What BDG architecture + design does

BDG architecture + design is a London-headquartered, RIBA-accredited architecture and interior design practice operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPP (marketed as 'bdg a Landor Company'). Founded in 1987 and employing 11-50 staff across studios in London (HQ at Sea Containers, South Bank), New York (3 World Trade Center, Dumbo) and São Paulo, the firm delivers architecture, interior design, workplace consultancy and evidence-based design services for enterprise clients undertaking full-building refurbishments and large-scale workspace transformations.

Core technical capability is centred on BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, supported by ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certifications, and a track record of BREEAM and LEED certified project deliveries across the UK, North America, Continental Europe, Brazil and Canada. The firm's evidence-based design process integrates architectural, interior design and workplace strategy expertise, and its product portfolio includes The Flagship, a technology-driven immersive space concept for client brand-experience prototyping.

BDG generates revenue through professional services fees tied to project scope, complexity and duration, with engagements ranging from ~1,300 sqm commercial fit-outs to 250,000 sqft full-building refurbishments. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales — RFPs, senior-level proposals and reputation-led business development — supported by an award-winning project portfolio (BCO, Mixology, FX International, Clio). The firm's customer base is concentrated in large multinational and creative/media enterprises, with WPP representing the single largest relationship through a multi-city global campus transformation programme spanning at least nine international cities.
