The RMAD Story

Robert Mann Architecture and Design Pty Ltd (formally known as Robert Mann Design Pty Ltd) was founded in 2011 within the pristine environment of Sydney’s Blue Mountains. Prior to this Robert had been practicing as sole practitioner since 2008.

Our design studio serves the architectural needs of Sydney from the beaches to the ranges, and beyond.

We specialise in providing sustainable luxurious living, both new residences – single dwelling and side-by-side duplex, as well as alterations and additions to existing homes.

Our past projects range from traditional lofts and cabins, historically sensitive alterations, contemporary dwellings and expansive luxurious homes. These project have utilised many traditional, sustainable and innovative building products and systems in order to achieve practical living and sustainable design.

With my wife, Ellen, we have also personally built two homes within the Blue Mountains and are in the process of completing our third in 2022. We have experience in designing homes for Flame Zone (FZ) Bushfire rating, and also for all types of slope constraints.
