Our Firm - Dean Architecture

Building a better place.

Founded in 1949, Dean Architecture, P.A. is a third-generation, award-winning architectural firm offering professional architecture, planning, interior design, and graphics services. Our firm's service area spread throughout the state during the fifties and expanded into the southeast region in the early eighties. Since then, we have ongoing and completed projects in over 31 states.

Early in 2022, our firm took the opportunity to evolve our brand identity. We have a new look and location, but our philosophy has stayed the same. To be open and frank with our clients in exchanges of information and ideas while exploring creative solutions.

From our office in Ridgeland, Mississippi, we offer comprehensive architectural, planning, interior, and graphic design services to a broad range of clients on various project types. Ultimately, our main objective is to continue working collaboratively with our clients and end users to create usable and functional spaces within the given program, budget, and schedule.

We solve problems, coordinate and manage, and listen to you. We make it make sense.

In other words, we offer a full range of planning and design services. Our dedication to creative ideas and personalized services will lead us to the solution you're looking for and, above all, your project's success.

“As the school has envisioned its future, the architects at Dean Architecture have been able to take that vision and translate it into amazing facilities. Their understanding and knowledge of schools is a strong asset of the firm, but their willingness to listen to our faculty and understand the needs of the institution is what has truly made their work for us exceptional.”

“The College has had a strong working relationship with Mr. Oubre and his firm since the design and construction of the Eagle Ridge Conference Center here on the Raymond, Mississippi campus. The College, and myself, have been nothing but pleased and satisfied with the way that Mr. Oubre and his office have been able to deliver the projects on time and within budget.”

William F. Campbell Energy Conservation and Project Architect, Hinds Community College

Never have I worked with two individuals and their team in a smoother process than with Principal Architect Kenny Oubre and Brad Heath. The attention to details and deadlines has been phenomenal. The civil, mechanical, and electrical teams they assembled have been equally professional and worked in concert on our project.
