0 The Studio Founded in 2011 by Tim Ratliff and Tam Landells, the studio takes a progressive approach to its architectural practice. At RL-a, we believe in the transformative power of design to shape a better world, with our work guided by core studio principles that encompass our design and building processes. With a focus on innovation and a commitment to regeneration, we specialise in designing bespoke architectural solutions that seamlessly blend functionality, sustainability, and aesthetic beauty.

Founded on the principles of collaboration and creativity, our multidisciplinary team brings together diverse expertise to tackle projects of varying scales and complexities. From high-end residential developments to commercial spaces and cultural institutions, we approach each project with a progressive viewpoint and the purpose of creating timeless designs. Our ethos is rooted in a deep appreciation for the environment and its profound effect on individuals and communities alike.

We understand that great architecture goes beyond structures; it is about creating meaningful experiences, nurturing connections, and enriching lives. Whether it's integrating passive design principles, harnessing renewable energy sources, or championing inclusive design, we strive to create spaces that not only inspire, but also nourish and endure. At RL-a, our mission is simple: to create architecture that stands the test of time, elevates the human experience, and leaves a lasting legacy for many generations to come.

Tam has been in practice for over 20 years, establishing their own practice in 2011. In that time, they have delivered more than 30 projects concentrating on the residential sector, with experience working with schools, arts organisations and community groups. They have served as Director of Resort Studios, sat on the South-East Committee, Architects Declare and have delivered EU Interreg capital projects in partnership with Kent County Council.
