Memorable places, thoughtfully made.
M2 is a boutique architecture studio designing luxury hospitality, residential, and commercial projects. Built on real technical expertise and decades of work in the field.
M2 makes memorable places. Thoughtful architecture, serious technical chops, and enough years in the field to know the difference between a beautiful idea and a buildable one.
Founded by Mack McKinney, who has partnered with Griffin Moore, M2 pairs a strong creative voice with rigorous technical delivery. Mack brings the design instincts and the long Gulf Coast relationships. Griffin brings the detail-first execution and a portfolio that spans regions and building types.
We stay small on purpose. Fewer projects, deeper attention. Every engagement is principal-led, and every drawing set gets the same care whether it's a 6,000-square-foot residence or a boutique hotel.
Clients come to us because we understand budgets as well as we understand dreams, and we know how to keep both intact from concept through construction.
Three practices, one standard.
Luxury work across three sectors, held to the same design and technical bar.
Hospitality
Boutique hotels, resort residences, and pool-forward retreats. Designed around arrival, atmosphere, and the kind of guest experience people talk about long after checkout.
Residential
Custom homes and estate renovations built around the way you actually live. Made for daily ritual, easy indoor-outdoor flow, and a long life on the coast or wherever you plant it.
Commercial
Refined workplace, retail, and mixed-use projects that carry your brand at architectural scale.
A small firm, so we can give every project everything.
Boutique by design
We take on a handful of projects each year. That's how the partners stay in the drawings, in the meetings, and on the job site from first sketch to final walkthrough.
Dreams, realistically built
Ambitious design paired with clear-eyed cost thinking. We understand budgets, and we design within them without dulling the vision.
Decades of real-world experience
Between the two partners, a combined body of work across coastal resorts, urban commercial, and some genuinely complex custom homes.
Two principals. Complementary strengths.
Every M2 project is led by one of us. Often both.
Mack McKinney
Creative lead with a strong Gulf Coast reputation and long-standing relationships with high-caliber developers.
Griffin Moore
Detail-first executor with a portfolio that spans regions, climates, and building types.
