Bell Design Group is a dynamic architecture and design studio, producing creative interventions within our built environment around the world.
ABOUT US
Bell Design Group (BDG) is an architecture and design studio that pursues projects demanding innovative and progressive answers. With experience across a range of project typologies – from studio production campuses to mixed-use housing developments and from hospitality to civic spaces – our approach is centered on creating meaningful experiences.
Whether in a piece of furniture or an urban master plan, our ambitions are to materialize inventive solutions into influential, evocative, and functional design projects. With a measured and competent approach to construction, BDG has produced a body of work that has fused the physical built landscape and the cultural art world in unparalleled methods.
From our groundbreaking designs at Siren Studios to our current explorations, we have relentlessly pursued the development of culturally relative architecture. BDG produces work in the realms of urban design, building design, interiors, rehabilitation, branding, development consulting, and art design commissions. We often collaborate with pioneering artists, consultants, and designers in the development of projects. BDG’s commitment to architectural innovation, design collaboration and construction excellence has been demonstrated in a portfolio of award-winning projects.
PRACTICE VALUES
HONESTY
Be it in honoring the authenticity of a material’s beauty in our designs or in how we engage with our clients, honesty is at the heart of our praxis.
PASSION
Creativity is only as limitless as the passion of the person in its pursuit. Ours runs deep and wide, constantly seeking to challenge our artistic and analytical minds.
SERVICE
Our studio exists to serve our clients and communities. The built environment we create demands attention to the social, cultural, environmental, and economic opportunities for service and justice of those who live, work and play in our buildings.
OUR APPROACH
CLIENT & CONTEXT
At the heart of our ethos is an unwavering commitment to design for the inhabitants of our buildings, with reverence to the communities where they are located. Our design process begins with an informed understanding of the people, places, and contextual fabric that impacts / is impacted by our projects. Our studio’s leaders and designers create through a lens developed by diverse backgrounds (art, literature, engineering, business, hospitality), creating truly relative architecture.
BIM TECHNOLOGY
In our studio, we continually strive to advance and improve our practice with current and efficient technologies. Though our love of pen and paper runs deep, we translate our creative methodology into soundly-designed and intimately-collaborated building plans, developed through 3D BIM software and uniquely developed processes that allow us to resolve architecture, engineering and construction detailing, all before breaking ground.
SUSTAINABILITY
Without a doubt, the design of our cities and the construction of our buildings is a major factor in the sustainability of our environment and our economy. At BDG, we have created a team dedicated to pushing boundaries and elevating the standards of our design impact. We are proud to achieve LEED ratings in many of our projects and to lead the way, like when we installed the first combined greywater/stormwater system in the City of Los Angeles.
