History
Having trained under William Hodgen Jr, Arthur W. F. Bligh established his own architectural practice in Toowoomba in 1926. In 1933 Bligh moved to Brisbane, where he developed a strong reputation in the housing sector. His innovative use of brickwork was the foundation of his early success and contributed to the growth in popularity of brick homes in Brisbane in the pre-war years. After the appointment of Colin Jessup as a full partner in 1946 and Athol Bretnall in 1957, the firm took the name Bligh, Jessup, Bretnall and Partners. The practice continued after Bligh's retirement in 1974. In 1977 the firm was renamed Bligh Voller Nield Architecture; which was shortened to BVN Architects in 2009.
