The designs are available on GitHub:

In these cases, that licence shall be clearly marked on or by the relevant media, file or repository.

the copyright over the changes to the blueprints which you commissioned. Due to the terms of the CC licence that you agreed to, you must licence your modifications under a compatible licence if you distribute them further. Likewise, if your agreement with the architect gives them title to the copyright, this responsibility is initially on them.
I don't see how this arrangement could be considered objectionable?
