About the Author
Blackburn Architects, P.C. was established in 1983 as Smith Blackburn Stauffer Architects to provide full-service architectural design and planning services for equestrian and residential clients. The firm’s horse barns are known throughout the world for their healthy focus: designed for maximum light and ventilation so all occupants (human and equine) enjoy the space and thrive. For more than three decades, Blackburn Architects has distinguished itself with a health-first ethos and as a design-oriented firm who deeply believes that clients’ needs, budget limitations, and site concerns must be balanced with the practitioners’ experience and intrinsic knowledge of the building. The firm's design philosophy is to produce architecture that is both aesthetically pleasing and respectful to its environment by selecting construction materials responsibly, and sensitively preserving scarce or endangered materials.
