“We wanted a sophisticated, multi-disciplinary architectural firm that combined creativity with extensive technical knowledge. We worked closely with one of the principals, Jennifer Crawford, throughout the entire process. Jennifer met with us before we bought the house and confirmed that we would be able to achieve our vision for a California-style home with open spaces and abundant light. Somehow, Jennifer managed to design a home that is visually exciting yet completely comfortable. We are very grateful for her superb work.”
“The firm’s knowledge of charter schools, and urban communities, coupled with architectural expertise have come together to produce a project that is “picture perfect”. The Blackney Hayes team was able to manage through the process in an efficient and effective manner to keep our project on target both with time and budget. Often star architects like star athletes have difficulty being team players. BHA successfully became our “player-coach” with the ease and aplomb of a Bill Russell. As a result, they set a new standard in Newark that will have to be met by the rest of the developing community.”
