Michael Graves Architecture (MG), a Princeton-based leader in planning, architecture, and interior design on Monday announced it acquired Kollin Altomare Architects, a Los Angeles-based firm renowned for its expertise in hospitality design. This strategic move marks a significant expansion for MG, broadening its footprint while enhancing its capabilities in the luxury hospitality sector.
This acquisition follows MG’s recent growth, which includes the addition of Maryland-based Waldon Studio Architects, New Jersey-based Jose Carballo Architectural Group, North Carolina-based Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects, Washington, D.C.-based PGN Architects, Texas-based practice technology consultancy Parallax Team, and Knoxville, Tennessee-based Studio Four Design.

Under the new company structure, Kollin will continue to lead Kollin Altomare’s 20-person team. Guided by Furey, Kollin Altomare will be purposefully integrated into the larger MG organization, providing critical expertise in the hospitality sector. As part of MG’s network, Kollin Altomare will leverage advanced design capabilities, including cross-regional collaboration and mentorship opportunities, while maintaining its strong commitment to client relationships. With combined resources, the firm is well-positioned to tackle new opportunities.
