Our Process

The equine architect must “listen” to the site the same way an equestrian listens to his horse. Much like a horse with his individual demands and personality, a site contains its own demands and personality. You must find and work with them for the project to be successful.

For more than 40 years, Blackburn Architects has led the world in the design of equestrian facilities that are beautiful and innovative.

Masters of Equestrian Architecture™

Our designers use principles of natural ventilation to create buildings that “breathe” with air and with light, dissipating heat and moisture. We begin by placing buildings within the landscape to take best advantage of a site’s natural features.

 

Then, by venting through the roof, we create “chimneys” encouraging heat to rise. Reduced pressure on the leeward side of a roof, similar to the low pressure created by the shape of an airplane wing, suctions air out of our barns through openings in the roof or vented skylights.
