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.
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
Through the academic experience of 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
Principal
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
Senior Architect
Before joining Robert Dye Architects Jason worked in Berlin but he has put an end to his globe-trotting ways and two decades later he is still with us. Despite the accent, he isn’t really Canadian.
SAMMY DYE-MONTEFIORE
Architectural Trainee
Sammy in his year out of school went to Australia and gained a Bear Grylls alter-ego wrestling sea crocodiles. Returning to the office post-adventures with a pony tail and a deep tan, to his dismay, he would not be taken seriously. His favourite part of the day is collecting his boss’ mystery lunch as he is the dedicated Sandwich Boy.
