RM_A

We enjoy creating good architecture and want others to enjoy the fruits of that creativity. Our underlying ethos is that the art of architecture is continually learned, and our commitment is to both design and build great buildings. Where these processes are entwined we have an enduring desire to review, improve and optimise every aspect of design, from masterplanning at an urban scale to the detail and materiality of our buildings.

RM_A benefits from a long history successfully designing and delivering projects for a wide range of clients for over 45 years.
The studio is led by a dynamic team of directors who have been a large part of that history and continue to take the practice forward with vision and technical expertise that has been developed over the decades.

All the directors continue to take an active role in projects which ensures that they maintain their expertise in design, technology, regulation and policy but at the same time they provide a personal and direct service to our clients.

We enjoy the simplicity and modesty of great architecture. Once we have explored rational and pragmatic concepts, we look beyond that to make something special within the constraints and context.

Our aim is to exceed expectations, to look for innovation – not for innovation’s sake, but to embrace progress and continually seek to improve quality; to surprise and delight our clients and ourselves. In this way we make sure our clients are happy and they come back to us again because they know we can deliver. At the same time we keep ourselves stimulated by always looking for more; always seeking to learn and to realise potential.
