WAKE Design + Architecture PLLC, is a comprehensive studio practice founded by Nathan E. Minett, who believes design and architecture exist between the boundaries of form and function, dwelling in that which is human while grounded in the physical world.  

If "function" is why we are hired and "form" is the easiest to control, then the aim of WAKE Design + Architecture PLLC is to dwell between these two - in everything that is human, emotional, beautiful and memorable while surpassing the needs of our clients and recognizing the ever-changing physical world our projects exist within.

The practice of architecture is more than the design and execution of built space. As designers, we should focus not on the "How Does it Work?" but instead on "What Does it Mean?" since the latter will inform the former, while producing evolved spatial conditions that are more functional and formally aesthetic. Our process pursues an architecture that affects relationships between its constituents, their environment, and their unique qualities.
