Armand Graham is an innovative architect and designer who spent his formative years in France. He has worked globally on projects in France, Italy, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, China and the United States. In 2003, Graham worked on the exhibition “Big and Green: Toward Sustainable Architecture in the 21st Century” at the National Building Museum and today is building a PHIUS-certified Passive House in upstate New York using prefabricated CLT construction.

Prior to founding his architecture practice AG, Graham was a lead designer for the award-winning W Hotel in Abu Dhabi while working for the avant-garde architecture firm Asymptote Architecture. Later at ARUP, he served as the Project Architect for the Venice Airport Expansion in Italy. Recently, Graham has focused on residential and commercial ventures in the northeastern United States. Notably, his collaboration with Aaron Yassin and ATMOS on a lobby and lounge in Washington, DC earned an Architizer Jury Award. 

Graham prides himself on insightful understanding of his clients’ needs and crafting innovative solutions that marry functionality with inspiration. He is committed to helping move the architecture industry towards a more environmentally conscious way of building and aims to move the needle in that direction with every project. Graham believes collaboration is the key to achieving this mission. In addition, Graham has always been fascinated with digital prefabrication to open up new design possibilities and make project delivery more effective. 

Graham received his Master of Architecture degree from Yale University and his bachelor's degree from Princeton University, where he wrote his senior thesis on André Bloc, the French artist and founder of the seminal 20th century magazine “Today, Art and Architecture.”
