BDK Architects Information

“Quality in Concept, Design and Detail” Quality First and foremost, we strive to inject everything we undertake with Quality - from the concept, through the design and drawings, down to the smallest detail. This approach drives all we undertake by seeking to provide the best solution for our Client to the highest quality commensurate with their budget, brief and aspirations. Style We believe that buildings ought to provide for the function with the form deriving from and expressing the function - but at the same time possessing delight and responding to the contextual setting of the site. We therefore do not have a ‘house style’ as different settings generate a response with styles that respect their context. As a result our projects have real human scale, with sensitive use of materials, and a wide range of styles. Added Value We add value through careful and creative design, a synthesis of multiple criteria adding up to more than the sum of the parts. We bring a commercial view to our projects that, if needs suggest, extends to recommending alternative solutions or construction methods that can achieve dramatic cost savings. Teamwork Our objective is to get the "job done", fulfilling our Client's brief on time and within budget. We listen and learn from our Client's needs and hopes and then respond by interpretation rather than impose a preconceived solution. Final Objective The ultimate aim is to provide for our Client's operations and enhance them by design, thus achieving a building that is a pleasure to use, giving delight to our Client and to those who view the result. “A wonderful example of exciting and innovative architecture at its very best. The design and materials fit comfortably into what must have been a difficult design brief, while effectively complementing the surrounding area” Robert Tilling, R.A. 2000
