B+A Architecture is a full-service architectural design, planning, and consulting firm founded in 1995 and based in Kansas City. The firm's experience encompasses commercial and residential development, adaptive reuse of historic buildings, multifamily, and mixed-use projects. The firm's work includes senior housing, co-living spaces, hospitality, light industrial facilities, retail, work environments, restaurants, and custom homes. Every project reflects a commitment to thoughtful design, functional solutions, and meaningful spaces that serve diverse purposes.

B+A Architecture tackles every project with a mix of passion and precision. The practice-driven methodology is all about accountability and collaboration, making sure the design meets the client's vision while keeping in mind usability and aesthetics. From feasibility studies that assess project viability to value-added services that help streamline development, B+A Architecture combines technical know-how with an adherence to budgets and schedules. This full-service approach ensures that each stage of development, design, and construction is smoothly executed.

The roots of the firm go back to its founder, Dennis M. Bradley (1950–2020), whose career was shaped by dedication and an adventurous spirit. Born in Atchison, Kansas, Bradley's early interest in architecture took him to Kansas State University, then into service in the U.S. Army as a topographical surveyor in Germany during the Vietnam War. He achieved perfection in every work, be it a leading firm or any large-scale projects such as the Kansas City Zoo Animal Hospital, the 18th & Vine District Gem Theatre rehabilitation, or the 10th Street Bridge in Phoenix.

It ranged from work throughout the Midwest to projects overseas, such as in Iraq, India, Uruguay, and Sudan; truly global vision informs Bradley's perspective on architecture. His legacy remains firm at B+A Architecture with the team he carefully pieced together, keeping true to Bradley's core values of hard work, innovation, and love of life.

Built upon Bradley's philosophical underpinnings, the B+A Architecture firm continues its influence on the Kansas City built environment and beyond. Its designs meet functional needs, building a lasting impact that is reflective of a collaboration in creativity and excellence in all pursuits.
