Boston-based design and architecture firm RODE Architects has announced the acquisition of McMahon Architects, a full-service practice that specializes in workplace interiors, hospitality, restaurant, residential, and environmental design.

The acquisition aims to strengthen RODE’s capabilities in several key sectors, especially its mission to reimagine the modern workplace to suit a post-pandemic landscape. The firm views workplace, hospitality, and retails as areas of growth and strengths of McMahon Architects. According to RODE, the acquisition will center around a commitment to client service, collaboration, and design excellence.

“We have long maintained an entrepreneurial spirit, and as business owners, we seek out opportunities to strengthen our team and expand our reach,” said RODE co-founder and principal Eric Robinson. “The strategic acquisition of McMahon Architects and its expertise is a milestone moment in our history and enables us to shape the future of workplace and hospitality design while serving our clients more comprehensively.”

“The alignment with RODE from a sector and design standpoint makes this the right choice,” said McMahon Architects President David McMahon. “Their excellent reputation in the market gives me the full confidence that my clients will receive the same caliber of service and design excellence they have come to expect. I look forward to aiding the transition and collaborating with the RODE team over the coming months.”

McMahon is expected to join RODE for a transitional period to help merge capabilities.
