BSBG's concept design studio is a dynamic, collaborative team of design architects guided by principles defined by Group Design Director, Michael Lewis. 

The +studio design ethos is founded upon the creation of authentic design-led experiences that positively influence and impact upon people. Our designers have a raw, infectious enthusiasm for crafting meaningful spaces, combined with the confidence to design expressively, intuitively, and not always in a way that is customary. 

Our focus on the use of space is resolute; understanding how people react to spaces, and the emotive connection people have to architecture, materials, colours and textures. The duty of care we put into design helps people feel connected to our projects, which naturally become memorable destinations that people are instinctively drawn to. This is testament to the time we invest in perfecting every component of the scheme. Our belief is that the best projects are those that pay attention to the details. Designs that have this focus will survive and enjoy enduring popularity, because they are crafted beautifully, with thought and reason. 

There are many layers to creating a design that engages with people. Each project has its own context, and for us these layers are interchangeable depending upon the design aspiration. We have a responsibility to sculpt an architectural response, daring to create something outside the realms of what is generally accepted, but definitively based on the same principles of producing outstanding spaces. 

We are aware of our responsibility as designers. We understand that we’re not delivering a solution for a point in time, we are sculpting a space for people, the legacy of which goes beyond the scope of the brief. Our reputation is based on our ability to deliver emotive, flexible designs which provide value not only during the construction stage, but long after they are delivered. We design for the life cycle. This multi-faceted process considers the commercial response, the flexibility of the space; understanding that the building use may evolve with time, and facilitating that.

Our reputation as an executive architect stems from continuously demonstrating that we understand how to build best-in-class architecture; how to maintain design intent while adhering to authority regulations, and deliver efficient, value-driven and high-quality final products for our clients. 

In the executive architect role, we immediately assume ownership of the project, managing and overseeing each stage of the design process, from concept through schematic and detailed design. We direct and coordinate the design teams and consultants across disciplines, ensuring collaboration between all parties, and finally producing first-class packages of information that guarantee the project can move forward seamlessly.

It is a tribute to our unique depth of design understanding, combined with strong technical and BIM expertise, that we have successfully collaborated with some of the world’s most celebrated design studios, such as Zaha Hadid Architects, United Network Studio Architects (UNS), and Foster + Partners, to deliver the design packages for several highly prestigious and complex projects.
