about BA+D
bentley architecture + design
Based in NYC, we are a full-service design firm. Our mission is to create beautiful and long-lasting projects that help define the future of buildings.
We believe that site and program are the most fundamental drivers to the built environment, which is why we vision every project with a clear approach to give the client the most unique and exceptional end product as possible.
The studio is led by Ian Bentley, recently named to the top 30 architects under 30 in New York, and a team of innovative and intelligent designers, creatives, and entrepreneurs whose main focus is making the world a better place.

We design buildings that move culture forward. Our architecture merges bold ideas with technical excellence, delivering work that is as visionary as it is buildable. Each project becomes a catalyst—shaping skylines, elevating neighborhoods, and enriching the daily lives of the people who inhabit them. From ground-up developments to transformative adaptive reuse, our architecture is defined by clarity, ambition, and a deep commitment to innovation.
-
We craft interiors that feel intentional, immersive, and deeply human. Every gesture—from material selection to lighting to spatial choreography—is designed to create mood, atmosphere, and emotional resonance. Whether shaping a penthouse, hospitality space, or workplace, our interiors balance beauty with performance, creating environments that are as functional as they are unforgettable.
-
We imagine the future at the scale of cities. Our planning work blends urban strategy, mobility, public realm, community needs, and economic vision into frameworks that unlock long-term value. We design districts that are walkable, sustainable, socially vibrant, and commercially resilient—transforming underutilized land into thriving destinations with a clear sense of identity and purpose.
-
Design doesn’t end at the building—it continues into the objects that shape everyday life. We create furniture, fixtures, spatial systems, and custom elements that bring cohesion, craft, and innovation to every project. Our industrial design work bridges the macro and the micro, ensuring that every touchpoint—down to the details you hold in your hand—reflects the larger architectural vision.

Through our partner studio, NOISE, we elevate architecture with the power of story. We build brands, campaigns, digital experiences, films, and environments that amplify each project’s identity and emotional impact. From naming and logos to marketing campaigns, activation strategy, and immersive installations, we transform developments into destinations—creating experiences that shape perception, drive engagement, and build cultural relevance.
