Rather than a wall oven or
range with cooktop and
oven, the client opted for
a microwave / convection
oven combination. Raposa
designed a custom
cabinet to fit the oven and
follow the slope of the
ceiling, making good use
of a snug space.

Collaboration is key on any project.
In this instance, interior designer Ally Maloney
of Maloney Interiors already had a client
and a clear concept for their Newport condo
renovation. What she needed was to assemble
a team to get it done. Fortunately, a discussion
with her contractor, DBR Builders, led her
to kitchen designer Shannon Raposa at
Riverhead Building Supply in Middletown,
Rhode Island. Raposa knows how to make use
of every inch of space in a kitchen or bath. With
this trio of professionals engaged, collaboration
and renovation on the Newport condominium
project were underway.
For Maloney, transforming a small space is in
her wheelhouse. With more than seven years of
experience designing interiors for luxury yachts
as well as projects on land, Maloney knows how
to tease the most function and storage out of
the tightest of spaces while keeping her designs
