25 Years in Practice

From three partners to 120 staff in three cities, our 25th year in practice is a huge achievement. Recent events have been a test for us all, in and out of the office. And so, as we mark this milestone, we thank you for your support. Without the ingenuity and adaptability of our clients, our staff, and our collaborators we wouldn’t be where we are today. Recalling such diverse work over a quarter of a century is nostalgic and somewhat astonishing. To reflect on just some of our work, we’ve picked a few personal favourites...

Looking ahead, we recently announced we've also opened our third studio, in Madrid. BGY Europe is officially on the map and gives us an essential footprint on the continent. While we are proud to consistently deliver memorable and distinctive work in our mainstays London and Bristol, it’s been a great ambition of ours to branch further across Europe. We also recently announced the promotion of Oliver Bayliss to Managing Director and Tina Connell to Operations Director, to strength our leadership team amid significant growth.

Our interior design studio, BGYID, has gone from strength to strength since it launched in 2019 when MD Timothy Shepherd joined our practice.  His team are as diverse as their work: they share curiosity and boundless creativity - backed up by decades of combined knowledge and experience. Together with Creative Director Jane Maciver, Tim is working closely with our clients around the world in navigating how our homes, our workplaces, hotels, and the other places in which we spend time could and should respond to these changing times. 

Our original team of three is now a diverse, international practice working on projects across sectors ranging from new-build housing in Hackney, to major office refurbishments in the City, to luxury hospitality in Mayfair, and boutique retail in Paris. Each project is uniquely designed by our talented team of architects, interior designers, heritage, and sustainability experts who collaborate, share knowledge and inspire one another. They are united by our mission to be agents of opportunity for our clients: to uncover what were once unanticipated possibilities.
