Robert Dye Architects was formed in 1990 and soon afterwards was selected by the Architecture Foundation as one of Britain's best young architecture practices. Two decades on, RDA has secured its reputation as outstanding residential architects; having won design awards including: the Manser Medal (for the best new one-off house) and a Housing Design .

‘We use strategies that are simple and straightforward to capture the best potential of a site, while drawing on a language of craftsmanship and material understanding. Together, we create an architecture that brings artisanal expertise into contemporary relevance.’ - RDA

‘Our architecture is informed by our continued dedication to academic research. Through our Urban Design unit at the Bartlett, the design of an individual house is responsive to the scale of the wider city and landscape.’ - RDA

Robert Dye Architects is a Chartered Practice with the Royal Institute of British Architects.

  • Robert Dye

    Robert founded the practice in 1990 after eight years working for the legendary Sir James Stirling. Adrenaline and fantasy get him through the week and he hopes that his buildings will make good ruins one day. He once gave directions to David Bowie for one of his first pub gigs. Thirty years on, he's still spotting talent and showing them the way.
  • Jason Coleman xyhm

    Jason Coleman

    Jason worked in Berlin before joining Robert Dye Associates, which put and end to his globe-trotting ways. Since then he has been at RDA for 14 years during which time he has also taught Diploma in Architecture and Urban Design Masters at UEL and UCL. Despite the accent he is not really Canadian.
  • Alex Blundell

    Alex recently qualified as an architect after studying for 7 years, and has been growing his hair for nearly as long. Experience working at a structural engineer's means his buildings are not likely to fall down.
  • Ambroise Brunel

    Ambroise is on a French Government-sponsored internship at RDA. Having given up the sunny climes of Montpellier for the grey skies of North London, we secretly believe he is a spy.
  • Emrys James

    Emrys is a qualified architect who combined practice with the design and build of a house in Dorset before joining RDA in 2006. Four years of brow furrowing and head scratching makes him what he is today.
  • Kaori Iuchi

    Kaori returned to the studio after successfully completing her Part II at London Metropolitan University. She ensures that the office maintains a calm zen atmosphere. Her ‘strikes’ in Tai Chi need to be avoided.
  • Wei Rose

    In her role as practice manager Wei makes sure the office runs smoothly. She also organises CPDs and makes a mean canapé.
