Joseph "Joe" Brandli, AIA
President
JOE ARCHITECT & Company
Joseph “Joe” Brandli grew up in a small Midwestern town near Rochester, Minnesota. Living on the edge of this growing bedroom community, he was surrounded by the construction of new homes. His childhood curiosity provoked me to sneak in after workers went home to study the plans left on site. Investigating each room to determine its use, he was fascinated by construction. Joe aspired to be an architect from the age of 12 and poured over books about architecture, gaining comprehension of architectural drawings at an early age. His Dad was also a big influence, as a man with humble means he was a dreamer and developer with the ability to make something from nothing.
