Maugel DeStefano Architects has an extensive portfolio of commercial projects across New England, including financial institutions, retail establishments, and hospitality spaces. Our designs have become part of the region’s commercial landscape, shaping places where people shop, dine, and connect.
Over the years, we have created environments for a wide range of clients, including banks, credit unions, retail plazas, franchise stores, boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and breweries. Each project reflects our commitment to purpose-driven design, long-term value, and client satisfaction.
Today, our commercial work continues to help communities and businesses thrive—strengthening brands, supporting growth, and creating spaces that endure.
Maugel DeStefano Architects, with great pride and care, renovated our space to reinforce the culture and brand of our establishment. They paid particular attention to preserving the historic nature of the space while helping to bring our design vision and requirements to fruition. With the help of Maugel DeStefano, we were able to maintain the exterior charm of our historic building and incorporate it on the inside while creating a functional modern workspace for our employees."
When our 140-year-old organization was planning a total renovation, we engaged a number of local architects for proposals and concept drawings. In the end, Maugel DeStefano Architects provided us with concepts that reflected a true understanding of our history and corporate culture. They took the time to understand what’s important to us to produce the best possible product.
Maugel DeStefano Architects has been, and will remain, one of the most important and valued professional resources in the restoration and preservation efforts at the historic Middle Street Baptist Church and attached Peirce Mansion in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
For decades, Maugel DeStefano has provided seemingly limitless experience, skill, dedication, and knowledge of all aspects of historic preservation design work. We have found their advocacy efforts on behalf of the church's Board of Trustees extremely valuable.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Maugel DeStefano Architects on multiple high-profile commercial design projects. All projects have been complex and architecturally diverse in their own way. I have formed a very trusting and valuable working relationship with the Maugel DeStefano team and have come to rely on their integrity and professionalism while providing design services and construction oversight.
As a Capital Projects Director, I am very selective. I can, without reservation, recommend Maugel DeStefano for your design needs."
