Since founding Ozark Modern (Formerly Bradley Edwards Architect) in 2008, Bradley has perpetually redefined a design approach that combines playfulness, practicality and collaboration. Encompassing a diverse range of scales, materials and project types, every design proposition is an opportunity to embrace the unknown, the emphatic or the awkward. A graduate of the University of Arkansas BARCH program in 1993, Bradley has remained firmly committed to designing and learning from the building culture, landscape and peculiarities of the Ozarks.

Always beginning with the adage “make more with less”, our firm’s design philosophy pivots on economy and experimentation.  Whether out of necessity or desire this is a primary fulcrum for arriving at a solution. The overarching inquiries in this practice are: “Can we do without this?”, “Can this thing do that thing too?”, “How can we make the most space with the fewest things?” This is a way of making that promotes good design, sustainable design, and an economic advantage for the client, builder, and site.
