BA+D is Anthony Blackwell, a second generation Draughtsman and Architectural Designer.

I am an Independent Architectural Designer and Licensed Building Practitioner based in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

I work on projects that are both entirely new and projects that look to re-use or upgrade existing spaces.

“Very happy with the new house – You have created a great design”

BA+D Repeat Client.

I complete work in a variety of sectors including residential, commercial and higher education. My designs are characterized by their attention to detail, their materiality, and the seamless integration of existing and important design elements.

I provide full Architectural Design and Documentation services that add value and aim to avoid issues that inevitably occur in construction.

“I appreciate the quality and clarity of your drawings—makes it a pleasure to process”
