About Us
Our
Studio
We are a collaborative architectural studio designing beautiful and functional spaces that are rooted in context and crafted with intention for each client. That means we are a catalyst, elevating each client’s vision and unique architectural narrative by showing them ideas beyond their imagination in terms of aesthetics, performance and endurance
We believe that every project should start from a blank slate. That means we approach each client without any preconceived notions about what we’ll conceptualize and design for them. With this as our ethos, our work is able to respond directly to the context and performative aspect of each client’s wishes. Working from that foundation, we’re able to focus our attention on telling architectural stories and imagining how our designs can change the way they’re experienced on a day-to-day basis.
Our Guiding
Principles
We have four pillars that lay the foundation for our approach, our work, and our capabilities. They are our North Star and serve to guide every facet of every project. We also consider them integral to the success of each project.
Our
Team
We are a team of passionate architects and designers, with experiences that bridge design, construction, and fabrication. We believe in collaboration, listening first, and deeply enjoying the creation of meaningful – and even emotional – designs.

We don’t just design, we design holistically
— considering the interconnectedness of
all elements.
Our architectural studio is a collaborative environment with a diverse makeup of professionals, including architects, designers, general contractors, fabricators, and more.
Our team believes architecture is more than a set of plans to build from – it’s an opportunity to create intrinsic value between you, your site and the physical space we’re building.
Architecture
Planning & Feasibility
An often overwhelming step for first-time property owners, we help you navigate this phase to ensure we lay the foundation for a successful project.
We believe interior design is inseparable from architecture — this scope can range from choosing interior surfaces to specifying furniture and can be tailored to fit the individual needs of your project.
Interior Design
At bld, we offer architect-led design-build, meaning we will engage a contractor on your behalf who will take your input to create an all-star team to bring your project to life.
Design Build
From custom doors, windows and staircases to massive interactive sculptures and structural installations, this is where our unbridled creativity really shines. learn more.
