Maienza - Wilson Architecture + Interiors

AMAZING work !! I hired John and Greg from Maienza-Wilson Interior, to select the interior components of my recently renovated executive home. This was my 1st time, hiring a professional interior design firm, and I was NOT disappointed at all. I think it was the best move I ever made. The team worked with me on establishing a budget, and the scope of work, included creating a seamless interior/exterior flow, in a "organic" easy flow lifestyle environment. I have 2 young children, so emphasis was placed on furniture and accessories, that are child "friendly". John's connections, within the artist community are amazing ! The wall pieces he selcted were custom made and totally highlight the tall ceiling and make the room come alive. Best of all through his contacts, he exceptionally designed a custom made chandelier from blown glass, that brings the room and the decor together for one amazing look ! I would recommend Maienza and Wilson without ANT hesitation for anyone looking for amazing quality work in hawaii.

John Maienza and Gregg Wilson have helped me in so many locations and circumstances-- from a house in Brentwood, LA to a hi-rise apartment in NYC-- but they consistently come through with the most stunning, liveable results. They immediately key in on an individual and their personality and needs-- and then they think of things you never would, and make it all better than you'd ever think possible. Many of Maienza-Wilson's clients involve spectacular scenarios, but I, for one, seem to always be on a limited budget, and they know how to respect that as well. I also always seem to have some sort of design or installation emergency that calls for an instant decision-- and somehow John and Gregg are available, either on the scene, or on the other end of the phone, wherever in the world they may be. All this is verified by the fact that most of their clients become friends, as well as clients, for life.

The Maienza-Wilson team is the best! Working with me for almost two decades, John and Gregg have helped with six major and myriad smaller projects from coast to coast. Whether it was major construction, minor remodeling, or interior design, all projects were carried out with skill, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and finesse. They give equal attention to function and style, and they are as happy to take on my smaller budget needs as my larger ones. Somehow they are able to read my mind and make my homes look just the way I image they should. The results are always comfortable and beautiful. A nice thing about working with John and Gregg is they are not done when the project is finished. Although I have never lived in the same city where John and Gregg live, they are always available when I call on them for simple advice, ongoing updates and problem solutions. They make me feel like I am their only client. Best of all, John and Gregg have become very close friends. I consider them family and can’t imagine doing a project without them.

We have collaborated with John and Gregg on a number of projects and they are an absolute pleasure to work with every time. They approach every project with a creative energy and excitement that is refreshing to be around. I've seen them on several occasions surprise clients by far exceeding expectations with deliverables and their level of attention to detail. They are friendly and fun to work with - I'd tackle any project with these two by my side and I highly recommend working with them.

I first met John and Greg photographing the apartment they designed for Steve Kroft for an Architectural Digest story. The building was in a venerable old Upper West Side courtyard building and the apartment had the lived-in qualities of comfort, style and informality. Since this initial introduction I have photographed many of their projects for the magazine and been their guest at their homes in New York, California and Hawaii. I have seen their skills in recognizing the latent potential in their commissions and seen those projects develop to the fullest. Their work has a broad range and is of the highest order. They couldn't be more pleasurable to work with.

John and Gregg are simply a powerhouse of a team. John is a licensed architect and they both have experience in construction and an eye for interior design that creates a formula of producing just the perfect work. I think for anyone who has little time and just wants to be at ease that the right thing will be done the first time around these are the guys to go to. With one simple explanation of what you are looking to accomplish, they create a vision and project plan that is unparallelled. I can write all I want here but their portfolio speaks for itself--the homes they have built and designed are the showcase of some of the top home magazines in the world. They are friendly, honest, professional, and to work with them is to investment in work that pays for itself.

My husband and I moved to California from New York 6 years ago. After a six month search and looking at over 50 homes for sale in Santa Barbara we bought a newly built 7000 sq. ft. home designed and newly built by Maienza-Wilson on 2 acres in Montecito. The home and landscape style is Mediterranean/Spanish/Andalusian, perfect for this area. We are so happy to have this home. The quality of construction is absolutely top notch and the design is beautiful with an amazing attention to details. Gregg and John brought ideas and construction materials to this home from their travels in India and Morocco which are very unique and beautiful. There is a good amount of beautiful tile; thick, walnut flooring; luxurious bathrooms and cabinetry . . I could go on and on. . . Having designed and built our previous home in New York, my husband and I are extremely opinionated and have very high standards. Since living in Santa Barbara we haven't seen another house we like better than this one. The only change we made was to open up the family room for more light and add some skylights in a bedroom hallway and Maienza-Wilson helped us with this work.

John Maienza and Gregg WIlson are brilliant, intuitive and creative designers. They delivers not only a very good looking and well coordinated product, but focuses on the entire environment we were trying to achieve together. By taking into consideration the specifics of our living needs and the space we had to work with, he delivered on a comprehensive vision. On the artistic side, John's work shows incredibly beautifully, and is well thought out to the smallest detail - whether it be chosing the final accent pieces, or leveraging the stream of light. I can't give a higher review, and recommend others consult with them on projects of any size. In addition to designing and building a home for us, Maienza Wilson has remained an important component of our lives, and has assisted in redecorating advice, and assisting with a business design project that I had as well.

As a designer, having experienced the Maienza-Wilson team's unparalleled creativity, professionalism and attention to detail while working with them on multiple projects I would recommend no one else. From start to finish their work is comparable to none other. Whether you're looking for a living room makeover or a new home design and build, Maienza-Wilson will far exceed any and all expectations, no matter how high.

John Maienza and Gregg Wilson have an amazing sense of design. It was truly an honor to work with these two talented individuals and to photograph their works.

I am executive director of a non-profit organization fabled for its Annual Galas. The Maienza-Wilson team came into a blank space and created a phantasmagoria of sights, sounds and experience, using incredible imagination to make an underwater room! With fishes swimming around, "kelp" fabric draped from columns - it was the most creative event we've ever had! These guys are cool cucumbers, when things get frantic, they stay focused - and pull off miracles. The year Maienza-Wilson did our event, our attendance was DOUBLED. We love them forever! I would recommend Mainza-Wilson to anybody and/or any group.

The team of John Maienza and Gregg Wilson did a phenomenal job in helping with the design and construction of our house. They provided a fine balance of creativity and real-world solutions to a difficult hill-side project.
