Housing.
We design a world that’s built for good.
The original multidisciplinary house of design.
BDP is a leading, global, multidisciplinary design practice united by a shared purpose: to design a world that’s built for good. For more than 60 years, we’ve been solving problems, creating innovative spaces, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. From the start, we’ve been pioneers in the world of design, and our legacy is built on the meaningful, people-centred places we’ve brought to life.
Our work is rooted in creativity, quality, and collaboration. We believe that great design removes barriers and opens new possibilities, all while meeting the demands of a constantly evolving world. Whether we’re designing homes, workplaces, or public spaces, we always put people at the heart of our thinking, ensuring that the environments we create are not just functional, but also inclusive, beautiful, and socially and environmentally responsible.
We’re proud of the places we’ve shaped and the lives we’ve touched, and we are committed to continuing our mission of designing a better, more connected world –one that leaves every place better than we found it.
Sustainable housing solutions.
We are addressing the global challenges posed by the housing crisis and an aging population by collaborating with clients to design housing at scale, from high-density living in the form of mid-rise and high-rise developments, to masterplanning new communities. Our low-carbon residential designs aim to reduce environmental impact while revitalising neighbourhoods and creating vibrant new communities.
Our process begins by listening to and understanding our client’s design and commercial goals. This insight guides our experts in crafting concept and technical designs that attract potential buyers and renters. No matter the scale, our priority is the residents’ social, cultural, and economic needs.
We design homes with people in mind, focusing on how spaces will be used and improving quality of life. Interior design fosters a sense of home, while architecture and public spaces promote sustainable, healthy living.
Innovation drives our solutions, from adding density to existing buildings to converting industrial sites into sustainable apartments. Each project draws on our creativity, sector expertise, and technical knowledge.
Creating vibrant communities.
Creating communities is at the heart of what we do. We shape cities with purpose, bringing people together, supporting vibrant communities, enhancing quality of life, and paving the way for sustainable futures.
As hands-on urbanists, we tackle masterplanning, urban design, town planning, and landscape projects that confront today’s pressing urban challenges. Whether it’s regions, metropolises, or the
streets that weave our cities together, we operate across all scales, employing a design-led, multidisciplinary approach.
We partner closely with clients and communities to grasp their aspirations, ensuring our designs reflect local contexts. Together, we forge shared visions, turning them into welcoming, inclusive urban spaces that foster a sense of belonging.
With a global network of city studios, we blend local insight with expertise, crafting strategies that are smart, flexible, and resilient.

Collaborative. Creative. Curious.
We believe the best design ideas come from working collaboratively with others. By combining creative thinking, intelligent enquiry, and a deep understanding of context, we’re able to shape places that truly make a difference.
Every day, we challenge ourselves to design a world that’s built for good, to think about our impact on the planet, pushing the boundaries to find sustainable solutions. Our talented teams bring passion and creativity to everything we do, enabling us to create climate-positive spaces where communities can thrive.

Future-ready design.
We future-proof developments with flexible, tech-ready solutions, providing clients with spaces that adapt and maintain value over time.
Urban densification.
Urban densification is vital for sustainable city growth, and our architectural approach embraces this challenge with innovative, effective solutions. As urban populations surge, the need for efficient space utilisation becomes increasingly important.
We specialise in designing high-quality, compact environments that balance density with liveability, ensuring vibrant, interconnected communities. Our intelligent masterplanning integrates mixed use developments and green spaces, creating settings that promote social interaction, wellbeing, and sustainability.
By incorporating efficient transport links, walkable streets, and diverse housing options, we facilitate functional and sustainable urban growth, maximising limited land while preserving quality of life. Our work adeptly addresses the complexities of urban intensification, delivering forwardthinking designs that enhance the urban experience, providing adaptable, future-proof spaces to meet the evolving needs of modern city life.
Adaptive reuse and intensification.
Adaptive reuse and intensification are central to our design philosophy, enabling us to transform existing structures into sustainable, functional spaces while maintaining their unique character. Recognising that the most eco-friendly building is often one already standing, we focus on harnessing this potential through innovative design solutions.
Our approach includes repurposing materials, refurbishing buildings, and reimagining underutilised spaces, significantly reducing embodied carbon and conserving vital resources. This strategy extends the lifespan of structures and revitalises communities by enhancing their connection to heritage.
With expertise across diverse sectors, we apply adaptive reuse techniques to historic landmarks and modern buildings alike, optimising urban sites to accommodate growth. Ultimately, our designs breathe new life into existing environments, fostering vibrant, sustainable spaces that align with contemporary demands and promote a greener future.

Ten urban insights.
An urban renaissance
Urban centres around the world are rediscovering their mojo after years stressing about decline. Urban centres are now seen as drivers of national and regional economies, centres of innovation, learning and business.
The impact of remote work
The pandemic has changed forever patterns of work reducing the need for office space but also affecting other town and city centre businesses reliant on office workers.
The car is no longer king
Many places have found ways to break the stranglehold of the car. Cars will always have their place, but urban areas shouldn’t turn themselves inside out to accommodate ever increasing car use. Instead, they should become walkable, compact and served by public transport.
Technology as a tool not an end
We have been through a decade when smart cities were seen as the solution to urban problems. Whilst there has been a push back over contradictions over what a smart city is and challenges around privacy concerns, technology has the potential to help cities become more efficient, sustainable and liveable. directions_walk
Resilience and flexibility
As urban areas across the world experience challenges associated with changing temperatures, losses in biodiversity, increasing pollution, extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels and social and economic stresses, they need to be prepared.

A net zero world
Within 25 years most countries in the world are planning to be net zero. Urban areas are key to achieving this.
Grey to green and blue
There is a recognition that urban areas can be as, or even more biodiverse than rural areas. This needs to be built into the design of places.
Quality of life is vital
The most successful places are those that can offer the best quality of life and therefore attract and retain talented people. This relates to health and wellbeing air quality, public services and facilities, education, green space, housing and culture along with issues such as openness, diversity and inclusiveness.

Population change
As birth rates fall, and population growth slows, or even goes into reverse, many places will need to address the challenges associated with declining populations as some others adapt to growth.

Cities have always thrived on their greatest asset – people. Those that retain and attract top talent will lead in innovation and generate a cycle of growth. Yet, many cities face challenges like deindustrialisation and population decline. Adapting to postpandemic shifts in workspaces, with a mixed-use approach, will be essential for cities to maintain their economic roles.
Our vision is to create vibrant, resilient cities that balance economic vitality with social and environmental wellbeing.

Golf Estates are a fairly new phenomenon in India. The estates normally tend to be exclusive, repetitive and offer a sterile living environment because they cater largely for only one (the high end) income group. What will set this Golf Estate apart from others, is that the golf living experience will be offered to a wider range of income groups.
“BDP designed the masterplan as a group of urban villages, where strong communities with a sense of belonging can develop. The design has a strong focus on the public realm and the streets, as that is where residents meet and interact.”
Beyond Barriers
Accessibility for all must be considered from the earliest planning stages and throughout the design and development and then beyond. In process we nurture a more empathetic world.
In the realm of barrier free environment, inclusivity transcends mere design of the built and open spaces. It extends to a transformation in mindset, methods, and behaviours. What we create is a reflection of how we create, and assessing the advantages involves gauging the cultural and personal shifts within us.

The brief from the client included maximising the built area, keeping in mind the sensitivity of the site. We developed an active stream landscaped edge for the residents and the office goers.
The site is located on the foothills of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, providing fantastic views of the forest-covered hills and far views of Thane Creek. The contoured site also has a natural water stream, which adds ecological value to the design. The key aspects of design that we have focussed on are :Maximising high-level views of the hills and creek. Building with the contours and connected storm water systems. Creating logical zoning of the site smooth implementation. Managing traffic and parking.

NAMTECH
BDP participated in a prestigious design competition for NAMTECH Campus, envisioning a sustainable, resource-conscious learning environment. The design approach sought to harmonize traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, creating a low-resource, high-impact campus that fosters innovation, skill development, and environmental responsibility.
The campus design was rooted in local mass materiality, employing both emerging and vanishing skills to craft spaces that are not only functional and cost-effective but also imbued with cultural and environmental consciousness.
Inspired by the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—the design aimed to utilize natural resources judiciously, ensuring a minimal elemental footprint while enhancing wellness and sustainability.Through a balance of low-tech vernacular techniques and hightech interventions, the campus was envisioned as a self-sustaining microcosm, where design solutions are driven by a serious assessment of needs rather than excess.

Rush Condos brings a modern twist to Toronto’s King, Spadina area, blending seamlessly into this historic neighbourhood, known for its warehouses and lively street art. This 15-storey, 125-unit development is right at home in the Heritage Conservation District, which focuses on both preservation and urban renewal.
The building provides affordable, central living options and puts residents within easy reach of parks, Lake Ontario, and the St. Andrew’s and Union subway stations, making it easy to get around and enjoy the best of the city.
Rush Condos
The entrance on the ground floor nods to Rush Lane, also known as ‘Graffiti Alley’, by incorporating controlled graffiti, connecting with the neighbourhood’s artistic vibe. The woven red-brick facade references Toronto’s fashion district and gives the building an industrial feel that honours the area’s heritage. The podium block lines up with the street’s scale, while the upper floors step back to allow for light and views, keeping the look inviting and connected to the streetscape.
Rush Condos
Designed with sustainability in mind, Rush Condos maximises its space to reduce its environmental impact. The structure’s mid-rise design respects height limits, ensuring it doesn’t dominate the skyline, while also lowering energy needs, eliminating the requirement for an additional mechanical floor. A green roof adds another eco-friendly layer, offering a natural air filter, reducing stormwater runoff, and supporting local biodiversity.

Residents can enjoy features tailored for urban living, from large windows and balconies to unique additions like oversized bike storage, a car elevator, and even climbing walls. These amenities create a sense of community, and the building’s design supports social connections, blurring the lines between public and private spaces. Art and activity are encouraged in and around the building, showcasing that creativity isn’t confined to galleries, but is part of the everyday cityscape. Rush Condos exemplifies Toronto’s vision of a greener, more connected urban environment. It’s a sold-out success, blending vibrant street culture with modern, sustainable design to create a place that’s as welcoming as it is innovative.

The Weir Mill project in Stockport is breathing new life into a historic site, transforming the former cotton mill into a vibrant mixed use community. Built in the 18th century, this complex is being redeveloped to house 253 apartments across two new buildings, with the original structure reimagined for modern living. The project combines old and new, creating a lively town space while preserving the mill’s heritage.
Weir Mill
The former cotton mill will be refurbished to create spacious two- and threebedroom apartments, alongside 24,000 square feet of commercial space aimed at attracting independent businesses, from cafes to co-working spaces. Weavers Square will introduce a new public area for markets and events, featuring cast-iron columns from the mill’s former weavers’ shed, a nod to the site’s rich industrial past.
The design blends historic architecture with contemporary elements, with the new buildings crafted to complement the Victorian infrastructure around them. This thoughtful regeneration reconnects the community with its history, offering cultural
and environmental benefits and supporting Stockport’s local economy. Residents will enjoy outdoor spaces, including a green courtyard on the west side of the mill, designed as a tranquil oasis amid the bustling town. Developer Tim Heatley of Capital & Centric speaks to the value of preservation: “These buildings have real character, and that requires creative solutions. It’s far more interesting to keep a building and bring it back to life than to tear it down.” His words capture the essence of this £60 million project, turning an historic mill complex into 256 apartments, coworking spaces, and community amenities.
Weir Mill
Weir Mill has witnessed centuries of change. Built near the impressive Stockport Viaduct and River Mersey, this site was part of the region’s booming textile industry, once a powerhouse of British cotton manufacturing. Now, the redevelopment honours this legacy while introducing new architecture and community spaces. Visitors to the area can admire the monumental viaduct up close and explore the new square, where retained cast-iron columns create a unique event space.
Weir Mill’s regeneration isn’t just about preserving a landmark but about reconnecting people with history and creating a sustainable future. The mill, first powered by the River Mersey in 1790, has seen fires, technical advancements, and countless uses over the years. Now, with its vibrant community focus, the Weir Mill redevelopment is a testament to the importance of preserving our past while building for tomorrow.
“Thanks to Stockport’s support, we can not only save Weir Mill, but make it one of the main storylines in Stockport’s next chapter. Weaves Square, a new public space, will create a flexible venue for markets and events, and is located next to the Grade II* listed Stockport Viaduct, giving people the opportunity to experience the scale of the amazing structure up close. ”
