Wendell Burnette Architects

Wendell Burnette Architects “Architecture is a process of distillation.” Wendell Burnette Architects is an internationally recognized architectural practice based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Our portfolio of work includes a wide range of private and public projects. The specific focus of the practice is concerned with space and light, context and place, and with the environment and landscapes in which we live. The architecture of the firm responds to the specifics of site and client needs, is resourceful in regards to budget, takes a pro-active approach to the craft of building, and s

trives to create spaces that engage people. The recent public and private commissions of the studio evidence our desire to be an active member of the communities in which we work and the physical shaping of those places regardless of locale.
