Graves Design Group is a distinguished architectural firm based in Pittsburgh, PA, known for its commitment to diversity and excellence in design. Established in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, our firm is proud to have a diverse team of dedicated professionals, averaging around 10 members plus consultants, from various backgrounds. This diversity enriches our creative approach and enhances our ability to deliver innovative design solutions.

We have built a strong reputation over the years, particularly within the automotive industry. A prime example of our work is our long-standing relationship with the Bobby Rahal Automotive Group. Our collaboration began with the design of a 1,000-car garage for UPMC, located on the same road as the Mercedes Benz of Pittsburgh dealership, owned by Bobby Rahal. This successful project led to further engagements, including the renovation of Volvo of Wexford, the design of a new dealership in Denver, CO, and most recently, the creation of a new Bobby Rahal Volvo Cars dealership in South Hills, Pennsylvania.

At Graves Design Group, we are dedicated to building lasting relationships with our clients by consistently meeting or exceeding their expectations. One of our notable projects includes our role as the Local Architect for a new department store and parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh, a significant development as the city had not seen a new department store in decades. Our strategic alliance with an out-of-state architect specializing in urban retail design, combined with our local expertise, ensured the project's success. Furthermore, our Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) status helped increase minority participation during the design and construction administration phases.

Our firm also led the architectural and engineering design team for the parking garage of the PPG Paints Arena (formerly Consol Energy Center). This LEED Silver-certified garage, designed in coordination with the renowned architecture firm HOK, serves both the arena and the adjacent Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh. Following the completion of the garage, we were commissioned to create a comprehensive maintenance manual to ensure the building's longevity.

Graves Design Group is recognized as a leader in parking garage design, adept at coordinating our projects with neighboring developments within an urban context. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and client satisfaction has solidified our reputation as a premier architectural firm in Pittsburgh and beyond.
