BDG and JRS Join Forces

The leadership teams of BDG Architects and JRS Architect joined forces in July 2025, uniting the talent and resources of two well-established architectural practices. This strategic partnership has resulted in an expanded team of design professionals and an even stronger platform to deliver exceptional client service. With the addition of two offices in the Northeast, BDG’s geographic footprint now extends beyond its current Southeastern locations, further solidifying its national presence.

Grounded in a shared philosophy of purposeful, sustainable, and innovative design, our cultures align naturally — from how we collaborate and approach design challenges to how we value our clients, teams, and the communities we serve.

Enhanced Design Expertise

This union creates exciting opportunities for our combined staff — offering more room to grow, collaborate, and lead across a wider range of projects. With enhanced design expertise and greater resources, we are well-positioned to offer a broader, more integrated range of services to our clients — all while maintaining the quality, attention, and focus that define our work

New Services and Expertise

“Our partnership with JRS will allow us to offer new services and expertise with advanced solutions. The collaboration is a natural evolution in the execution of both firms’ strategic initiatives and builds on BDG’s efforts to expand and develop talent.”
Chris Kirschner, AIA, President of BDG Architects.

Expanded Opportunities

“This partnership will provide for a broader range of services offered via enhanced technology platforms. Our clients will now have expanded opportunities to realize their future projects whether in the greater New York City area or on the eastern seaboard.”
John Sorrenti, FAIA, FRAIC, President of JRS Architect. PC
