Don’t know where to begin with a career portfolio?
In this Open Studio by :scale, hosted at RDA Architects, Part 2 students and graduates are invited to present a selection of their work and gain feedback and support with their applications.
Additionally, you will be able to network with and learn more about the practice.
This Open Studio is only open to new participants and students and graduates who have recently completed their MArch/Part 2 or will be graduating this year. Bringing a printed, physical copy of a sample portfolio is required.
Almost 30 years ago, Richard Dudzicki founded RDA Architects with a vision to transform how people perceive and experience their homes. Even before achieving Passivhaus certification in 2010, the practice was pioneering eco-friendly and sustainable home design, setting new benchmarks for healthier, more energy-efficient living.
Over the years, RDA has completed more than 300 projects within the Dulwich Estate and beyond, delivering innovative designs across London. Each project reflects our commitment to sustainability, design excellence, and environmental responsibility. From bespoke residential homes to commercial and community-focused developments, we continue to fulfil our mission by creating spaces that enhance the way people live and work.
In 2016, we moved to our current home in the leafy heart of East Dulwich. Our office—a transformed Victorian bakery—embodies our ethos of thoughtful design and adaptive reuse. This renovation celebrates our creative process and exemplifies how architecture can breathe new life into existing spaces.
Today, RDA Architects is a RIBA-chartered practice with a reputation for innovation and collaboration. We remain passionate about designing buildings that are sustainable, inspiring, and deeply connected to the people and communities they serve.
