Our Journey
A tale of vision, collaboration, and a touch of family magic. In 1992 R L Adams Architects was founded by Robert Adams, the legacy continued to bloom when Robert Collingwood joined as a partner in 2002. This dynamic duo sculpted a powerhouse team, birthing the Adams + Collingwood ethos. In 2014, a new chapter unfolded as Tamsin Lemesle, Robert Adams’ pragmatic daughter with a background in commercial architecture and project management, took the helm as director, infusing the practice with a fresh, vibrant energy. Experience the evolution, where tradition meets innovation, and family ties shape architectural brilliance.
Publications: In 2017 we celebrated 25 years and published our book, 25 Projects, a collection of our most memorable projects spanning 25 years in practice; projects that have shaped the direction of their work; that stand out as unique; that they learnt from, or have a personal connection to.
