Design Process

Michael Graves & Associates is organized as three architecture studios led by Principals of the firm and an interior design studio. The architecture studio heads - Patrick Burke, Gary Lapera and Thomas Rowe - lead their projects from start to finish. They work collaboratively with Founding Principal Michael Graves, as well as with the interiors studio and the product designers and graphic designers of our sister company Michael Graves Design Group. Within each studio, our talented and experienced designers, technical architects and project managers dedicate themselves to the quality and success of each project, listening carefully to the needs of our clients and collaborators. We are as well regarded for our technical proficiency and management skills to keep projects on time and on budget as we are for design excellence.
