We hired Moira because her strength, in our opinion, was not making a home bigger to get what you needed, but to be creative in the space that already exists. > > Moira was thoughtful in her approach, and redesigned our entire first floor living space while always respectful of our budget. We have an amazing new mudroom, laundry room, family room with built ins and the most beautiful kitchen I could have ever imagined! The flow has improved dramatically and everyone has commented on how our house seems the same, just "better". To us, that is the best compliment we could have hoped to receive! > > We highly recommend Moira and everyone at MD+A to anyone in need of an honest, intelligent and talented architect. **★★★★★ — Kate Leness, Oct. 2015** > Maynard Design helped us renovate our kitchen, mudroom, master bath and closet in 2014. We couldn't be happier with the entire process: concept stage was detailed and thoughtful, while follow-through and execution were impeccable and timely. > > Nick is a very thoughtful architect, with a creative vision that adheres to the style of the house. He respected our Victorian architecture but added a distinctly fresh, modern feel to each room. He can see the big picture but also focuses on creative and fun solutions and is laser-focused on client satisfaction. He was on-site regularly to ensure our contractors were executing the plans as he envisioned. > > Libby & Moira add to this already complete package with their impeccable interior design taste and vision. Their assistance in selecting fixtures, marble and cabinets was invaluable. **★★★★★ — s c, Sept. 2015** > I worked with Nick while employed for Marvel Construction Inc. out of Waltham, MA; a high-end residential construction and remodeling contractor. He drew all of the plans for a large, multi-phase project in Brookline, MA. Nick did an outstanding job on the design of a beautiful kitchen, mudroom, powder room, master suite, laundry room and a large deck. The finished product was nothing short of magazine quality work; in design, layout and finishes. I highly recommend Nick Maynard and his firm. **★★★★★ — irenehchu, May 2015** > Nick helped us renovate our home a few years ago. We knew we wanted to stay in our home long-term, and although our needs were straightforward and tastes simple, we were quite particular in having our home done "just right." > > Nick is a very thoughtful architect. His vision and attention to detail turned our ho-hum house into a well-designed and distinctive home. We love our home, and it still feels like new! ## Selected projects - [Coastal Rhode Island House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-rhode-island-house-pj-vj~6978457) - Location: Little Compton, RI - Photos: 3 - [Modern/Traditional Kitchen / Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-traditional-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~1321645) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: We updated the kitchen in this traditional, suburban home to be truly functional for family life and entertaining.

Are they walnut?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello Susan, the cabinets were custom built here in New England and yes, they are walnut. **Q: Where are the leather chairs from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Where is the console table from? **Q: what are the countertops? thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)* Countertops? A: Hello! The island counter is superwhite quartzite and the L counters are soapstone. **Q: Don't like changes to functionality in Houzz Ideabooks** *(in Other)* Has anyone else noticed that in Houzz Ideabooks, you can no longer change the order of photos or move photos from one ideabook to another? And, if so, how do you feel about it? I hate it. For example, If I'm exploring a front door color, I'll save several ideas to the same book (wood stain vs red paint). Then I group similar photos together so my spouse can fully see all the variations on the same choice (i.e., wood) before comparing that choice to another (i.e., paint). Also, you can't move photos from one ideabook to another. So, photos I previously saved in an idea book for general exterior, I now want to move to a new ideabook about shutters. But can't. I don't think it helps users to remove functionality. What do you think? A: Wow! I can't believe it is back, thank you!!! That was incredibly fast! **Q: What is the flooring? Its beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The contractor (Marvel Construction) procured it, but we specified hardwood walnut with a clear, satin (somewhere between semi-gloss and matte) finish. Sorry I don't have more specifics! **Q: Pulls** *(in Photo Questions)* What size are the cabinet pulls?? A: The cabinet pulls are 4" from restoration hardware. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-17.*
