Accomplished in design management and project delivery, Blair optimises the buildability of some of the most challenging landmark and award-winning architectural projects. With particular attention to project efficiency, Blair’s focus on BIM software systems has seen complex buildings benefit significantly from the added coordination and productivity this provides. His approach is simple; he seeks to ensure that delivery of a project surpasses the clients’ needs and expectations, without compromising on design and the value this can bring. Blair has worked extensively in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. He joined Woods Bagot in 2014 and was promoted to Associate Principal in 2021.

He was Woods Bagot’s project lead on the skyline-shaping 65 Federal Street residential project in Auckland, project delivery lead on the award-winning Collins Arch (Woods Bagot and SHoP Architects), project lead for the soon to be completed Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre, and project architect on the mixed-use precinct 80 Collins St in Melbourne.
