BDG architecture + design

About Us

We believe that architecture is most successful when it is able to connect people and spaces, our role is to build those connections.

Creative Culture

We recognise that buildings are foremost about people. We understand that our role as architects, designers and workplace strategists is to design and deliver creative, stimulating spaces for people to thrive in and enjoy.

As an accredited RIBA practice, we are able to successfully demonstrate that our creative vision can co-exist with professional delivery and technical execution - resulting in award winning projects across all sectors.

Award Winning

Recognition for our clients, and for our studio, is important. We participate regularly at industry events and panel discussions as thought leaders on emerging trends and topics within architecture and design.

Our work is often published as case studies on exemplar thinking and creativity regarding strategy and design within the workplace, and we have received numerous awards for our work. Most recently, BDG won a National BCO Award in the "Fit Out of Workplace" category for Dojo in 2022.

Evidence Based Design

Our process of analysing and understanding space, along with the requirements of the user means we bring together architectural, interior design and workplace expertise to provide a strategic and cohesive solution for all projects.

Successful Delivery

We work hard to ensure the right balance is achieved in delivering a stimulating and effective space for your business.

Drawing on our wealth of experience across a wide range of projects, we specify the most appropriate materials and construction methods, with spending prioritised on the areas where it will have the biggest impact for the best value.

Our studio is BIM experienced, and we hold certification, independently assessed, for Quality Management (ISO 9001) and Environmental Management (ISO 14001).
