BHDP Receives Two Cincinnati Design Awards for Large Scale Interior Architecture
We are proud to announce that BHDP received two awards for Large Scale Interior Architecture at this year’s Cincinnati Design Awards (CDA). The CDA program recognizes the best built-environment design produced by Cincinnati-area firms and promotes the social and economic value of good design. A distinguished jury of design thought leaders and eminent practitioners presents the awards each year.
Honorable Mention: Research College of Nursing (RCoN)
BHDP designed Research College of Nursing’s portion of a new three-story nursing education building, a space the college shares with HCA's Clinical Center for Advancement. RCoN's program includes five clinical labs, four classrooms, a student lounge and study space, a testing suite, and administrative and faculty areas, as well as shared access to a simulation suite.
BHDP worked with RCoN to design a facility that addresses all the needs of students, including a lounge space for students to study, collaborate, and relax. | View Project
Sustainability and inclusion were woven into the design from the start. Wellness rooms and a variety of lounge configurations give students and staff genuine choice in how and where they work, while the latest technology for nursing education grounds the curriculum in realistic, practical scenarios that mirror the environments graduates will enter. The project is officially LEED Gold certified.
The new building gives RCoN students, faculty, and staff an environment purpose-built for their success. With lab spaces and collaborative areas designed to inspire, everyone who steps into the building can see firsthand the innovative work being done to prepare the next generation of nurses to deliver exceptional care.
Honorable Mention: The Collective Studio – Confidential Client
The Collective Studio design solves a simple challenge with an ambitious answer: how do you give brand builders a home where different perspectives don’t just coexist but actively create momentum together. The design strategy prioritizes natural light, warmth, and flexibility to support well-being and sustain creative energy throughout the day. Adaptable furnishings and integrated technology allow teams to shift easily between ways of working without losing continuity or comfort.
BHDP worked closely with the client to create a workspace that brings identity to the brand and enhances creative energy.
The result is a vibrant, emotionally resonant workplace that feels both expressive and highly functional for brand-minded teams. A dynamic common space draws people together through eclectic layers of color and pattern, raw textures, sculptural moments, and bold art that sparks conversation. Surrounding brand rooms deepen the experience with immersive environments that celebrate distinct identities, creating an office that is consistently inspiring, filled with energy, and designed to turn collaboration into real creative output.
