We are a design firm with the skills and expertise in the design and construction of architecture of the highest quality. We are motivated by the fundamental idea that good design enriches and benefits the lives of those who interact with it – whether it is at home, at work, at play or anywhere in between. We do not promote a particular style of architecture. Rather, we look to the physical and social influences of the building context to guide us to an appropriate architectural design that reinforces and invigorates the sense of place. Our firm’s focus is creating places for people - to live, to work, to play, to shop, to gather, or to be entertained, - creating quality spaces that are people places. Our architecture is not just about making something for people to look at, but about making spaces for people to experience - carefully crafted through the use of a multitude and variety of design techniques. The quality of our projects is evident in the spaces and details that we create. In everything we do we strive to have a creative solution that results in a heightened experience for the user. Celebrating 25 years of design in the community! ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Sustainable Design - Kitchen Design - Kitchen Remodeling - 3D Rendering - Green Building - Space Planning - Universal Design - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Handicap-Accessible Design - Basement Remodeling - Custom Homes ### Areas Served - Kansas City - Independence - Lees Summit - Gladstone - Leawood - Westwood - and more locations Nationwide - Countryside - Fairway - Mission - MIssion Hills - Mission Woods - Olathe - Overland Park - Prairie Village - Westwood Hills ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Piper-Wind Architects, Inc. | | Address | 2121 Central Street, Suite 143, Kansas City, Missouri 64108, United States | | Phone | (816) 474-3050 | | Website | http://www.piper-wind.com | | Followers on Houzz | 13 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/Piper-Wind-Architects-156713744359020/?ref=aymt\_homepage\_panel - Blog — http://www.piper-wind.com/index.php/contact ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Piper-Wind Architects, Inc.](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/piper-wind-architects-inc-pfvwus-pf~1865455576) - **Website:** http://www.piper-wind.com - **Phone:** (816) 474-3050 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2019–2022), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 1 review** ### All 1 review **★★★★★ — Homoly Design + Build, June 2018** > We have now completed several projects with Piper Wind and had wonderful experiences every time. John Wind in particular has been great about laying out realistic budgets early in the process so the final design comes in as planned. Their plans are well detailed and thought through making the construction process seamless. We would highly recommend this firm. ## Selected projects - [Hillside Tudor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillside-tudor-pj-vj~4323305) - Location: Mission Hills, KS - Photos: 7 - Description: This new 1-1/2 story, 4 bedroom home reflects our modern interpretation of the classic Tudor style, using external materials including blond brick; cut limestone surrounding the graceful entry, and painted cedar shingle siding, all aimed at integrating the house with its landscaping and the carefully preserved existing mature oak trees on site.
