Since BGO Architects has been founded in 1968, we've established a reputation for leadership and innovation in architecrutal design services, especially in multi-family. As we enter the next 50 years, we're setting our sights above and beyond. Beyond convention. Beyond the status quo. And as always, BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. In the last 50 years, a lot has changed. Then again, much has stayed the same. Names have changed. Our reputation hasn’t. Relationships change, but not our commitment. So, what’s different as we enter the next half-century? Not much—and also everything. BGO Architects is now HEDK Architects. Our new name, HEDK Architects, is less about the names or the letters, and more about what they stand for. It’s about pursuing the potential and promise that lies beyond. And while the new name is certainly a change worth recognizing, we think you’ll find it’s the same quality of design services here.
