At BHD we want designing & building a custom home to be a delightfully personal, stress-free, and empowering journey.

We bring thought, relevance and style to our forward-thinking clients.

Working as an independent studio, we act as both a strategic and creative partner to our clients. Guided by our 6-step process we strive to ensure our clients always feel confident, empowered, and inspired from the very first conversation to the day they walk into their new homes.

As a small, innovative, and dynamic studio we adapt quickly to our equally dynamic clients.

We believe magic happens when we combine processes with imagination.

01. Inception

We’ll discuss everything from budget to location, requirements, and timeline and appraise the details for proposal creation.

02. concept & design

Once the details are ironed out and we’ve solidified the concepts and quote we move into the design - rendering your vision in 3D and bringing on board our external specialists.

03. technicalities

While we sometimes wish the process was all creativity and design, there are vital technical steps that need to be taken - we’ll handle the council, documentation, and specifics.

04. development & construction

We’ll oversee the execution of the project by our building partners and ensure there is design integrity throughout, and ensure you have everything you need in line for living in your new home.
