BSB Design, founded in 1966 by Jack Bloodgood in Des Moines, Iowa, has evolved into a distinguished architectural and design firm known for its innovative approach to housing and community design. What began as a one-man operation in a barn has flourished into a national presence, with offices across the United States. Today, BSB Design's mission is to leverage its unique vision to create transformative environments that enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities.
The firm’s founder, Jack Bloodgood, was a pioneer in the housing sector, advocating for the idea that everyone deserves to live in a home designed by an architect. This vision has guided BSB Design's values and operational strategies, which emphasize quality, innovation, and cost-effectiveness in architectural services. Under the direction of accomplished leaders, the firm has expanded its services far beyond single-family homes, encompassing multifamily housing, commercial projects, planning, club design, and student living, among others.
A key differentiator for BSB Design is its collaborative, results-driven approach. The firm prioritizes deep engagement with clients throughout the design process, employing a refined ‘design charette’ method that allows for real-time feedback and adjustments based on stakeholder input. This ensures that projects are not only aesthetically pleasing but also commercially viable, enhancing the clients' return on investment.
BSB Design is committed to innovation, adopting cutting-edge technology to facilitate remote collaborations amongst its skilled architects, designers, and engineers. The culture at BSB Design is built on flexibility, teamwork, and valuing each individual’s contributions, fostering an environment where creativity thrives. With an impressive track record and a dedication to quality, BSB Design continues to lead the industry with impactful designs that resonate with both clients and communities.
