Anthony “Ankie” Barnes, FAIA, LEED AP is a native of Johannesburg, South Africa. Educated at the University of Witwatersrand and Yale University, Ankie traveled extensively and gained international professional experience before moving to the United States in 1981. His training in traditional and modern architecture and his experience at Hartman Cox Architects in the 1980s, aligned with fellow employee Steve Vanze’s outlook with whom he co-founded BarnesVanze Architects.  Particular emphasis in the classical and traditional realm later became the philosophical design basis of BVA’s well-known residential work.
