Wilkie & Zanley, Architects, formerly Yops & Wilkie, was founded by Jack Yops in 1955. His practice consisted mostly of churches, schools and office buildings.

We have since become much more diversified adding municipal, recreational, medical and light industrial projects to our scope.

Jack Yops & John Wilkie made a pact to work together to consistently provide the best architectural services in the region. Dave Zanley is committed to the same goal.

Jack Yops retired in 1988 and is now deceased, but his legacy continues in the philosophy of Wilkie & Zanley:

"Design beautiful buildings that work . . . put your client on a pedestal."

Our practice has been concentrated in a relatively small geographic area where our staff lives and works. We understand the fabric of these communities. we have a good working relationship with local municipalities and we are knowledgeable about general contractors in this region.

We pride ourselves on our ability to effectively communicate with clients and contractors, and to work within mutually agreed budget constraints.

Our success has been built on the foundation of a long list of satisfied clients. We believe that every problem that we can solve on paper will not have to be solved in the field.

The principals of Wilkie & Zanley take a “hands-on” approach to the practice of architecture.

Both John Wilkie and Dave Zanley are accomplished designers, and one or both of them are personally involved in the design of every project.

John and Dave have worked together for over 20 years, and they share a harmonious design philosophy.

Wilkie & Zanley understands the unique importance of a building project to an owner. We strive to make the process as simple and enjoyable as possible with predictable results. We are always willing to go the extra mile for every project large or small. We are at your service.
