Arizona’s Top Rated Local® Architects Award Winner: Kendle Design Collaborative

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that, thanks to their impressive 96.00 Rating Score™, Kendle Design Collaborative is a 2018 award winner.

There are many architecture firms in Arizona, but when you want a firm that offers sophisticated designs and next-level problem-solving skills, there’s no better option than Kendle Design Collaborative.

A small firm, Kendle Design Collaborative has managed to make a big impact on their clients, and that has helped them earn a number of positive reviews, as well as an award-winning 96.00 Rating Score. Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews they’ve received:

“Kendle design took on the redesigning of our outdated master bath. Their design completely changed the previous layout, adding modern features in a crisp and functional way. The result was stunning. Working with Brent was a pleasure, as he listened to our concerns and ideas with an open mind. This was the second major project that Brent did for us, and we are so happy with both. He is a true creative genius.” – Joan and Anton S

Every business would love to be able to say that they get five-star reviews, so we sat down with President, Brent Kendle, to learn their secrets to success. Here’s what he had to say:

What is your secret to such a strong online reputation?

We are diligent about posting quality content once a week on social media. We are still working on building our brand, and we post about the projects we take on using high-quality visuals so that potential clients can see our work first-hand. When we post our original designs, we see a lot of traffic.

What makes you different? In other words, if you had one minute to sell somebody on why they should choose you, what would you say?

We are a small, boutique firm, and we don’t try to be more than we are. We won’t design just anything our clients want; we are experts in style with a passion for creating original designs influenced by regional modernism.

We try to ensure that no two projects look the same, and that our clients all have an original, unique place to call home.

Why do you do what you do? In other words, what is your mission and/or how do you attempt to make the world a better place?

Architecture, for me, is more than just a career; it’s also a hobby. Some people play golf, but I’d rather design a house. My goal is to show people that they can have a modern design that stays true to the history and culture of the region.

Outside of building a strong online reputation, what else do you do to market and grow your business?

Most of our business comes through word-of-mouth referrals. We have self-published a magazine with the ARA (Arizona Residential Architecture), which allows us to highlight our work with the trade companies that sponsor it. We will be occasionally featured in LUX and Home and Garden as well. We participate in networking groups. We are also involved in philanthropic work and are dedicated to giving back to the community.

What advice do you have for other businesses trying to build a strong online reputation and grow their business?

Don’t underestimate the power of social media. People need to be able to recognize your brand and remember who you are.


Thank you so much, Brent, for taking the time to share your wisdom with us. And congratulations to the whole team at Kendle Design Collaborative for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner!
