Why Choose Our Services

Blockwright blends architecture, urban design, and planning into one studio with a simple goal: making communities more vibrant, resilient, and connected through multiscale urbanism.

Site Planing / Master Planning
Adaptive Reuse / Preservation

Blockwright’s work has been recognized nationally for advancing housing, connectivity, and place-based design. From catalytic neighborhood plans to region-shaping infrastructure, the studio’s projects have earned honors for their ability to translate long-term vision into built outcomes.

Blockwright approaches every project as part of a larger system where buildings, streets, and neighborhoods work together to shape daily life. From regional frameworks to block-level interventions, the studio focuses on creating places that are not only functional, but enduring and grounded in context.

Our Expertise

Architecture

Our designs for commercial and residential buildings prioritize character over style, resulting in projects that last simply because people love having them around.

City Planning

From area plans and corridor studies to housing strategies and code reform, we help cities make better decisions about how they grow. Our planning work is grounded in design — producing documents that are both technically rigorous and compelling enough to build public support.

Pre-Approved Building Programs

Together with our partners at Pattern Zones Co., our programs deliver faster permits, lower soft costs, and buildable designs — without cutting corners on design quality or code compliance.

Site Planning / Master Planning

Our clients include Walmart, JB Hunt, cities, non-profits, and private developers. At every scale, we produce plans that are both visionary and buildable — threading concepts through entitlement and construction without losing the original idea.

Development Yield Analysis

We test sites against zoning, code, and market realities before a dollar is spent on design. The result is a clear picture of what a site can yield and what it will take to get there.

Adaptive Re-Use / Preservation

Existing buildings carry embodied value that new construction can't replicate. We specialize in returning historic and underutilized structures to productive use without sacrificing what makes them worth saving.

Pattern Books

Design standards that actually get used. Our pattern books translate planning vision into clear, buildable guidance for developers, builders, and reviewers — whether setting the standard for a large mixed-use development or establishing architectural character across an entire jurisdiction.

Trail-Oriented Development

Drawing on our work along the Razorback Greenway, we help cities and developers capture the full value of active transportation infrastructure through housing, mixed use, and public realm strategies that put the trail at the center.

Entitlement Services

Rezoning petitions, variance requests, permitting strategy, and plan review navigation. We know how local processes work and how to move projects through them efficiently.
