Their team listened to our needs and aspirations, ensuring that our vision was understood and enhanced through their experience and expertise. The creativity and ingenuity displayed by the Dake Collaborative team were outstanding, and our project turned an old, “well amortized” space into something fresh and remarkable – simple and beautiful, with a strong focus on functionality and aesthetics. Additionally, Dake Collaborative's attention to detail and project management helped us maintain timelines and budget goals, with an open line of communication throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Dake Collaborative for any architectural design needs, and we are thrilled with the outcome. Their dedication to collaboration, creativity, exceptional client service, and the local community would add significant value to any project.” - Cameron Kenyon
I first started working with Miles in 2021 for a big addition project that I was acting as my own general contractor on. He was patient and always had my best interest in mind. He took the time to make sure I was happy with the design and his communication was constant. In 2023, I hired Miles for a commercial project and his services have only gotten better than the first time around. His team has grown yet they still manage to keep attention to the client. I would recommend Miles to anyone for his attention to detail, design abilities, communication, and supporting a small business! - Jessica Valenzuela
Their outstanding communication skills, commitment to collaboration, and understanding of sustainability in design and engineering were evident throughout the process. Dake Collaborative consistently and actively sought and incorporated feedback to optimize design outcomes to meet quality, schedule, and cost. Overall, Dake Collaborative exceeded our expectations, and I enthusiastically endorse them to anyone seeking a reliable and innovative mechanical engineering partner. - Fred Choi, Fellowship Denver
Miles is an extremely empathetic and collaborative partner and he is able to explain the sustainability goals and objectives to a client and team in simple clear terms so that everyone can understand the process and needs for the project. Miles and I worked extensively on the energy modeling and MEP needs for a net-zero building for a Nature Center located in Nederland and his ability to fluidly study multiple options and alternatives for our mechanical systems directly resulted in the high performance of our building. Dake Collaborative has also participated in project interviews and panel discussions with our office and we always appreciate his down-to-earth manner, quiet confidence, and expertise. - Linnaea, Arch11

Working with Dake Collaborative for our Architectural and Planning needs has been a perfect fit for our ever changing projects. The team has supported projects varying from new builds to the restoring of existing historical buildings. I would recommend the Dake Collaborative team to anyone who is seeking a partner that will focus on quality work, great communication, and excellent designs all while creating and maintaining healthy work and living environments. - AK Washington, Howell Creek Capital
"Dake Collaborative helped us design our dream home. Their attention to detail, design and easy communicative style helped to make the design process fun and pleasurable, taking away the stress and worry of what can be an arduous task.
The team listened to what we needed and desired in our new home and worked with us closely to achieve that goal. Miles listened carefully to what our style ideas were and helped start us on the path to a finished design. We knew Mid-Century Modern was our goal, however it also needed to be accessible for people of differing mobility levels. With the education and knowledge behind the design team, they were able to complement our wish list with beautiful design elements helping to create what is now our new home. One we know is stylish yet a home we can welcome anyone in to visit a few hours or a few days." - Daniel and Melissa Hesselius
