ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Our design philosophy and approach are centered around changing lives through exceptional environments. That means constantly seeking out innovative, responsive, equitable, and sustainable design solutions that have a transformative impact on our clients and their communities. Our work elegantly integrates and balances function, performance, and inspiration in order to produce extraordinary spaces. Find more about our work under Projects.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Interiors create the experiences people have as they interact with a space. Our talented staff apply their deep knowledge of aesthetics, performance design, materials, project management, wayfinding, and space planning to promote holistic wellbeing and bring every project to life.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A project’s success comes down to leadership and people skills, especially when it comes to managing scope, schedule, and budget. Our PMs are skilled at guiding teams toward durable decisions that keep costs down, and are adept at growing and sustaining relationships in a hybrid environment.
STRATEGIC FACILITY PLANNING
Planning is more than a roadmap for development–it creates a shared vision to discover the best solutions to complex problems and opportunities. We examine all factors that influence an organization’s decision for growth and change, from location and site characteristics to design considerations, engineering criteria, environmental impact, and community integration. We base our conclusions on a deep understanding of your existing conditions and program needs to set you up for growth and success.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
Successful projects are those in which the elements are constructed as designed. Our in-house CA staff provide the bridge between design and construction, ensuring that the intent of the design solutions are constructed as planned and finding options that can minimize change orders, control costs, and maintain the project schedule.
Construction administrators work closely with mechanical and electrical engineers to review shop drawings and assist contractors. From issue resolutions to payment verification and change order processing, CA staff see that construction proceeds in compliance with the construction drawings and specifications, helping to control costs and schedules.
CODE CONSULTING AND COMPLIANCE
Our code specialists are second to none when it comes to successful compliance and strong working relationships with regulatory agencies and personnel from local to state levels. At every stage of design, from programming to construction documentation, code reviews are an integral part of our quality-assurance system to identify and resolve code conflicts and prevent surprises, minimizing schedule and budgetary impacts.

SCENARIO PLANNING
Scenario Planning combines the vision of where organizations want to go under controlled conditions with an approach that examines the resiliency of that vision in the face of uncontrolled conditions. It expands the meaning of resiliency by encouraging teams to consider not only continuous operations and return to normalcy, but also the ability to flex facilities and workflows in real time in response to disruptive events.
PERFORMANCE/SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
What many refer to as sustainable design has taken on an added dimension at BWBR through our commitment to performance design, encompassing the evaluations, studies, and cost-analysis recommendations people seek based on LEED® requirements and other benchmarking standards, such as Minnesota B3 Benchmarking. They are an integral part of our design methodology.
With a reputation among clients and local contractors for quality documentation, BWBR works with organizations to identify goals, create strategies, and help produce designs that are healthy, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible.

ADAPTIVE REUSE
Part of being a responsible design firm is to see the value in existing structures. The carbon footprint of a construction project can be reduced by 50 – 75% by reusing an existing building. Reclaiming structures for new uses gives organizations the ability to live values that increasingly emphasize a more responsible approach to growth and development while demonstrating a vibrant and dynamic vision.
Our approach to adaptive reuse creates a nexus where creativity, codes analysis, and technical expertise combine to reclaim a space – a dilapidated parking structure, a reinvented big box store, or an outdated education facility, for example – and shape it for new purpose and performance. The final solution is one that excites stakeholders, advances organizations, and benefits communities with a revitalized asset.
BRANDING SERVICES
A strong brand helps bring an organization’s strength to life. It communicates personality, affirms leadership, and cultivates support.
Our graphic design staff help organizations infuse their brand into built environments though product showcases, environmental graphics, and signage design, engaging people in authentic and exciting strategies. Using images, materials, and colors, our designers help organizations discover branding strategies that complement their organization’s purpose and personality.

We help organizations extend their brand into communication strategies that reach stakeholders, cultivate new support, and break into new markets. Our graphic designers and communications talent work in concert with our design-solutions team to develop images and messages that growing organizations such as churches, educational institutions, and health care organizations can use in print and promotional materials.
