BN+PA is fluent not only in a wide array of residential architectural styles, but also in honing-in on the ideal approach for each client. Our highly customized process encourages you to bring to the table all your loves and hates, your goals, interests, and scrapbooks—tell us how you start your morning and move throughout your space, what annoys you and what brings you joy—and we will exceed your expectations by responding to each concern with incredibly thoughtful designs that bridge and elevate the space between practicality and aestheticism.

We’re also part of a tight network of highly specialized consultants that address both aesthetic concerns like lighting design and landscape architecture, to structural, code compliance, permitting, expediting and more—we have a trusted specialist at our fingertips for every concern that may arise to keep your project moving along on time and on budget.

Whether you’re vying to renovate and add onto an historic home, build a new retirement home in the suburbs, or a second (or third) home at the beach—maybe a glass walled modernist home in the dunes, a multi-generational farmhouse compound, a townhouse or a penthouse—whatever your aspirations in the architectural sphere, whatever the scope of your ask, we’re here to hold your hand, contemplate every nuance, and create the exact space you’ve been envisioning, but better.

The ability to remain impeccably organized is the constant in all successful commercial architectural endeavors. Throughout all our projects—from housing development, to hotels, restaurants, clubs, offices, and themed complexes—we’ve experienced first-hand how everything—from structural integrity and design realization, to staying on budget and on time—hinges on the team’s ability to organize hundreds, even thousands of details. So that organizational infrastructure is where we begin.

From there, we develop the unique character and identity of each project which takes into consideration the client company’s branding, business goals and target demographics. The way the public will interact with the most important spaces—and the development of a strong sense of brand recognition within an aesthetic that takes its cues from industrial as well as local and regional building traditions—is a careful balancing act. The result is a design that has an impactful brand presence leading to increased business success, yet also feels like it belongs, in relation to the land it sits upon and its surrounding community.

From public and private educational and recreational facilities, to healthcare, utility, and religious structures, BN+PA is well versed in the institutional sphere. We have the experience and capabilities to manage design, programming, preparation of documents, bidding, construction administration, and additional consultative services such as preparation of special reports for county, state, and federal departments, plus assistance with governmental agency reviews (ADA, OSHA, NFPA.)

We pay careful consideration to the building site, its surrounding areas, and the institution’s traditions, whilst establishing technical standards in conjunction with our renowned network of exceptional consulting engineers and specialists including landscape architects, health and food service professionals, lighting designers and cost consultants. We want our work to give institutional clients not just the right plan for the right price, but also a heightened sense of the institution’s unique role within the greater community.
