WELLS PORTER DESIGN, an award-winning professional corporation, traces its origin back to 1926. Our firm proudly embodies a deeply rooted regional esthetic in which an intimate understanding of Midwestern landscapes and rhythms of life serve as our focus. This philosophy influences our designs and built environments; providing aesthetically pleasing, intimately detailed functional solutions that elegantly serve the client’s programmatic wants and needs.
The firm’s philosophy goes beyond effectively analyzing client needs to include a dedication to long-term economy. Each client is a collaborator in the process, and we strive to maintain easy and open communication. We believe every project represents a unique answer to a design problem. The eight-decade-long legacy of our firm includes architectural services on a variety of building types, from garden sheds to courthouses. In all endeavors, listening informs analysis, technical knowledge underpins economy, and passion for our craft gives birth to outstanding design.
WELLS PORTER DESIGN operates as a collaborative studio, placing a high value on the unique experience and expertise each member brings to the firm. Combining the varied talents of all members produces a total that is truly greater than the sum of the parts. Our firm management style emphasizes open communication, both inside the studio and to the outside, allowing individual creativity to thrive, and producing a superior product. The firm maintains state-of-the-art capabilities in visualization, documentation, and 3-D modeling software.
