Services
Established in 1983 as a residential architecture firm, we have evolved into a multi-disciplinary team covering the full range of residential and commercial architecture, and structural and civil engineering.
Listen to our story, and meet the key individuals who have transformed BDN into a successful, award-winning, unique business.
We purchased our first company computer in 1988.
Purchased second hand from Halfords Head Office, the computer was the same size as a modern-day small car!
This was solely used to work on our projects with Halfords, as other clients at the time didn't operate with computers.
We are an award-winning and bold architecture and engineering firm with strong roots in Sunderland.
We use our years of functional and aesthetical experience to challenge traditional architecture to further develop the ways it can be used, and ultimately impact our society for good.
We build amazing spaces!
Working with clients, listening to your brief, your needs and requirements, and turning concepts into reality.
In our 40 years of service, BDN has transformed, and culturally, we have developed into an innovative, forward-thinking business.
We are a Royal Institute of British Architects Chartered Practice and have a large team of RIBA and Architects Registration Board accredited architects.
We have extensive experience throughout our specialist sectors, leading projects from conception to completion.
The architectural side of BDN began with the design and construction of a three bedroom detached Dutch style bungalow situated on Birchfield Road in Thornhill, Sunderland.
The project won multiple local awards for its modern design, which led to BDN becoming known for it's bespoke housing commissions.
We are passionate about the built environment and strive to be involved in projects for the long haul and to build lasting relationships with clients.
We have vast experience working on all forms of residential projects from new-build housing schemes to renovation/conversions of existing buildings for residential use.
Visionary design and innovation are coupled with an intuitive understanding of space, and how people respond to the environment around them, with stunning results.
Our residential projects allow us to express our more creative design abilities, producing high quality architecture that aids in defining the Northern landscape.
Our commercial projects are highly varied, from small, bespoke retail units in the heart of Durham, to huge warehouses and industrial facilities of well-known companies.
Here is where form meets function, showcasing our ability to effectively deliver our Client's specific needs, as well as produce visually appealing architecture in a commercial setting.
For the first 10 years of trade, we held a strong niche in the retail sector of the construction industry, delivering a number of major construction projects for national retailers including B&Q and Halfords.

Report
I recommend this architect's practice to deliver your brief and exceed your expectations. We have worked with them on a beautiful, new extension and also on a smaller project for internal renovation to the old house. They are friendly, reliable and a pleasure to work with, taking the stress out of the rules and regulations of the planning and building process.
