The Kitchen is one of the most popular and hardest working rooms in a home.  Central to most lifestyles, it has become a design focus. One of Mahoney Architects’ specialties is Kitchen design.  Expert in functional requirements, our designers and architects know what makes a kitchen great is individual to each client. We have received many awards for our excellence in kitchen design and Colleen Mahoney has been recognized for the publication of her book, “Great Kitchens”, full of design ideas that work for America’s Top Chefs.

The kitchen is a place to entertain and for the family to gather, as well as a place to prepare meals. We collaborate with our clients to create a layout that fits their needs and enhances the enjoyment of the home.  Organization and storage contribute to the efficiency of a kitchen and are directly related to successful design. Because we are continuously designing kitchens and exploring the concepts of what makes a kitchen great, we are up-to-date on the latest appliances and finishes.  As experienced design professionals, we can help with decisions on cabinetry, countertops, finishes, flooring, accessories and lighting to enhance and bring the kitchen of your dreams to life.
