Blight Rayner Architecture is a multi-award-winning architecture, urban design and interior design practice established in Brisbane in 2016 by Jayson Blight and Michael Rayner, formerly principal directors of Cox Rayner for 36 years.
Jayson and Michael's international projects include the National Maritime Museum of China and the iconic Helix Bridge in Singapore. Among Blight Rayner’s noted projects are the Kangaroo Point Bridge, the National Rugby Training Centre at Ballymore, Jubilee Place in Fortitude Valley, and, in addition to the Glasshouse Theatre, the practice has just completed the refurbishment of the Lyric Theatre at QPAC.

The practice has an underlying design ethos based upon principles of Structure, Craft, Art and Nature, with a focus upon cultural identity and environmental sustainability.
