Woman-owned in Rochester, New York
Your imagination meets our expertise: excellence personalized
A woman-owned architecture studio based in Rochester, BX2 values dependability, relationships, and nimble problem-solving. We take a hands-on, collaborative approach, guiding projects from first conversation to final detail with clarity.
General Commercial
From offices and retail centers to warehouses and hospitality spaces, we design commercial spaces with a clear understanding of how it needs to function, flow, and support the people who use it every day.
Civic & Municipal
BX2 knows that public-facing municipal spaces need to thoughtfully support community needs. We bring together administrative, safety, and cultural functions with long-term resilience.
Healthcare & Wellness
We design healthcare environments through a holistic, human-centered lens, prioritizing healing, comfort, and sustainability in every detail to better support patients and providers.
Residential
From duplexes to apartments and townhomes, we design multi-family residential spaces with a focus on livability, efficiency, and the everyday rhythms of modern living.
BX2 brings a hands-on approach to seamlessly work with design consultants and construction teams. Small enough to be flexible but experienced enough to understand the complexities of any project, we’re here to help get the job done.
