Bacani Architectural Design Studio is a Davao-based practice established in 2025. The studio may be young, yet it is rooted in timeless architectural principles.

We embrace the value of AI and the rapid technological advancements that are reshaping the industry as tools that enhance design, but we remain committed and guided by traditions that listen, observe, and keep our work deeply human.

Founded by Ar. Yudin Bacani, a proud Davaoeño and a graduate of the University of Mindanao, Class of 2019. His architectural journey began under the mentorship of Ar. Gloryrose Dy-Metilla of Swito Architecture Designs, an internationally recognized firm known for heritage conservation and community-rooted design.

This experience shaped his perspective, grounding his approach in the lives, traditions, and evolving needs of Filipino communities.

Beyond architecture, Yudin brings experience in digital marketing, brand strategy, and virtual team leadership. These disciplines guide his holistic approach and help create work that balances creativity, clarity, and purposeful execution.

THE PRINCIPLES

People Come First

Architecture begins with human life. The stories you live, the routines you follow, and the needs you carry shape the spaces we design. Understanding your lifestyle is the foundation of every decision we make.

Place Grounds Us

Architecture must belong to its environment. Our work responds to the land, climate, and culture of Davao and the Philippines. Each design becomes a dialogue between heritage and modern living.

Purpose Guides Everything

We design with clarity and intention. Every line, form, and material is chosen to create spaces that look beautiful, feel meaningful, and stand the test of time.

THE CREDO

Architecture begins and ends with YOU.
