New Studio Snapshot conversation on Archinect: ‘Each Modest Project Improves a Life, and Ideally, the Life Next Door’: A Conversation With BLDUS
We speak with Andrew Linn and Jack Becker, founding partners of Washington, DC-based architecture and development office BLDUS @bld.us about their "farm-to-shelter" ethos, material eloquence, architects as developers/ builders, and designing buildings that are not only sustainable but also healthy.
"Sometimes the only way to truly understand a project — sometimes the only way to realize it at all — is to become its developer or its builder, taking on roles that stretch well beyond design," they tell us.
BLDUS is also a recent winner of the Architectural League of New York's @archleague 2026 Emerging Voices awards.

🌟Meet @bld.us, one of the 2026 Emerging Voices🌟
Jack Becker and Andrew Linn founded B L D U S in Washington, DC, in 2013. Across its housing-focused portfolio, the firm prioritizes the use of natural materials both local, like oak and black locust, and renewable, such as cork and bamboo. This focus on unconventional building materials draws on the firm’s expertise across fields and trades, including architecture, development, and carpentry.
This Thursday, hear from B L D U S and fellow awardee @g3.arquitectos about their practices, followed by a conversation with Isabel Abascal (@lanzaatelier).
