“What is formidable about the achievements of Richard Murphy Architects is the range of building types which the practice has mastered.” Sir Richard MacCormac.
Formed in 1991, Richard Murphy Architects’ early reputation was built on highly crafted and innovative domestic work in Edinburgh, Scotland. The practice has grown both in size and range of commissions, working across the UK and Ireland, in Europe and Sri Lanka and, more than two decades on, has amassed an extensive portfolio.

Richard Murphy - Key Project

Richard Murphy made his name in the early nineties doing modern house extensions in Edinburgh that challenged the existing conservative Edinburgh architecture scene. A key early building was the Fruitmarket Gallery which layered new and old with a nod to Carlo Scarpa. As the studio developed a major project for RMA was Dundee Contemporary Arts, Scotland - involving new-build and redevelopment of an existing building. In recent years the British High Commission is surely a highpoint for the practice, an elegant building that works with its context and culture.
