WE ARE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY FIRM.

INTERIOR DESIGN

We believe interior design should reflect each client’s culture and communicate their values while meeting both their functional and aesthetic goals. Our projects range from company headquarters to international hotels to interiors for public institutions. Working in conjunction with MGA&D’s product designers, our interior designers often custom-design furniture and artwork that complement the character of the firm’s architecture and interiors.

ARCHITECTURE

We believe that architecture is inextricably tied to use, place, client aspirations and cultural traditions. We also believe that the greatest buildings are those that cannot be imagined anywhere else in the world. Thus, it is our mission to provide clients around the globe with highly functional, intuitive design solutions that are sensitive to an ever changing built environment in both scale and context. We bring design excellence to all building types.

PLANNING

We see planning as a vital part of the built landscape, a process that begins with the development of a hierarchical organization of spatial relationships between buildings and the surrounding built or natural context. Our master plans impart a distinct sense of community and place, while establishing a framework for current and future decisions. Throughout the world, we have created award-winning designs that are functional, efficient, site specific and sustainable.


PRODUCT DESIGN

We provide integrated product design services. We are well known for designing products that deliver an inspired balance of form and function. We have brought over 2000 Michael Graves-branded consumer products to market across all retail distribution channels. Among our branded partnerships are: Kimberly-Clark, Alessi, Target Stores, Stryker, JCPenney, Disney and Steuben.

BRANDING

We have extensive experience in brand building – beginning with the management of our own consumer brand Michael Graves Design. For our clients, our integrated team of industrial designers, graphic designers and brand managers provide extensive brand building services in the development of standout consumer brands.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

We provide complete graphic design services ranging from product-specific graphics and marketing collateral to retail planogram layout and environmental graphics for a diverse client base. We have designed everything from watch faces, to restaurant logos, to environmental signage for the world’s largest integrated resort.

OUR VISION

MGA&D offers expertise in many different building types for colleges and universities. Our work includes comprehensive master plans, new construction, renovations and expansions within traditional campus settings as well as in dense urban environments.

MASTER PLAN

KEAN UNIVERSITYWENZHOU-KEAN UNIVERSITY MASTER PLANWENZHOU, CHINA

Wenzhou Kean University will be China’s first full-scale American-style university. Michael Graves Architecture & Design has developed scheme options and master planning strategies that relate to the existing campus context and character while solidifying a new campus framework to work for both faculty, staff and students as an integrated campus community. The project site is approximately 500 acres, including a phase one 175 acre main campus area, and a 325 acre phase II area for future development.

The phase one main campus includes four main districts: a welcome center district, an academic district, a student district and an athletic district. Utilizing the already existing site terrains and natural features, a water course creates a central focal point surrounded by four main buildings: the School of Architecture & Design, the School of Global Business, the Student Library and Student Union Center.
