Dake Wells Architecture

Brief: Dake Wells Architecture's steadfast commitment to innovative and sustainable design has been recognized by clients, peers, and publications nationally. With offices in Springfield and Kansas City, we serve civic clients and communities across the midwest- Dake Wells Architecture is an emerging voice for design excellence in the heart of the Ozarks. Optimistic about our pursuit, we seek to enrich the lives of people through thoughtful designs that engage others in the process and the product of our efforts. The firm was founded in 2004 by Brandon Dake, FAIA, LEED AP and Andrew Wells, FAIA, LEED AP, and has grown to serve a variety of public and private clients. With one location in downtown Springfield, Missouri, and another in Kansas City, Missouri, Dake Wells Architecture’s reputation is growing as a leader in intelligent design solutions for progressive clients and the firm is committed to raising the level of architectural design excellence in the Midwest. Brandon and Andrew share a common vision to build a practice where a passion for design excellence forms the foundation of a collaborative design studio. Growing up in rural Missouri meant Brandon and Andrew could relate to the common public misconception that designed solutions are expensive or frivolous. Instead, they believe design is not only appropriate, but essential to our quality of life. It is rooted in thorough analysis, rigorous investigation, and meticulous execution that is achieved through diligence and commitment to the cause. Check out some of our work at
