BSP is a luxury
design-build firm with expertise in NYC.
Leadership
As co-founder of BSP, Matt Bindner leads with a hands-on approach, translating big ideas into beautifully executed spaces. He focuses equally on high-level vision and the smallest design details, guiding projects from concept through construction.
Raised in small-town Iowa, Matt learned early the value of hard work and adaptability. A formative trip to Chicago sparked his love for architecture and cities, eventually leading to a professional degree in Architecture from Iowa State University and a Master’s in Urbanism from MIT. His early career included working for nationally recognized design firms and global luxury retail with Ralph Lauren.
At BSP, Matt combines deep expertise in design and construction, delivering projects ranging from historic buildings in New York to residences across North America. He believes great design should look beautiful, function seamlessly, and leave a lasting impression.
Outside the studio, Matt is a dedicated husband and father who constantly pursues thoughtful design and meaningful experiences—whether through travel, architecture, or everyday life.

As co-founder of BSP, Jack Spencer brings a rare blend of creative vision, technical expertise, and no-nonsense execution to every project. Since moving to New York City in 2007, he has spent nearly two decades building in one of the most demanding construction markets in the world.
Jack earned his degree in Business Administration with a focus in finance from George Washington University and began his construction career in the shadow of the 2008 financial crisis. That timing shaped his perspective: a project isn’t just a build—it’s an investment. Whether it’s a business venture, the comfort of a home, or the foundation of a legacy, Jack approaches each with urgency, precision, and care.
His expertise spans site logistics, value engineering, and contract negotiation, with a focus on bridging client goals with practical execution. He remains deeply involved from pre-construction through final turnover, ensuring every project holds up in the field and on the balance sheet.
Clients and collaborators know Jack for his sharp instincts, clear communication, and relentless drive to get it done right the first time. Whether managing a fast-paced tenant fit-out or troubleshooting a systems integration in the field, he leads with clarity, humor, and an unshakable commitment to craftsmanship.
When he’s not on site or in the shop fabricating a solution himself, Jack is likely testing an idea no one asked for—but that might just change the way something gets built.
