The Founder is Michael G. Barber - BA(Hons) Design, UWE UK; Cert ED Design, U. Leeds UK; Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Architectural Theory / EDx, Cambridge US -
He has extensive design experience from working in Canada, England and America (New York and California). This creative work has been within a broad range of design disciplines (planning, building design, interiors, lighting, furniture/products, and world exhibitions). All have resulted in BDC being able to offer a comprehensive design team approach. Our services also include: a thorough consult to help identify problems and opportunities; a detailed proposal that includes a project plan with timelines and milestones; along with cost analysis and a realistic design schedule. As needed, we offer a full suite of quality design skills & related services that BDC are able to integrate smoothly into each project.
Our Design Philosophy is that, "Good design is the art of balance. It consists of the sensitive combination of line, composition, harmony, proportion, pattern, texture, colour, honesty with materials, elegance for function, and efficiency in fabrication. It is also the innovative execution of basic principles for sustainability in the design/build process, connecting to the user with meaning and symbolism, while at the same time being inspired from the very depths of our cultural soul..."
