Maugel Architects, an award-winning planning, architectural and interior design firm in Harvard, MA, has acquired DeStefano Architects in Portsmouth, NH, bringing together the firms’ 50 years of combined experience in shaping exceptional buildings and spaces in Boston, Portsmouth and throughout the Northeast. The firm will maintain offices in both locations, bringing large scale design expertise to all of New England and beyond. Maugel Architects Founder Brent Maugel, and DeStefano Architects Founder Lisa DeStefano will spearhead continued growth and expansion strategies.
Maugel Architects has a history of making bold moves. In 2018, the firm celebrated its 25th anniversary and set a course for sustained long-term growth by relaunching the brand and naming Daniel Barton, Jonathan Cocker, Mike Kunz and Mark Pelletier as principals to the firm. This acquisition accelerates Maugel and DeStefano’s growth trajectories by immediately adding bandwidth in both capacity and geography.
