Arkifex Studios

Arkifex Studios is an architecture firm in Springfield, MO, serving the Ozarks region across Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. The firm works on single-family residences, multi-family dwellings, office spaces, commercial spaces, and educational environments, and holds a rating of 4.70 from its customers.

The firm is described as award-winning and boutique, with a personal, hands-on approach to every project and a focus on client-centered design. After a decade of practice and over 300 projects, the team works in what they call Ozark Modernism, a design philosophy shaped by the rural and urban, old and new, raw and refined character of the modern Ozarks, with an emphasis on architecture connected to its surroundings and to the client's story. The team includes Blaine Whisenhunt as Design Principal, Michael Hampton and Tyler Hellweg as Principal Architects, Cody Danastasio as Co-Founder, Tim Anzalone, Cory Huffman, and Tanara Smith as Associate Architects, Andrew York as Project Architect, and Rich Kenly as Master Draftsman.

The office sits on West Walnut Street, about a tenth of a mile from Park Central Branch Library and the Springfield Greene County Library Park Central Branch, and a short walk from Park Central Square and South Campbell Avenue. Nearby government and civic landmarks include the Park Central Office Building and the office of Senator Claire McCaskill, each within roughly two hundred metres.

With a decade of completed work and more than 300 projects behind it, Arkifex Studios brings a regionally rooted, philosophically defined practice to Springfield's design community.
