At BDE Architecture, we believe housing is more than a building—it’s stability, safety, and belonging. That’s why we proudly served as a Gold Sponsor for the 2025 HIF Summit, where $820,000 was raised to support families in crisis and strengthen homes. A special thanks to Jeff D. Brink, PE, SE, LEED AP of DCI Engineers for joining BDE’s table, whose presence highlighted the collaborative spirit that defines HIF’s mission.

BDE Architecture had an amazing time wrapping up 2024 with fun, game-themed holiday celebrations! The San Francisco office traveled across the bay to Oakland for a festive time filled with shuffleboard, ping pong, and arcade games, all accompanied by great company and laughter. Meanwhile in Chicago, the BDE Team celebrated at Flight Club, enjoying darts, food, and drinks while spreading holiday cheer with one another. From all of us at BDE, we wish you and yours a joyful and memorable 2024 holiday season!
Autumn is officially here! Our ‘BDEats’ Employee Network Group recently hosted a Fall Potluck to celebrate the season, and it was a fantastic way to come together. Sharing a meal quickly turned into exchanging recipes, cooking tips, and discussing our favorite fall activities. It was wonderful to pause our busy day and enjoy this time together as a team.
BDE participated in the Annual LEAP Sandcastle Competition hosted on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, CA. This year's theme was "out of this world" . BDE, in partnership with BUILD Group, DCI Engineers, and students from DeMarillac Academy, connected two worlds with a space-sand bridge.
It was wonderful to attend last week's Bisnow Northern California Multifamily Housing Conference and hear BDE's principal, Ian Murphy, speak about how to navigate project success amidst market volatility. What a great morning of connecting and learning. Looking forward to future Bisnow events!
