Studio
ra-studio is an architectural practice based in Porthtowan on Cornwall’s north coast. Founded in 2011 by Robert Atkinson, the studio focuses on carefully crafted residential work.

Our work is rooted in a close reading of place. We are interested in how buildings sit within their landscape; how they respond, belong, and endure. Through a measured and thoughtful approach, we aim to create architecture that is both appropriate and lasting, with sustainability at its core.
Services
We offer a considered and flexible service, shaped around each project and client. From early design thinking and planning through to technical development and construction, we remain closely involved at every stage.

Robert Atkinson
Robert established RA-Studio in 2011, following over a decade with Derbyshire based Evans Vettori Architects, where he led projects from concept through to completion. Earlier in his career, he worked with a number of London practices, including Orms and Studio Downie, gaining experience across a wide range of sectors.

Now based in Cornwall, he focuses primarily on high-quality residential projects, with a particular interest in well-crafted, context-led architecture. He enjoys working closely with clients to shape ideas into buildings that feel grounded, personal, and right for their setting.

Collaborators
We regularly collaborate with a trusted network of consultants, drawing on established relationships where they add value to a project. These collaborations bring continuity and experience, supporting a well-considered and coordinated design process.
