01Purpose

We design in, on, near and under water.

At BACA we design resilient, low-carbon communities that live in harmony with water. Our mission is to transform flood risk into opportunity, design architecture that protects people, enhances landscapes, and restores ecological balance. We deliver solutions that adapt to a changing climate through innovation and collaboration, while shaping places of beauty, sustainability, and lasting value.

Flood Resilient Architecture

Homes and buildings that rise, float or let water pass through, designed to live safely with flooding rather than fight it. From the UK’s first amphibious house to resilient lakeside lodges, we turn flood-risk sites into places that can be built on with confidence.

Leisure and Hospitality

Floating villas, resorts and lodges that put guests on the water, with light-touch structures that protect fragile coasts. From island retreats in the Maldives to beach clubs on the Red Sea, we design destinations where architecture, landscape and water meet.

Urban Skylines and Masterplans

Waterfront districts, towers and masterplans that turn rivers, docks and coastlines into resilient places to live and work. Working with cities and developers, we plan for rising water from the start, creating new public spaces, homes and landmarks along the water’s edge.
