We’re hiring.

Project Architects and Project Interior Designers

This role is for project-level architects and interior designers, not entry-level positions.

You should be comfortable owning a project end-to-end — from Schematic Design through documentation and coordination — including making decisions, coordinating consultants and suppliers, and delivering complete drawing sets with minimal supervision.

If you’re ready for responsibility, we’d like to see your work.

A legacy, renewed.

Swipe ➡️ to see the transformation.

The renovation of the Belo Medical Group Philippines Alabang Clinic was conceived as more than a cosmetic update—it was an opportunity to breathe new life into one of the country’s pioneering flagship beauty clinics.

Rather than erase its past, Studio BDJ embraces the juxtaposition of old and new. Working within the existing framework, a sculptural architectural veil softens the façade while giving it renewed identity and presence.

Inside, gentle curves, sculpted stone, warm lighting, and muted tones replace the rigidity of traditional clinical spaces—transforming the clinic into a calm, lounge-like environment that feels homey yet refined.

Every layer—from architecture to bespoke furniture—was conceived under Studio BDJ’s philosophy of Integrated Design—where space, form, and function move as one.
