About us:

BerGon Architects was founded on a simple belief: architecture must be grounded in reality. Creativity and design vision matter, but so do technical knowledge, planning expertise and the commitment to deliver work that stands up in the real world. We design buildings and spaces for real people, prioritising practicality, buildability and thoughtful design from the first sketch to the final handover.

Our work spans a wide range of project types, including residential homes, multi‑unit developments, commercial spaces and mixed‑use schemes. Whether we are shaping early concepts, preparing planning applications or delivering coordinated technical information, our focus is always on clarity, quality and solutions that work in practice.

We combine strong planning strategy with robust technical design and clear construction information. Clients come to us for guidance on feasibility, planning potential, design development and construction delivery. When projects move on site, we provide coordinated, buildable working drawing packages that support contractors and ensure the design is executed properly.

As a team, we bring together complementary strengths across planning, architecture, technical detailing, construction and project delivery. This allows us to support homeowners, developers, businesses and housing providers through every stage of a project with honesty, transparency and a genuine commitment to doing things properly.

JUAN GONZALEZ.

Juan began his career working directly within the construction industry before pursuing architecture. This early experience gives him a practical, detail‑driven understanding of how buildings come together, how contractors operate and what information is needed to achieve high‑quality results.

He is not only familiar with the planning process but also highly experienced in the technical and construction stages of projects. Juan produces coordinated, buildable and regulation‑compliant working drawing packages. His portfolio includes private residential refurbishments, new‑build homes and larger multi‑unit developments, including both houses and apartment blocks. This breadth of experience allows him to manage complex technical requirements and consultant coordination with confidence.

Juan is widely recognised as someone who can provide clear, reliable solutions when a project presents an unusual challenge or when others are unsure how to proceed. He leads the studio’s technical standards, ensuring that every project is robust, clearly detailed and ready for construction. He works closely with contractors and consultants during the build, helping resolve technical queries and ensuring that design intent is maintained on site.

Outside of work, Juan enjoys spending time with his family, reading about a wide range of subjects that capture his interest and learning about both new and traditional construction techniques.
