Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture

What Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture does

Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture (APMA) is a privately held, Omaha-based architectural design and planning firm founded in 1987 and currently operating with approximately 68 professionals across its North Downtown Omaha headquarters (1516 Cuming Street, in the Tip Top Building) and a secondary office in Red Oak, Iowa. The firm delivers an integrated design practice spanning architecture, interior design, urban planning, master planning, construction administration, and experiential graphic design — sold on a professional-services basis with custom project-based pricing. Service offerings are organized by sector across at least eight verticals, with primary emphasis on educational institutions (K-12 and higher education), healthcare providers, and non-profit organizations, complemented by civic/government, corporate/workplace, hospitality, real estate development, and arts/culture engagements.

The firm's go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through client relationships, competitive bidding on public-sector RFPs (directed to Anne Hillen), and repeat engagement with long-tenured clients such as Community Alliance (30+ years) and Siena Francis House (25+ years). Notable commissions span the $67M Community Alliance mental health facility, the 102,000 SF LEED Gold Omaha Central Library (with HDR), the 44-acre Millwork Commons master plan (with Black Dog Development), and the 42,000 SF Joslyn Art Museum Rhonda & Howard Hawks Pavilion (with Snøhetta), the latter winning the 2025 Prix Versailles World Title. Marketing is largely portfolio- and award-driven rather than digital-channel-led, and the firm has no disclosed AI/ML, software-product, or recurring-revenue technology layer — its offerings are pure professional services billed per project.
