Wendell Burnette started his own architecture firm out of Phoenix, Arizona in 1996. Nothing would prove to the world that one’s architecture skills are competent and livable than to build one’s own house. Burnette went the extra mile to show his faith in his works by incorporating his office into his home. On one side of the building is Wendell Burnette’s private estate. On the other side of the building is Wendell Burnette Architects. The design has afforded a sense of family between Burnette and his co-workers and associates. The only detractor may be that Wendell Burnette has no option but to bring his work home with him.
