Graves spent much of the late 1960s and early 1970s designing [[modernism|modernist]] residences.

His first commission was  the Hanselman House in [[Fort Wayne, Indiana]], a design completed in 1971.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ayoubi |first1=Ayda |title=Architect Michael Graves' First Commission Hits the Market |url=https://www.architectmagazine.com/design/buildings/architect-michael-graves-first-commission-hits-the-market |website=Architect Magazine |date=July 14, 2017}}</ref> The modernist structure built for $55,000 received an American Institute of Architects Honor Award in 1975. The New York Times described the home as "another of Graves's experiments in cubist‐influenced spatial manipulations" and cited the obvious influence of [[Le Corbusier]] on Graves' work.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Goldberger |first1=Paul |title=Design: The national A.I.A. awards |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1975/05/18/archives/design-the-national-ala-awards-mostly-bs-some-as.html |website=The New York Times |date=May 18, 1975}}</ref>

Built for friends he met in high school, the home went up for sale in 2017 for $264,888. The four-bedroom residence features a Graves-painted mural in the living room signed by the architect during a visit to the home in 2000.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hansen |first1=Kristine |title=Michael Graves-Designed Modern Home Is a Steal in Fort Wayne |url=https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/michael-graves-home-fort-wayne/ |website=Realtor.com |date=July 18, 2017}}</ref>

Graves also became one of the [[New York Five]], along with [[Peter Eisenman]], [[Charles Gwathmey]], [[John Hejduk]] and [[Richard Meier]].<ref name=Goldberger>{{Citation| author=Paul Goldberger| title = Architecture View: A Little Book That Led Five Men to Fame| newspaper = [[The New York Times]]| date =February 11, 1996| url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9505E2DB1539F932A25751C0A960958260&sec=&spon=&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink|access-date=August 22, 2017}}</ref> This informal group of Princeton and New York City architects, also known as the Whites due to the predominant color of their architectural work, espoused a pure form of [[modernism]] characterized by clean lines and minimal ornamentation. The New York Five became the "standard-bearers of a movement to elevate modernist architectural form into a serious theoretical pursuit."<ref name=Goldberger/> The book, ''Five Architects'' (1973) describes some of their early work.<ref name=Goldberger/>
