Michael Graves Architecture has once again expanded its operation after announcing the acquisition of the Texas-based AEC technology consultants Parallax Team. 

The firm’s fifth such expansion in the past 15 months follows the acquisitions of PGN Architects, Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce, Waldon Studio, and Jose Carballo Architectural Group (each located in the mid-Atlantic market) and will buy the firm stakes in a new sector.

“We have been working closely with Parallax for some time, and have remained impressed with the way their team is able to seamlessly integrate these important technologies into day-to-day practice,” the firm’s President and CEO Joe Furey said. “When evaluating this acquisition, we were not only excited at the prospect of joining their team with ours but at the proposition of being involved with a company that has such unifying potential — both internally for our staff, and externally from an industry standpoint. Collaboration has been an essential part of our strategic plan from the beginning, and we are thrilled to bring in such an innovator to be part of our next step.” 

The move is part of a larger, ten-year plan initiated with the 2022 acquisition of Baltimore’s Waldon Studio Architects. 

“Parallax Team is well known not only for the quality of our work but for our willingness to help foster innovation industry-wide within all of our clients’ offices,” Aaron Maller, Director at Parallax Team, said finally. “We are looking forward to seeing what we can continue to bring to the industry with the additional capabilities afforded to us, now that we are a part of Michael Graves. Our central focus will be bringing our services to as many design professionals as possible, while continuing to serve our existing clients more efficiently by streamlining our processes and eliminating inefficiencies.”
