Profile
A partnership should be a meeting of minds, a coming together of vision and ambition. It need not be a fusion of personalities. Which is just as well. Formed in 1956, RMJM was Robert Matthew and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall. Robert so blunt; Stirrat quietly encouraging. One a traditionalist, focused on design and construction, the other immersed in systems and planning. Perhaps it’s just as well that their offices were separated by 500 miles.
What they did share, however, was a belief in humane modernism; architecture as service. With public sector backgrounds – Robert as former Chief Architect to the Scottish Office and later London County Council and Stirrat Chief Architect to the Ministry of Education – it was no surprise that the practice flourished on commissions for schools, universities and hospitals. And it was to be another public commission – albeit from overseas – that would propel the firm to prominence.
Who we are:
We are RMJM, one of the world’s largest architecture firms with nearly 2000 people spread across five continents.
What we do:
Our range of services includes architecture, interior design, master planning, urban design, sustainable design, engineering, arts consultancy, landscape design, preservation architecture, environmental graphics and visualisation. We also provide sector specific services through our PRO studios, namely Sport and Healthcare.
How we got here:
RMJM was founded in 1956 by Sir Robert Matthew & Stirrat Johnson- Marshall in the United Kingdom. Entrepreneurial & Internationalist from the outset, a series of high profile design commissions in London provided a platform for expansion outside the UK. By the late 1960’s RMJM were supporting the British Government, the United Nation and a serious of international Governments on major projects in the Middle East & North Africa and formally established RMJM in Dubai in 1971 before the formation of the United Arab Emirates. The 1970’s saw RMJM established in Asia and working in China as early as the mid-1980’s. With the beginning of the 21st Century, RMJM was involved in a series of high-profile projects including the new Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Gazprom Tower in St Petersburg and the Media and Broadcasting Centre for the Beijing Olympics.
