BDK Architects inject quality in concept, design and detail into all their projects in Jersey.
Are you thinking of extending your Jersey home?
Do you want to maximise your space by carrying out some internal alterations?
Do you have a plot of land that has development potential?
You need the right local Chartered Architect to help you realise the opportunity!
With the high cost of property in Jersey, many of us are looking for ways of extending or converting our existing house or perhaps even developing the surrounding land to serve our needs better. BDK Architects are can help you realise the opportunities in your current property.
Extending your Jersey home can be a lot more cost effective than moving house!
BDK Architects are a successful, innovative and award winning Jersey firm that have been involved in many prestige projects including:
- Les Vanniers Apartments (on Victoria Avenue)
- The Jersey Archive
- The Intersport Store in St.Helier
- Jersey General Hospital Daycare extension
We are committed to providing individuals with a first rate, personal service for their own domestic projects - whether a completely new house, an extension, a conversion or simply an alteration. Your project is as equally important to us as the larger projects we undertake.
BDK Architects provide much, much more than two-dimensional designs and drawings. With our ArchiCAD capability, the premier Virtual Building solution, we build your project as a three-dimensional model. From this we can generate:
- photo-realistic virtual reality models
- three-dimensional visuals
- walk-through's of your project
This enables you to comprehend your buildings design and appearance. For Clients unfamiliar with reading two-dimensional drawings this is a real aid to understanding how their project goes together and when built the ultimate appearance. These visuals and images are also an invaluable aid towards gaining Planning Approval.
BDK Architiects recognise a building project represents a very important undertaking to the private householder. We attach the same amount of importance as you do to your needs and objectives. A Senior Architect is directly involved during the project's development to give the expertise and care your project deserves.
We passionately believe that domestic projects benefit from experienced design input - and from our creativity your home can become better than you ever expected!
Costs are important and BDK Architects make no charge for an initial visit or meeting to discuss your project or building needs. During the initial consultation your requirements would be identified, possible options suggested and the development and approvals process would be explained.
The work of BDK Architects is highly commended, as an example our Dessous les Hougues project at L'etacq (see photos to the right of this feature) was highly praised at the Jersey 2011 Design Awards with great comments from the Planning Minister and winning the People's Choice runner-up award.

BDK worked with us on two rennovations, which went very smoothly. They were very professional at all times and I am very pleased the way both listed houses have turned out. Sue C
I have used BDK Architects on rennovating two listed properties. I found them extreemly good at handling all aspects of the jobs. Sue C
BDK Architects have worked with us recently to design a small extension for our property and throughout the process we have found them to be approachable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Overall we have been delighted with the service offered and would not hesitate to recommend them to other potential clients. Mr & Mrs T Watson
I gave BDK Architects the almost impossible task of designing and planning a modern unique glass extension to our Grade I listed home at No 1 Windsor Crescent. Through a mixture of inspirational design, an intimate knowledge of Planning regulations and laws together with a vast knowledge of modern technology and building products, Paul Harding and his team have produced a design brief of outstanding quality to submit to the planning process, which enhances a stately and beautifully proportioned detached house with a stunning 21st century solution for its development, without in any way detracting from or damaging the original structure. Paul and his team are to be congratulated for their interpretation of this difficult brief. Clive Barton
We used BDK Architects and found them to be quick, reasonably priced, creative, great to work with, approachable and with a complete understanding of all Planning and Building Bye Law aspects. We would recommend them for any construction project !
