dealt with the contractors and permitting authority in a highly professional manner. He was responsible for all the new construction work  as well as the new mechanical and electrical installations. He advised on final finishes as well as designing much of the furniture and soft furnishings which he had made.
> The contractor that he recommended was first class and he finished on budget and on the allocated time of 6 months. During this period we only returned to Newton once in order to finalize finishes. The outcome was absolutely to our liking and I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan for other projects.
> Otherwise we held regular Skype meetings.
> I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan for any project of this nature.

**★★★★★ — Daniel Solomon, March 2018**

> Jonathan is very smart, creative and has great design sense.  He has gotten to know our tastes and how we like to work.  He has helped us with several separate projects that have all gone very well and we would use him again.

**★★★★★ — Sterling Giles, March 2018**

> Jonathan was totally professional, listened to what we needed, helped us to refine that, and found creative and beautiful ways to achieve redefinition of space while creating a wheelchair accessible environment.  In addition to his space-use guidance and design, he led us to a first rate contractor; everything went as expected and we were happy with the results.

**★★★★★ — LSR, March 2018**

> Jonathan has the insightful ability to visualize a project in total and communicate his visionary concept to the client in a direct and sensitive manner. When a design professional takes the time to listen, really listen to the client, to gain as much information to make the project as personal as possible, you are working with someone who genuinely cares. Jonathan Cutler is a pro to the core with immense talent. He embodies his projects and works closely with his clients so each detail is refined to ultimate satisfaction. I highly recommend Jonathan for any interior design project or architectural transformation you have in mind. His designs are a win-win and a pleasure to work with!
