PatchWorked sits on a family farmstead in Nixa, MO, United States, by Dake Wells Architecture, recasting familiar outbuildings as a compact house-scale outpost for daily life. The project folds a detached garage and office into one elongated volume, giving these soon-to-be empty nesters a clear divide between work and home while staying rooted among older barns and open fields. Inside and out, the building tracks the rhythms of remote work, chores, and quiet evenings outdoors.
