Blackney Hayes Architects was founded in 1988 with a commitment to interactive design and exceptional service. The principals of BHA, Kevin R. Blackney AIA, John Fox Hayes AIA, Jennifer Crawford AIA, Katherine Dowdell AIA and Laura Prickitt believe that every project should be approached from the client's point of view.

BHA builds on a foundation of communication and teamwork, because a successful design is directly related to how well the architect understands and balances the requirements and constraints of the project. They listen carefully to the client's needs and priorities, help to realistically define the project goals, and manage the design and construction process through which the client's vision becomes reality. That discerning quality and attention to detail is exactly why Blackney Hayes was selected for Ardleigh.
