The Firm
Wilker Design Co.
We thrive in the creative tension between modern methods of construction and enduring design principles that respect local character and craftsmanship.
If you’re a builder, designer, or tradesperson who values thoughtful work, stewardship, and doing things the right way, we’d love to connect as we continue growing our family-owned practice.

J. Ben Wilker
Founder &Â Principal Architect
Ben is a licensed architect and general contractor who believes great architecture is only possible within traditional neighborhoods (rural & urban) that provide a unique sense of place.
Before launching Wilker Design Co., He ran a landscape design-build company focused on community redevelopment during his studies at the University of Cincinnati (DAAP).
Ben and his family now live in rural Northern Kentucky to put down roots — quite literally. When he’s not at the drawing board or on a job site, you’ll find him working on their homestead with his lovely wife and three daughters.
