Our Studio
BDS is a family-run architectural design studio based in Rochdale, working across Greater Manchester and beyond. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, we specialise in thoughtful residential projects, from home extensions and loft conversions to new builds and full refurbishments.
We combine practical knowledge with design clarity. Every project is approached with care, creativity, and a focus on real-life use, making sure the spaces we create work beautifully for the people who live in them.
Clients come to us for more than just drawings. They stay with us for the calm, professional guidance we offer at every step, from concept to planning, technical detail to build support. Whether it’s navigating planning rules or working closely with builders, we help make the process feel manageable and transparent.
Above all, we believe good architecture doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be well thought out, well-built, and well-suited to the people it's made for.
