Robbie Kerr, Partner

Robbie Kerr’s work spans an extensive range of building types and urban design, from the restoration of historic houses and the design of new homes and places, to work for large country estates and institutions, including churches.

His international experience spans Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and Asia, providing a broad understanding of how traditional architecture responds to different climates, materials and cultural contexts. He is deeply committed to the durability, sustainability and attention to detail inherent in craftsmanship, and to buildings that respond sustainably to the needs of their owners while embodying the concept of living tradition.

Robbie is experienced in advising historic estates on the long-term care of complex building portfolios, from principal houses to ancillary and service buildings. He works closely with owners, estate managers and in-house teams helping estates move from reactive intervention to preventative care.

After training at the University of Edinburgh, Oxford Brookes and University College London, Robbie joined ADAM Architecture full-time in 2010 and became the practice’s youngest partner in 2016.

He is an ambassador of the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, a fellow of the RSA, a trustee of the Lutyens Trust and the Commonwealth Heritage Forum, a past trustee of the Georgian Group and past chair of the Young Georgians, and a member of INTBAU and TAG at the RIBA. He founded the ADAM Future Group, a non-hierarchical discussion group that explores a wide range of topics relating to classical and traditional architecture and urban planning.
