Every great project starts somewhere...

Sometimes it's a sketch. Sometimes it's a conversation. Sometimes it's simply standing on a site imagining what could be.

Before plans become reality, every successful project starts with an idea, and that's our favourite part.

If you've got ideas for your property, we'd love to help you explore them.

As summer draws to a close, many homeowners begin looking ahead.

Perhaps you've spent the warmer months wishing for a bigger kitchen, a brighter living space or a garden that works better for entertaining. Now is the perfect time to start turning those ideas into plans.

Beginning your project in autumn gives you time to explore design options, navigate the planning process and be ready to move forward when the time is right.

Whether you're considering a home extension, a bespoke new build or a landscape transformation, we're here to help you explore what's possible.

Every successful project starts with exploring the options.

For this Cotswolds barn development, we worked through a range of layouts to find the best solution for both the client and the site. From guest accommodation and wedding facilities to access routes, parking and the wider landscape, every element was carefully considered before a preferred design was developed.

At BHD Design, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We take the time to test ideas, challenge layouts and refine concepts, giving our clients the confidence to choose the solution that works best for their vision, budget and future plans.

It's this collaborative process that transforms great ideas into exceptional places.

Thinking about your own project? We'd love to help explore the possibilities.

Proudly designing across Whitby, the North York Moors and beyond.

24/08/2026

Whilst BHD Design is proudly based in Whitby, our projects have taken us much further afield.

Over the years, we've worked on a wide variety of residential, commercial and landscape projects across North Yorkshire and beyond, with completed schemes in Guildford, Sheffield, Plymouth and at Reed Studio, alongside many closer to home. Our portfolio ranges from bespoke homes and commercial developments to public buildings and thoughtfully designed landscapes.

No matter where a project is located, our approach remains the same: listening to our clients, exploring creative design options and delivering practical solutions that stand the test of time.

Whether your project is in Whitby, the North York Moors or further afield, we'd love to help bring your ideas to life.

Born and bred local. Designed for the future.

This week we were excited to see the bottom bar at The Dolphin in 'Bay reopening after a marvellous refurbishment.
The colours pack a punch and the recently revealed stained glass windows (that have been covered up for years), look stunning from inside.

Gareth helped with the planning on this heritage asset (a Grade II Listed Building in the heart of the Robin Hoods Bay Conservation Area).

Local knowledge. Creative thinking. Professional design.

Could this be one of our most inspiring projects yet?

There's something special about stepping into a building with so much history, character and potential.

We're excited to be exploring the possibility of working on a project that could help breathe new life into a beautiful church by creating a welcoming café space for the community.

Projects like these are about much more than drawings and planning applications. They require a thoughtful approach that respects the building's heritage while carefully considering how it can be adapted for modern use.

It's exactly the kind of challenge we enjoy, finding creative solutions that preserve a building's character while helping it serve future generations.

We're looking forward to seeing where this project takes us and hope to share more as it progresses.

Have a project in mind? Whether it's a historic building, a family home or a commercial space, we'd love to hear your ideas.

Every home tells a story, and this stunning new build on Ruswarp Lane, Whitby is no exception.

Working closely with the client and Neil, this bespoke home was designed to make the most of its incredible setting, with carefully framed views across the Esk Valley, the iconic viaduct and Whitby Abbey beyond.

The client has a real passion for contemporary design and high-quality materials, often choosing features well ahead of the latest trends. The result is a striking home that's full of character, cleverly balances privacy with panoramic views, and is a real eye-catcher on Ruswarp Lane.

It was a pleasure to revisit the completed project and see what was achieved through creativity, collaboration and thoughtful design.

Thinking about your own bespoke home? We'd love to hear your ideas.

Meet Gareth 👋

Gareth started his architectural journey with BHD back in the early 2000s.

Over the years he's worked on schools, hospitals, commercial developments and homes across Yorkshire and beyond. But ask him his favourite projects... and he'll often say it's the family extension that completely changes how people live in their home.

For Gareth, good design isn’t about making things bigger or more expensive. It’s about making spaces work harder, feel better, and suit people’s lifestyles. That’s the thinking he brings to every project.

Helping local homes and businesses realise their potential.
