Our Practice Areas
Our Portfolio
highlights our adeptness in tailoring design solutions to fulfill clients’ distinct needs, ultimately enriching the experiences of space users. At BDG Architects, we uphold ethical standards, prioritize client success, and maintain a steadfast dedication to design excellence.
The traditional role of an Architect typically starts after a Client has acquired a site, but we find that engaging with the Client’s Real Estate Team before acquisition helps avoid potential issues and clearly defines responsibilities between the Client, Landlord, and Development Team. Today’s Clients seek full-service firms capable of managing projects from site acquisition through to certificate of occupancy, and our team is structured to fulfill that role seamlessly.

3D Printed Models
DIGITAL DESIGN
We use 3D printing to create detailed physical models for client and community workshops, providing a clear understanding of scale, proportion, and design context. This hands-on approach supports better design decisions early in the process.
3D Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning ensures accurate site documentation, speeding up the design process and improving collaboration for better results.

Artificial Intelligence
AI enhances the architectural design process by optimizing workflows, conducting datadriven site analysis, and facilitating parametric design. It also improves energy efficiency and construction planning through simulations and predictive analytics.
BIM Collaboration

Computational Fluid Dynamics
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a tool in our BIM workflow that simulates how fluids move and distribute in and around buildings and spaces. It can be used to model the movement of air and temperature within a space or around a site, helping to inform the design and assess how a space will perform under specific conditions. CFD assists with a variety of design decisions, including ventilation, thermal comfort, wind speeds and turbulence, and gas dispersion. BDG utilizes CFD for parking garage ventilation and exhaust dispersion studies, interior space HVAC air distribution and thermal comfort, as well as wind tunnel simulations for site and rooftop occupant comfort analysis.
BDG Architects utilizes Building Information Modeling (BIM) to integrate the collaboration of architects, engineers, and trades. This leads to time, cost, and frustration savings during construction by streamlining the coordination of all project elements.
