OUR TEAM
Founded in 2004, with locations in Marion, IL and Nashville, TN, BHDG is an architecture and interior design firm serving local, state, and federal government clients. We specialize in projects for DoD, healthcare, K–12 public schools, and higher education.
The firm’s success is rooted in long-term client partnerships, a collaborative team-based approach, and a commitment to responsive service.
ARCHITECTURE
Understanding each client’s goals, challenges, and vision establishes the foundation for thoughtful and meaningful design. BHDG approaches each project with purpose and precision, translating those ideas into spaces that respond to context, support function, and reflect each client’s mission. Through careful coordination and attention to detail, that vision is carried from concept through completion, resulting in architecture that serves its purpose and creates a lasting sense of place.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Interior design goes beyond how a space looks as it shapes how people experience, interact with, and function within it. By understanding the needs of each client and imagining the possibilities of each space, BHDG balances aesthetics, comfort, and purpose to create environments that are both functional and engaging. The result is thoughtful, enduring interiors that enhance the experience of the people who use them.
PLANNING
Thoughtful planning establishes the framework for a successful project. BHDG works closely with clients to understand their vision, evaluate opportunities, and organize priorities into a clear path forward. By aligning project goals with functional needs, available resources, and long-term considerations, planning decisions become purposeful strategies that guide both design and future growth.
