Throughout his experience in engineering and architecture design firms, Miles, found that architects and engineers often times have a difficult time working together. At its worst, the result is a disconnect between the architectural systems and the building systems which creates excess energy usage, poor user experience, and unnecessary construction changes due to poor coordination. Miles wanted to provide his clients with a better experience.

The overall vision of Dake Collaborative is to provide exceptional architecture and engineering solutions that consider both the architecture and building systems from the beginning. As a result, these buildings are highly sustainable, well coordinated, and are wonderful spaces to inhabit.
