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.
Iconic inclusive venues.
Our specialist design consultancy, BDP Pattern has a global reputation for designing stadia and sporting venues. All our projects aim to showcase the best in sporting action and create a positive legacy for local communities.
By designing with our clients, we can create innovative, culturally inspired, financially sustainable spaces that respect the planet. We think about everything – from before the game starts to after it ends. Our goal is to deliver technical excellence and a sense of theatre.
Our specialist team are experts in designing distinct stadia with innovative, parametric designs. We use analysis and computation to assist us with creating the best conditions for athletes. For spectators, we enhance the drama of the sporting experience by considering sightlines, acoustics, climate, safety, audio, branding, and connectivity. We design to bring people together to share their passion for sport!
Seven key sector trends.
energy_program_saving
Sustainable design.
Introducing a range of sustainable design features such as rainwater harvesting, solar collectors, and a state-of-the-art low energy lighting system, will allow a facility to be sustainable for the future – not only benefitting the environment, but also enhancing the health and well-being of its users.
accessibility_new
People-centred placemaking and inclusion.
Designing for inclusion ensures that all individuals, regardless of ability, background, or status, can fully participate and enjoy the experience. Inclusive design is about creating environments that are welcoming, accessible, and equitable for everyone.
Applying the latest thinking and innovation in inclusive design, will ensure everyone feels they belong and can fully enjoy the experience.
Technology integration.
Incorporating the latest technologies is crucial to transforming the functionality of venues and elevating the fan experience. Designers are reimagining sporting venues by integrating gamification and digital overlays as essential design elements, seamlessly blending them into the architecture and viewing areas. This approach creates innovative, disruptive experiences that redefine how fans engage with the action and interact with the venue. devices
Hospitality and revenue generation.
Consideration for the right mix of spaces and amenities for fans, hospitality and the public will impact the time that customers are at the venue and ensure they keep coming back, giving the best possible return for investors.
By offering differentiated hospitality tiers, venues can enhance profitability, increase fan engagement and improve the overall event experience.
Major events and legacy.
Sporting venues leave a positive, enduring mark on the cultural and economic landscape, enriching the community for generations to come.
Designing for big sporting events, can have a transformative impact on grassroots sports by providing infrastructure, and opportunities that benefit local communities after the event concludes. workspace_premium
cycle
Reuse.
Reusing existing venues significantly reduces the carbon footprint and resource consumption associated with new builds. Other benefits included lower construction, operational and maintenance costs.
When a venue is reused, it continues to serve the local community. Over time they can build historical and cultural significance, becoming iconic landmarks.
Fan experience.
Sport generates strong emotions and identity for communities. The magic and folklore inherent to sports teams and their grounds carries great influence. Modern sports venues need to amplify these traits, placing spectator experience at the forefront.
Sightlines, acoustics, climate, safety audio and branding and connectivity can all heighten the excitement and comfort experience. person
Design and delivery.
Using advanced computational design, parametric modelling, and BIM, we explore countless design iterations to craft the complex, iconic forms that define highperformance sports venues.
Our process, powered by Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), streamlines fabrication and assembly, delivering smarter, faster, and more sustainable outcomes. With a data-driven approach, we offer our clients and collaborators benefits that are real and measurable:
▪ Live engagement with evolving designs through 3D modeling, VR, and AR.
▪ Precise budgeting with accurate quantities and schedules, ensuring cost certainty.
▪ Risk reduction for contractors and fabricators with precision data, avoiding costly coordination errors.
▪ Design optimisation to minimise waste and lower fabrication costs.
▪ Seamless collaboration across all disciplines, reducing the chance of errors or clashes.
▪ Our method isn’t just about designing buildings – it’s about creating efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions that deliver results from start to finish.
Climate change and refurbishment.
We’re rethinking the way sports venues are designed to minimise environmental impact from the ground up. By mastering building geometry and architectural concepts, we optimise solar incidence, airflow, rain protection and daylight levels for a project’s location and climate to create the ultimate sporting experience.
We push the boundaries with advanced computational design, parametric modelling, and BIM, allowing us to explore endless design possibilities. This ensures that our sports venues aren’t just functional –they’re iconic and high-performing, built to meet the demands of modern sport and entertainment.
We don’t just accept tradition; we challenge it. In the Middle East, we questioned the conventional practice of replicating European drip-line roofs in desert
stadiums. Our solution at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium – an innovative sunshade roof –improved spectator comfort, created a better atmosphere, and promoted healthier turf grass growth.
For the Mosaic Stadium in the Canadian prairie, we debunked the idea that only a costly retractable roof could handle extreme weather. Instead, we introduced a “smart roof” that shields fans from cold winds in winter while welcoming cool breezes in summer – a solution tailored to the local climate and budget.
Our approach to question the fundamentals for every project has led to a proven track record of delivering better spectator experience and functionality in more cost-effective venues.
Year round revenue generation.
Sports and entertainment venues must do more than just host events – they need to deliver unforgettable experiences that keep visitors coming back and deliver maximum returns for investors. Hospitality and cuttingedge technology are essential for boosting revenue. We’ve partnered with Europe’s top clubs to analyse, enhance, and maximise their income streams.
But fan expectations are always evolving, and so is the way they experience sports. Our approach goes beyond designing simple stadiums – we create destinations. By analysing markets, fan groups, and facilities, we build places that draw people in and keep them engaged long after the final whistle.
Success hinges on understanding local markets and the latest trends. We collaborate with stakeholders to design the perfect blend of spaces and amenities, ensuring fans stay longer, spend more, and return again and again.
At the New Everton Stadium, we have designed 14 unique offers that range from a super-premium Tunnel club to a GA plus market style grab and go offer. This flexible strategy gives fans more choices, allowing them to shift between experiences as their needs change. We also focused on increasing dwell time, encouraging fans to arrive early and stick around post-game, turning matchday into a full experience, not just a 90 minute event.
Our approach keeps fans engaged, boosts revenue, and makes venues the go-to destinations they were meant to be.
Every design tells a story.
All year round destination.

Developments / Lancashire County Cricket Club
The redevelopment of Old Trafford Cricket Ground has turned an iconic venue into one of the UK’s finest sporting destinations. With more than 25,000 seats now available, including 15,000 permanent ones, the ground offers a first-class experience for all spectators.
Lancashire County Cricket Club
This phased redevelopment, which we commenced in 2005, blends innovative design with a respect for the club’s history and a commitment to sustainability. One of the first major changes was re-orientating the cricket square from east-west to north-south, ensuring bad light no longer interrupts play.
Lancashire County Cricket Club
This shift balanced hospitality and hotel spaces to the north, with new grandstands and the Players’ and Media Centre south.
Lancashire County Cricket Club
The restoration of the mid-1800s pavilion remains at the heart of the redevelopment, preserving Old Trafford’s heritage.
“We have worked closely with the club to ensure the design strikes the right balance between the new state of the art sporting venue we have been creating progressively and the real emotional attachment many people understandably have to the old pavilion.”
— Gavin Elliott, Principal, Architect, Head of Sport and Head of Manchester Studio, BDP.

Major additions include The Point, an events venue with panoramic pitch views, and a state-of-the-art Players’ and Media Centre. The west side now boasts a large, flexible space ideal for concerts and festivals, further expanding Old Trafford’s capacity. The ground can now host more than 250,000 people for summer concerts, highlighting its versatility beyond cricket.
Lancashire County Cricket Club
The final phase, the Red Rose Project, is a collaborative effort with Trafford Council to complete the eastern section of the ground. It includes a new grandstand, 100 additional hotel rooms, a pitch-side function space, and a visitor attraction with a museum and shop. A new entrance connects Old Trafford Metrolink station to the cricket ground and Manchester United’s Theatre of Dreams.
Lancashire County Cricket Club
Sustainability has been a priority from the outset. The Point earned a Gold Rating from the Green Business Tourism Scheme thanks to its eco-friendly features. New cycle parking, improved public transport access, and sustainable building materials demonstrate a commitment to reducing the venue’s environmental impact.
Lancashire County Cricket Club
This transformation of Emirates Old Trafford cements its status as one of the UK’s leading cricket grounds and an enduring landmark for British sport and entertainment.
“Lancashire Cricket Club is committed to ensuring Emirates Old Trafford is one of the best places in the world to watch and play cricket, both at a domestic and international level and the new stand, which includes a pitch-view suite, enhances the facilities for Lancashire Members. It transforms that area of the ground and makes Emirates Old Trafford one of the largest cricket stadiums in the country.”

Everton Football Club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, Liverpool, is more than just a place for football – it’s a key part of the city’s regeneration.
Designed by BDP Pattern and MEIS Architects, this 52,000 seat stadium will provide farreaching benefits to both the club and the community.
Everton Stadium
Bramley-Moore Dock is being reimagined as Everton’s future home, blending the area’s industrial heritage with modern design. Inspired by the ‘brick box’ warehouses nearby, like the Tobacco Warehouse, the stadium honours the dock’s history while offering a bold new vision. The project also celebrates the dock’s rich history by preserving original heritage features, such as railway lines, cobblestones, and the Grade II listed Hydraulic Engine House. Everton’s new stadium shows how adaptive reuse of a historic site can bring new life to a community while respecting its past.
“We are going to an astonishing new stadium that will bring our fans and their children – and their children’s children – the kind of joy throughout the next century that we have all shared in Liverpool.”
— Bill Kenwright OBE, Chairman, Everton Football Club.
Everton Stadium
The project isn’t just about football; it’s a catalyst for change in the city. With the potential to boost the local economy by £1bn and create 15,000 jobs, it’s a vital part of Liverpool’s ongoing transformation. The stadium will attract more than 1.4 million visitors annually, drawing fans and tourists alike to this scenic riverside location. The new Mersey River Walk will connect the stadium to Liverpool Waters, providing a stunning route for matchday fans and visitors.

The new stadium will not only serve as a world-class home for Everton FC but will also offer a public space for all to enjoy, opening up the waterfront for the first time in generations. This is a project that goes far beyond football, leaving a lasting legacy for the club and the city.
“What excites me most about Everton Stadium is urban regeneration. The very fine docks and surrounding warehouses are largely unused and closed to the public and it reminds me, very much, of when I first went to Eastlands in Manchester in 1998. I hope and believe that the ripple event of Everton’s new home in that location will be transformational to the waterfront and city as a whole.”

The new Dalian stadium is a modern and iconic landmark in a major city and seaport in the south of Liaoning Province. A complete masterplan by BDP Pattern has delivered a community sports park featuring outdoor training pitches that support youth academies, active travel routes and public realm areas. These features make the facility a major public destination and tourist area on the waterfront.
Dalian Suoyuwan Stadium
The design was inspired by the stadium’s unique location and the rich maritime history of the waterfront region. It is the first part of a wider redevelopment called City Marina Park, which is set to include an extension to the local metro line and the construction of an under-sea tunnel which will connect the new development to Central Dalian.
Dalian Suoyuwan Stadium
Reclaiming industrial land to the west of the port, the design enhances the idea of sporting architecture as a form of art. The dynamic facade evokes cascading waves and shimmering seashells in three interlocking forms and at night, the stadium is a spectacle of lighting with LEDs projecting dramatic light shows off the sweeping building form.
Initial sketches inspired by shell structures.
Dalian Suoyuwan Stadium
“There has been a huge amount of complex and clever engineering in this project to build a stadium that met the brief, while staying true to BDP Pattern’s vision.
The use of an all-electric heating system with low carbon air source heat pumps, combined with energysaving lighting throughout means the stadium is very efficient in operation.”
— Rob May, Partner, Buro Happold.
Environmental design
▪ A cable roof system and tensile fabric facade delivered significant carbon savings.
▪ Utilised non-uniform water demand at different periods of the day and night, as part of the pitch irrigation strategy.
▪ An all-electric heating system utilised 25 low carbon air source heat pumps.
▪ The intensity of the airflow within the stadium bowl was assessed for aerothermal comfort-regulating effect in warm climates.

Dalian Suoyuwan Stadium
A double helix ramp spirals up the facade, creating a walking route from the podium to the roof, to provide spectators with breath-taking views of Dalian Bay. The practical design approach balanced the minimisation of construction costs and reduced the embodied carbon of the structure, while ensuring the stadium would stand the test of time.
For spectators, the stadium creates an intense atmosphere and delivers fantastic sightlines, where fans feel closer to the action than in any other stadium in the country. The stadium is now home to Chinese Jia League side, Dalian Youngboy F.C.
