This year is a special one for the business as we celebrate 30 years within the industry and as part of this BDG Design would like to introduce our new company logo, something which has a nod to the past but also evolves with the modern times.

Moving forward we also have two new associate directors Russell G**k & Alex Wells alongside director Gareth Bayliss and the wider team working on some exciting projects.

We’re all looking forward to seeing how BDG evolves over the next 30 years!

With thanks to the team at RF Design UK Limited for their help with the logo.

πŸ“Œ Wickford, Basildon

In 2016, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Keepmoat on a residential project in Wickford, Essex. The site comprised 24 homes, on a tight site between the A132 Golden Jubilee Way and Radwinter Avenue.

One of the notable challenges we faced was the design of the timber framing and its details. Working closely with the client and manufacturer, by incorporating their feedback it ensured that every home reflected the project's vision. This resulted in a blend of friendly feeling aesthetics across the site with a splash of rendered units dotted within. This blend of contemporary design now provides an excellent living experience for the residents.

πŸ“Œ Brentwood, Essex

BDG Design had the privilege of working with Bellway Homes on the challenging Mascalls Park project which was completed in 2020. We were appointed to produce working drawings for a steeply sloping site with a level difference of almost 20 meters from front to back working in conjunction with other consultants.

Given the unique challenges presented by the steeply sloping site, we worked closely with Bellway Homes to ensure that the site was practical, functional, and aligned with their vision for the development.

The underbuild design incorporated into the plots proved to be a necessary addition to the development, allowing us to maximize the site's potential while providing a high-quality living space for the residents.

This was a development that accounted for the site's topography and provided a high-quality living space for the residents. Looking back, we are proud of what we achieved on the Mascalls Park project and are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on this development.

πŸ“Œ Runwell, Essex

Starting back in 2015, BDG Design was involved in the development of a mixed housing project on behalf of Countryside Partnerships. Located in Runwell, Essex, this was the 2nd of 5 phases totalling 604 dwellings. This project consisted of 99 privately owned houses and 54 affordable housing units. We were involved in every stage from planning to working drawings.

Our client's objective was to create quality, private and affordable housing to meet the needs of a growing community. The privately owned houses were designed with spacious living areas, bedrooms, and kitchens that were both functional and energy efficient. The affordable housing units were carefully designed to maximise space and comfort while still being affordable.

Throughout the project, we worked closely with Countryside Partnerships to ensure that the project progressed smoothly.

The project was a success and provided much-needed housing to the community. Our team takes pride in contributing to this project and designing buildings that are both beautiful and functional.

Our use of 3D software to produce accurate designs.

At BDG Design, we excel in producing high-quality 3D Revit drawings, allowing us to create accurate and detailed models of our designs. This enables us to transform our clients' ideas into immersive visual representations, providing an accurate sense of scale and spatial relationships.

The benefits of 3D Revit models extend beyond the design process. They enable us to communicate more effectively with contractors and engineers, streamlining the construction process and ensuring a seamless transition from design to build.

Our proficiency in Revit allows us to provide our clients with a superior level of service and deliver high-quality projects efficiently and accurately.

Topic "deep-dive" - Building design and impacts on people.

During recent CPD seminars within the office, we have learned that building design and orientation can have a significant impact on the health of people who use them. Research shows that factors like natural ventilation, sunlight exposure, and outdoor access are important for promoting health and well-being.

Good ventilation and air quality are crucial for respiratory health, while access to natural light can promote better sleep patterns. Buildings near green spaces can provide opportunities for exercise and fresh air, which are important for physical and mental health. Access to essential amenities like healthcare services and grocery stores can reduce the need for public transportation, improving overall health outcomes.

Here at BDG Design, we attend seminars and demonstrate a commitment to ongoing learning and development into topics such as these. Networking with other companies to expand our knowledge and skills.

If you have a CPD on offer or know anyone that does, then get in touch so we can expand our networks!

97 High Street, Colchester. -

Looking back at our old architectural projects is always a fascinating experience. We get to see how far we've come as a company, and we can appreciate the unique challenges and successes of each project. Today, we want to take a trip down memory lane and revisit one of our most exciting projects from 2011.

The project in question was a commercial/residential building that we designed that's based here in Colchester. The client came to us with a need for a modern, functional space that would serve as a cafe on the ground floor and residential units on the floors above. They wanted a building that would create a welcoming atmosphere for their visitors and homeowners alike.

To help visualize the design, Phil Taylor in our office created CGIs of the building. These computer-generated images showed the building from various angles, allowing the client to see how the design would look in real life. The CGIs helped us fine-tune the design and make adjustments before construction began.

The building which overlooks castle park continues to serve its purpose to this day.

Looking back on this project, we can see how much we've grown as a company. We've taken on bigger challenges, learned new techniques, and embraced new technologies. But one thing remains constant: we are committed to creating exceptional drawing packages that meet and exceed client expectations.

We're proud of what we accomplished all the way back in 2011, and we're excited to see what the future holds here in 2023.

Thank you for taking the time to revisit this project with us. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
