In 2018, Maugel DeStefano celebrated the firm’s 25th anniversary and set a course for sustained long-term growth by naming Daniel Barton, Jonathan Cocker, Mike Kunz, and Mark Pelletier as principals alongside Founder Brent Maugel. In 2019, Maugel Architects acquired DeStefano Architects of Portsmouth, NH, naming Founder Lisa DeStefano a principal of the combined firm. The acquisition accelerated the firm’s growth trajectory by immediately expanding its market position and geographical reach throughout New England. In October of 2022, Cocker, Kunz and Pelletier became equal majority shareholders of Maugel DeStefano Architects, and Brent Maugel transitioned to Principal Emeritus in January of 2023.
“We are truly honored to be recognized as Architectural Firm of the Year for 2023. Our growth and reputation in the marketplace today are a direct result of our expertise and ability to navigate the complex challenges faced by companies of all sizes in rapidly evolving economic and technological landscapes," explained Jonathan Cocker, principal at Maugel DeStefano Architects.

Our team of experts has truly mastered the art of client advocacy, creative problem-solving, innovative design, and delivering value to our clients. This prestigious award serves as an affirmation that we are on the right path.”
