dRMM

dRMM is a London-based studio of architects and designers, founded in 1995 by Alex de Rijke, Philip Marsh and Sadie Morgan. The practice takes pride in carrying out work that is innovative, high quality and socially useful. dRMM has a track record of creating extraordinary architecture within the standard constraints of the construction industry. Their radical projects are led by site, client needs, concept and construction, rather than formulaic or style-based decisions. They are known for such high-profile projects as Kingsdale School Hall, Hastings Pier, Endless Stair, Sliding House and Faraday House at the Battersea Power Station.

Since 2000 dRMM has pioneered the use of engineered timber as the most relevant material for 21st century architecture. The practice’s timber research includes the competition winning prefabricated timber housing method ‘Wood Blocks’, a solution to the UK’s housing shortage which reduces building costs by 40% and construction times by 25%. The studio co-invented Tulipwood CLT in 2013 for use in the imaginative structure, Endless Stair.
