What We Do
Planning-led architecture for real-world development challenges.
Master Planning
We help developers unlock value through zoning strategy, political feasibility, and buildable vision.
Our planning work begins where it matters most — at the intersection of zoning, land use, and long-term development goals. We partner with developers to shape policy, guide entitlement paths, and position sites for successful, financeable projects.
From TOD district strategy to full-scale rezoning, we’ve helped bring major development opportunities to life in places like Copiague, Lindenhurst, and Westbury — including village-wide code overhauls and site-specific planning that clears entitlement risk before design begins.
We also work within complex Form-Based Code environments, helping projects in Wyandanch, Hempstead Village, and Virginia Beach align with local policy and move efficiently through approvals.
Transit Oriented Development
Walkable, mixed-use communities anchored by transit.
Representative projects include Wyandanch Village, Copiague Commons, Port Jefferson Crossing, Langdon at Lynbrook Station, Baldwin Commons, The Grand at Baldwin, Riverhead TOD, Carman Place, and 248 North Broadway.

Market Rate Residential
BHC designs market rate multifamily housing that balances unit yield, amenity programming, and construction realities within entitlement and budget constraints.
Efficient, buildable housing designed for today’s market.
Projects range from mid-rise and podium buildings to mixed-use and transit-adjacent residential developments across New York and the Mid-Atlantic.
Workforce & Senior Housing
We are one of the leading firms in the Region with thousands of Workforce and Senior units completed and hundreds more in the pipeline.
The design standards for these type of developments are often challenging due to specific requirements for sustainability, accessibility and levels of quality that surprisingly often surpass the needs of some Market Rate developments.

Public & Civic
Our public and civic work supports community institutions including libraries, educational facilities, and public buildings that serve as long-term civic anchors.
Trusted design for municipal and public clients.
Hospitality Design
Hotels and mixed-use hospitality projects that balance guest experience with real-world feasibility.
We’ve designed successful and Award -winning hospitality projects within complex zoning, entitlement, and historic frameworks — from new construction, conference centers, out-of-the box, boutique and adaptive reuse.
Whether it's a ground-up hotel or a redevelopment in a high-visibility urban district, our work aligns brand goals with planning realities.
Interior Design
BHC Architects provides interior design services as an integrated component of public, civic, and multi-family projects, including public libraries and shared amenity spaces.
Why BHC?
Because we design for the real world — not for awards, not for ego, and not for style.
Our work moves projects forward by aligning with zoning, community context, and development goals from day one.
And when it’s time to build, our construction documents make the difference.
They’re clear, coordinated, and known for reducing RFIs, change orders, and delays — helping teams deliver smoother projects, faster.
