Robert Adam have a vast array of schemes including:
The British School at Rome is a centre for advanced British and Commonwealth archaeological and artistic study in Italy. The original building was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911 as part of the British Pavilion at the Rome Exhibition of that year. It now houses up to 40 scholars and visitors and an important library. Hugh Petter prepared a masterplan document for the phased renovation of the original building and Robert Adam Architects were subsequently retained as design consultants, using a local Italian firm.
The new Sackler Library is fitted inside a small urban block on the west side of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The library is in a complex of buildings centered around a relocated Ashmolean Library. The library is contained in a large circular building which is surrounded with lower wings, all arranged round small courtyards. The entrance to the complex is through a small circular classical pavilion designed in the Doric order of the Temple of Apollo.
E
xclusive commercial scheme in Radlett. This development involved the careful design of 21 apartments within an area of firmly established architectural character. The site occupies an important position at the gateway into the town of Radlett, where commercial district centre and residential outskirts meet. Watling Street, characterised on the east by a distinctly linear streetscape, is comprised of largely 3 storey properties, with high ceilings and retail ground floors. The elevation is broken down into town house bays, mirroring the roof lines of the existing houses opposite, and railings and individual front doors are provided to all ground floor flats Two 4 storey gables on the corner of the site, form both an entrance to the development and an appropriate end to the commercial sector.
A respectful consideration of such local traditions and features have allowed this modern development to sit happily amidst the varied urban landscape.
