Bowie Gridley Architects specializes in work for institutions of community significance—schools, performing arts venues, libraries, athletic facilities, museums, and more. BGA builds for life. We are proud to design the places where people gather to talk, teach, learn, work and play.

Architecture is culture. It matters in our communities and it is a reflection of us—the people who inhabit those communities. BGA is continually striving for innovation, for ways to create structures that work better, yet assimilate easily into the context of their surroundings.

Architecture is collaboration. BGA has developed an architectural design process that produces built environments of exceptional quality and function. We invite our clients, our employees, our partners, and our vendors to join in a mutually supportive team where every individual has a stake in the outcome of the work. As a testament to our enduring relationships, over 80 percent of BGA’s projects come from existing clients.

Last but not least, architecture is progress. BGA designs for tomorrow, leading communities into the future.

Located in historic Georgetown, BGA operates as a Washington, D.C. Certified Small Business Enterprise (CBE).
