Kent Duckham

Kent Duckham

Founder & Owner

With 30+ years of design and architectural experience, Kent Duckham is the visionary of Duckham Architecture. Inspired by his father, who is also an architect, Kent knew early on what his career path would be. After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Design and Architecture from the University of Florida, Kent went on to earn his Master's Degree in Architecture from MIT. He subsequently became a Licensed Architect in the state of Massachusetts.

After graduation, Kent spent several years working as Project Manager at CBT, a prestigious downtown Boston firm. It was freelance work however, that consumed much of Kent's spare time. With the growing demand for Kent's accomplished services, Duckham Architecture was formed in 1996.

Over the years, Kent has worked on high-end residential projects in affluent communities in Massachusetts as well as on Cape Cod. His skillful designs and attention to detail continue to withstand the test of time. Outside of work, Kent enjoys spending time with his family and is an avid cyclist.
