Inspiration .........what gets us out of bed in the morning

People Personality Passion

Home Matters.

Our humanistic approach acknowledges that people (human experience) are at the center of our designs. In this way, we covet care and build bestowed trust in our relationships with our clients & construction collaborators. We believe these values matter and deliver the best results. A "successful" project to us is one where the architecture reminds people of how they want to live with their surroundings and their own humanity. We believe that the inhabitants of a home should feel supported and connected.

Harmony

The

Experience

Water... Fire... Family... Friends... Rest... Breathe... Exhale... Recharge... Sanctuary...

We are in service to build safe spaces, and in this pursuit aim to elicit feelings of peace and joy. This value is a welcome reminder that this process and practice is a privilege from all sides and something to feel grateful for. Plus we believe bringing Bliss back can bring play back into the process, and we generally think that makes things better!

210 + years of Living, 105+ Years of Design, 4-1/2 Kids,...a lot of Memories

Chris

Belanger

Chris can be found overlooking the pacific ocean in our Studio West location in Santa Barbara. If you can't find him there you might look on a racetrack such as Laguna Seca (see above) testing the limits of his Citroen. Chris & Joe started BPC 20+ years ago and have weathered various iterations of BPC with successful collaboration. Chris has a razor sharp ability to summarize a 60 minute zoom meeting into 30 seconds of well organized directives. Chris is the resident expert in all things CAD, Construction, Details & Design

Joe

Paul

Architect

Joe 's passion for design & construction began with fort-building with his brother Jeff. He's inspired by vernacular architecture that responds to culture & climate. The first book on architecture that he owned was "Architecture without Architects". Joe's perception of beauty centers around authenticity, integrity and genuineness; therefore he sees successful design as one that is people-centric VS an ego driven attachment to a personal style. Joe is a licensed architect in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, Colorado, Florida & North Carolina.
