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.

HOTEL MICHAEL
PALIO RESTAURANTSENTOSA, SINGAPORE
Michael Graves has had a long
fascination with Italy, going back
to his student days when he
spent two years at the American
Academy in Rome. He has
returned to Italy many times since
and was therefore very happy
to design the Italian restaurant
at Hotel Michael. The restaurant
takes its name from the Palio,
a famed horse race held twice
each summer in Siena, Italy.
The 17 sectors of the city, each
represented by its own banner,
race against each other in a festive
spectacle. The inspiration for
the décor of the Palio restaurant
at Hotel Michael comes from
those distinctive and colorful
banners as well as the celebratory
atmosphere that they evoke.

HOTEL BARSENTOSA, SINGAPORE
A tribute to one of America’s
greatest contemporary architects
Michael Graves, Hotel Michael is
a luxurious treat for art lovers.
The art gallery-like atmosphere
in every maple-accented room is
complemented with mural-adorned
walls and artistic furnishings
and accessories that exude the
designer’s signature elegance.
Even the bathrooms are works of
art, with flower-motif mosaics on
the walls and the unusual blue
mosaic-tiled circular shower.
High up in the rooftop vaults of
Hotel Michael, the hip nightclub
called the Sky Bar is a dramatic
space where architecture meets
the sky. Hundreds of light fixtures
play off the blue upper reaches of
the room and create the impression
of a starry night. The furnishings
include a collection of 20th century
modern classics, showcasing the
high design theme of the hotel
and the special experience of this
particular venue.

CROCKFORDS TOWER
HOTARUSENTOSA, SINGAPORE
The entrance to the Japanese
restaurant Hotaru, located off the
main activities of the casino level,
is a portal of fireflies calmly
flashing their bright lights
(“Hotaru” means “firefly” in
Japanese). The main restaurant
space features a performance of
chefs at Sushi and Robatayaki
Bars, with guests seated below
billowing planes of light. With an
understated elegance associated
with Japanese design, the surfaces
are simple juxtapositions of
contrasting materials such as
rough granite and polished maple.
Tucked away at the edge of
the restaurant is a private
entrance for VIP guests, as well
as private tatami rooms. Hotaru
accommodates 139 seats in the

Bar, a stunning high-energy zone
with a performance stage and a

ST. REGIS CAIRO
ASIAN RESTAURANTCAIRO, EGYPT
Asian Restaurant
The Main Dining Room is intimate
and dimly lit. Smoothed natural
edge walnut tables, modern
Asian style chairs and textured
upholsteries sit atop a simple black
slate floor. An illuminated, mystical
sculpture is suspended from the
ceiling, dripping with beads of
glass and metal, reflecting itself in
a pool of water below. Monumental
Chinoiserie cabinets fill one side of
the room, displaying rustic vessels
and ceramics. Crimson brushed
lacquer, aged patina, embossed
leather panels and rough stone
cover the surfaces throughout.
Mysterious sources of light peek
around corners and from within
coves, seemingly carved into the
material’s edge.

BRASSERIECAIRO, EGYPT
Sounds of active dining and lively
conversation draw you in.
The guest is escorted through the
large vaulted space to their table
in the Main Dining Room or the
Garden terrace.
A hustle and flurry of activity
occurs as food is being prepared
and plated for exquisite
presentation, enhancing the dining
expenence. The service corridor
is styled to look like an authentic
Parisian market, boasting a
bountiful display of bread, pastnes
and other freshly prepared items

LOBBY BARCAIRO, EGYPT
The Lobby Bar is a destination of
ultimate sophisitcation. The Upper

crown from the monumental dome,
defining the main cocktail lounge.
Stepping down into the elegantly
masculine space, guests will notice
the bespoke mural, a signature
element of the St. Regis. Guests can
gather at low, comfortable lounge
chairs and tables surrounding a
central confidante sofa for drinks.
Dramatic sheer drapery frame the
invigorating nighttime views of the
Nile beyond.

CHARLIE TROTTER
SEAFOOD RESTAURANTNEW YORK, NY
MGA&D designed a signature
seafood restaurant for the
legendary Chef Charlie Trotter.
The design incorporates abstract
senses of old ships, ocean currents
and rippling seaplants. Trotter has
commented that in looking for
a design partner for this unique
project it was very important for
him to get outside of the realm of
“Restaurant Designer Row.” His
idea was to “think outside the box”
and to find a visionary, a designer
of high standards who could take
his ideas and breathe life into
them. Widely recognized for his
culinary genius with seafood,
the design was developed as a
partnership between Trotter and
MGA&D to develop three very
distinct “zones” for his restaurant:
the main dining room, a drinking
bar/lounge, and a unique “raw
seafood” bar. Private dining
facilities will be available as well.
