Creating Placesfor People.BDP designs and creates inspiring places for people. With international teams
of architects, engineers, designers, and urbanists, we work from studios
throughout the UK, and in Ireland, the Netherlands, the UAE, India, and China,
on projects around the world.
Founded in 1961, BDP is now t he largest interdisciplinary design-led firm in
Europe and has won over 750 awards for design quality from international
and national bodies.
Our designers focus on designing buildings and environments for the future
to confront the reality of a finite planet. We challenge ourselves to create
better environments for everybody using five goals as our starting point for
the design process:
to act as climate shapers to create protective and positive environments for
people to enjoy
to take a creative approach to energy, with natural and technological
methods for the use and reuse of energy and resources
to design in a user-inclusive style, engaging in a learning centred approach
with the occupiers of our buildings and places
to cross-fertilise our knowledge from different cultures, maximising the
advantages of being international, interdisciplinary and multi-sector
to promote and create liberating buildings, places and communities for
people to use and adapt over time.

From high profile masterplan-led sports
placemaking projects such as our work
for the All England Lawn Tennis Club
at Wimbledon (AELTC), home to the

BDP has great experience in the design of
buildings for culture.
Over the past decades we have worked
for many of the UKs most revered
cultural institutions including the Royal
Opera House, the Royal Ballet Company,
Royal Albert Hall and National Maritime
Museum. We have also designed highly
successful concert halls, theatres and
museums including Kelvingrove Art
Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, the
UKs most visited museum outsideLondon. Many of these projects involve
the retention and refurbishment of
existing much loved buildings, preserving
and enhancing their character whilst
discreetly adapting them both functionally
and technically, to make them truly fit for
purpose in the 21st century.

enabling it to continue as the home of the
Royal Opera and Royal Ballet companies.
The old foyers and auditorium were
refurbished, and the stage and flytower
rebuilt and enlarged to improve sightlines
and simplify scenery handling. New
dressing rooms and rehearsal facilities
were also constructed for the Royal
Opera and Royal Ballet, together with new
workshops and offices to consolidate the
theatres operations on one site.
Public foyer spaces were also extended,
including the reconstruction of the old
Floral Hall as the principal foyer. In
addition a second smaller auditorium
and the new ballet studios afford greater
opportunity for both companies to present
smaller scale and experimental works.

ventilation system, re-cast acoustics and
new hospitality and bar areas.
Accommodation has been upgraded
backstage for artists and staff, making it
easier to put on a wider variety of shows
and other events in the hall. In addition
new service areas have been created at
basement level to give direct access from
the outside to the stage, kitchens and

Leeds Grand Theatre, Leeds, UK
The Grand Theatre in Leeds was a major
milestone in Victorian theatre building
and is Grade II l isted. Once described
as probably the finest theatre of its
size in Britain the Grands 19th century
facilities no longer met present day
audience expectations and had become
increasingly inefficient.
The works on the theatre involved new
seating, improved sightlines, better
ventilation and enhanced facilities for the
disabled. Backstage, the fly tower and
flying systems were upgraded, with better
storage capacity, dressing rooms and
backstage areas. Three new rehearsal
rooms, separated by a street, connect
to the theatre by a bridge which also acts
as a scenery store with a new s pecialist
lift adjacent.
The project also included the conversion
of the nearby Assembly Room which has
been restored to provide a new 400 seat
venue for music making, showcasing
new talent, orchestral rehearsals and
educational projects.

The redesign of the Neptune Court

which was returned to its original 19th
century condition. This was achieved by
removing poor 20th century additions and
refurbishing all the original facades based
on original drawings. Modern components
inserted into the courtyard, such as the
podium, the bridges at various levels and
the all-glass roof improve circulation and
exhibition space, while respecting the
original architecture. New lifts, stairs,
ramps and bridges, which have been
inserted at the junctions of the courtyard
wings, reconcile the historic level
