The BDG Studio

Bell Design Group is an enclave of distinct, diverse and creative professionals, celebrated through holistic collaboration. From our firm’s inception, our designers, architects and administrators have come from around the world via birth or heritage. We treasure the multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary environment which the collective of shared experiences brings to our designs, bettering our ability to create relevant and empathetic architecture.

Further, our leadership and staffing model are based upon an immersive pedagogy. Our teams are fully engaged in project dialogue and we strive to provide hands-on mentorship, curating a studio of well-rounded architects and designers. Not only does this approach produce more informed and creative architecture, but it sets the stage for a practice of ideas and not of egos. It is, also, inherently more fun.
