The Art of Elevated Living on the New Hampshire Seacoast

Great interior architecture does not simply occupy a room — it responds to it. For three decades, principal designer Maria Palance Perron has been at the forefront of New England’s luxury residential design landscape, crafting spaces that seamlessly balance sophisticated modern living with the deep, storied character of regional architecture.

As an award-winning designer with a 30-year legacy, Maria has built a career defined by an uncompromising eye for detail, bespoke material curation, and master-level spatial planning. Whether transforming a historic colonial estate, editing the fluid layout of an airy coastal sanctuary, or detailing a custom-millwork lakefront pavilion, her approach is deeply collaborative and architecturally driven.

Now permanently establishing her independent practice right here on the New Hampshire Seacoast, Maria brings a veteran perspective to Portsmouth, Rye, New Castle and beyond. Guided by the philosophy that luxury is found in the restraint of design, the authenticity of materials, and the flawless execution of a lifestyle, the studio delivers turnkey, publication-ready interiors for discerning clients.
