Collaboration

In most cases, the best expertise comes from right here in Alaska. Arctic design considerations are unique to the far northwest, and it’s the synergy of local knowledge and disciplinary excellence that leads to successful buildings. BDS teams with Alaska engineers and others specialists who have proven their capabilities on multiple projects over the course of many years.

On larger specialized projects BDS is able to leverage our local knowledge of the unique climatic, geographic, and environmental design challenges of Alaska by teaming with nationally recognized industry-specific leaders like SmithGroup (San Francisco), Research Facility Design Inc. (San Diego), Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects (Portland) and others. Our approach to collaboration provides clients with the best available design services to meet their programmatic needs.

At BDS we pursue long term relationships with firms that appreciate our desire to achieve extraordinary results for design within Alaska’s unique environment.
