About us
Founded in 2016 by Jonathan Bisman and John Massey, BAM is an Architecture & Interior Design Studio that brings together a senior team of building professionals who share a passion for design, technology and construction.
Our practice is structured around three core areas of focus — design, technology, and delivery — ensuring every project is thoughtfully conceived, intelligently documented, and expertly delivered.
With decades of combined experience, we approach each project with clarity, care, and contextual respect. Whether it's a new build, renovation, or fitout, we seek challenging commissions with a focus towards creating solutions that are functional, refined, and enduring.
We collaborate closely with clients, consultants, and contractors, using advanced BIM tools to support clear communication and seamless coordination from concept to completion.
Values
Experience Driven Design
With decades of combined senior-level expertise, we pride ourselves in translating complex challenges into thoughtful, elegant solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
Craft At All Scales
Irrespective of scale, we approach each project with a considered attention to detail, combining design excellence with local construction knowledge to deliver work that is engaging, functional and enduring.
Collaborative Processes
We believe the best results emerge through strong partnerships, with clients, consultants, specialists and contractors, and fostering this collaboration to ensure a seamless journey from concept to completion.
Intelligence Through Technology
We leverage advanced Building Information Modeling tools to enhance coordination, precision, and efficiency, bringing clarity to the design process and confidence to the build.
Integrity In Practice
We are committed to transparency, honesty, and quality in everything we do, from initial sketches to final finishes, ensuring trust and lasting relationships.
ETHOS
At the heart of our practice is a shared commitment to clarity, craft and collaboration. As a team of senior architects and interior designers, we bring decades of design experience and proven knowledge of the construction process to every project undertaken. We believe great design is both thoughtful and buildable, rooted in real-world knowledge and elevated by creativity.
Our work is guided by integrity, where transparency and quality shape every relationship and decision. We value the power of collaboration within our team, with our clients, and alongside specialists and contractors. We understand that meaningful architecture emerges from dialogue and a collective vision.
Technology plays a central role in how we deliver design excellence. Through advanced Building Information Modeling workflows, we ensure precision, coordination, and confidence from concept to completion, bridging the gap between design intent and the built reality.
Above all, we are a group of building enthusiasts, driven by a shared passion for creating structures and spaces that are carefully considered, contextually appropriate, highly functional, and built to resonate for years to come.

BAM-SERVICES
BAM is structured around three core service streams: Design, Technology, and Delivery. While each team works collaboratively, they also deploy independently, offering flexibility tailored to the needs of each client and project.
Design
BAM is a design-led practice delivering clear, executable architectural and interior solutions tailored to each client and context.
Our team offers broad expertise across all major building typologies, with specialised capability in the education, sports, healthcare, and commercial sectors. Complemented by extensive experience in the design and delivery of single andmulti‐unit residential projects, including new builds and complex refurbishment works.
We thrive on challenging commissions of all scales and types, approaching every project with creativity, clarity & confidence.

Technology
We only use advanced Building Information Modelling technology to deliver coordinated, intelligent, and buildable project documentation.
Our technical approach enhances collaboration across inter-consultant disciplines, reduces client and contractor onsite risk, and brings confidence to complex projects.
This integration of design and technology allows us to work more efficiently while maintaining the design intent and precision throughout.

Delivery
We take an active role during construction, ensuring design integrity and contractual clarity for contractors and clients alike.
Regular site visits, established communication protocols, a deep contractual awareness and close collaboration with project stake holders all support a smooth project delivery.
Our hands-on approach and experience, coupled with BIM Technology helps resolve challenges quickly and ensures a high-quality built outcome reflective of the original vision.
