OUR WORK

At BENT Architecture, we believe in the integration of architecture and landscape and the importance of creating responsive built environments that are attuned to their site. Our process-driven approach establishes rich dialogues between context, program, and people to create built environments that are both functional and engaging. Our diverse portfolio includes projects in architecture, interior design, urban and landscape design, across education, commercial, community, and housing sectors. We strive to create excitement, surprise, and delight in every project, regardless of its scale or location.

HOUSES & HOUSING

BENT Architecture has extensive experience in delivering high-quality residential design solutions, from single-family homes to medium-density housing projects. We believe that homes should be more than just a shelter; they should enrich people's lives and make them feel good. Our people-first approach creates homes that are comfortable, inviting, and connect occupants to nature. We focus on creating homes that are energy-efficient, sustainable, and tailored to the needs of the occupants.

GREEN ROOFS & WALLS

BENT Architecture is a leader in green roof design. We believe that integrating landscape into the built environment has numerous benefits, including improving air quality, reducing energy consumption, and creating habitats for wildlife. Our green roofs and walls are designed to be functional, visually appealing, and sustainable. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and deliver customized solutions that meet their specific requirements.

SUSTAINABILITY

At BENT Architecture, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that sustainable design is not just about reducing energy consumption; it's about creating buildings that are functional, durable, and adaptable. Our designs incorporate passive solar design principles, energy-efficient materials, and sustainable building practices to minimize environmental impact. We believe that sustainable design should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget.

THE THREE PILLARS OF BENT ARCHITECTURE

At BENT Architecture, we are guided by three pillars: people, environment, and delight. We believe that without people, architecture is useless; without the environment, people don't exist; and what's the point of existing without a bit of surprise and delight? Our people-first approach creates happy and healthy places for people. We're passionate about creating environmentally sustainable architecture that sustains people and the environment. And we believe that architecture should always bring a bit of surprise and delight.
