We take accessibility very seriously, and are experts in the field. Our owner and president has even taught professional coursework on the subject. The planning phase of each project includes a meticulous evaluation of the Fair Housing Act, ADA, ANSI Building Code, and UFAS to determine what the most stringent accessibility requirements that could be applied to our project. This enables us to ensure that our design is not only compliant, but exceeds the legal requirements by a factor of safety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592572043693-R0ZV7KMYN8Y7XDA75UZB/modern-construction-circle-2.png Expertise - Building Science Anyone who can call themselves an architect understands the building code, but not all architects understand how much a project’s climatic and regulatory context can change over time. The success of any multifamily project depends critically on building technology systems that can respond to these factors without causing runaway costs. We do this better than anyone else we know. We are building-science geeks, and take pride in our ability to use technology to make our buildings less expensive to manage, and serve their residents better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592947352441-N50JMPIB35MSCUB6HIKY/usa.png Expertise With affordable LIHTC housing design experience in 15 different states across the country, our team's background working with a variety of code and state finance agency regulations is extensive. This wealth of knowledge has taught us to rapidly learn and adapt to any project’s particular regulatory needs and succeed even in new states. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592178244980-CK4S1OZO4TUJPHX5HT4F/lihtc-circle.png Expertise - LIHTC Building Our firm works almost exclusively on LIHTC projects, and through experience has developed capabilities few others can match. We are deeply familiar with the accessibility and timetable requirements of LIHTC, and we know how to expedite a project without cutting corners--or causing hidden problems that will create costs later on. Our projects are designed from the ground up for easy, compliant management. In fact, we share office space with the people who manage the properties we design, and maintain a close relationship. Feedback from property managers is a direct input into our design process, ensuring that we know what they need in order to manage a property at the highest level of efficiency and compliance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592178282136-LSLEW4WRQBSYA4WG6I9K/finance-circle.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591620336598-3L13ZQLB2AAZJRZ0C3NQ/schaefer.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592585407526-C52ZQ4QMQL2E7ZD8685N/1526398971_mvah-logo.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592598685012-F8ZTLZ8MUXC1BWJBX1X0/486126_209014.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591620419124-PKDIWR46C9UGEX2I2967/aser.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591620461560-XN4A3763L1YUH8GL98LN/kleingers.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591620441946-LTOC8FVL4CDPCTH1M0GR/vmp.png Expertise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591620357730-72S0CMFRE4RIAE3GKHSJ/apg.png Expertise https://www.bdclarchitects.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-06-09 https://www.bdclarchitects.com/people daily 0.75 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/27945a01-4d5f-4f41-aa17-211babf18e2d/Williams2024-130+edited.jpg People - Alyssa Williams CPHD Northeast Regional Manager Project Manager Alyssa joined BDCL in July 2024, bringing 14 years of diverse experience in architecture and design.

Our Office, Cincinnati OH For BDCL Architects as a company, it starts with WHY. That is why the first thing you see when you visit the team at our office, you are presented with the wall that explains what housing is to us. We know the design of housing takes teamwork & relationships and can help to improve the lives of residents while transforming neighborhoods. The superior housing we design empowers people and enhances communities and we are reminded of that every day through the ongoing successes of the residents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591978219758-NHO7JWIME7T0VLNJZ5JX/20200611_021659764_iOS.jpg Projects - Our Office, Cincinnati OH Residents are at the heart of our work and what better way to have a constant reminder than to see pictures of what it means to them. Our art gallery is filled with the drawings from young residents in some of the developments we design and they each tell the story of their home. We are so fortunate to design homes that impact family’s lives everyday and these images help to invigorate us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592585680843-KDHJ06K07KMBXJCK5NY2/20200611_021550847_iOS.jpg Projects - Our Office, Cincinnati OH Our map wall is a constant reminder of the places we have been and the communities we have yet to serve. Every unfinished state is an opportunity to create more housing for the residents that need our help.

Some feature developments show the variety and capabilities of the team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591978190641-OFO8CIK2531FHCS019VJ/20200611_022105964_iOS.jpg Projects - Our Office, Cincinnati OH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1592585637842-ZJ91Y8DNB0WDMQYORKIZ/20200611_023215383_iOS.jpg Projects - Our Office, Cincinnati OH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2de5978abb62a3ee220bc/1591978489937-QDBQ4VSG8LYOA969GY2Z/20200611_021814251_iOS.jpg Projects - Our Office, Cincinnati OH Office walls adorned with candid photos of satisfied residents.
