Dunham Robinson is an architecture and interiors studio providing comprehensive design services for projects that demand careful planning and precise execution. The practice is led by architect Rachel Robinson and structural engineer Michael Dunham, supported by a collaborative and interdisciplinary team of designers.
Our work brings together architectural clarity, interior detail, and technical rigor to create spaces that are both expressive and deeply functional. We approach each project with a structured, thoughtful process - one that prioritizes clear decision-making, careful coordination, and long-term performance.
Rachel Robinson’s background in architecture and interiors informs a design sensibility rooted in proportion, materiality, and spatial experience. Michael Dunham’s engineering expertise underpins the studio’s approach to documentation, constructability, and technical resolution. Together, their leadership shapes a studio culture defined by rigor, curiosity, and a commitment to well-executed work.
We work across a range of project types and scales, from highly detailed interior environments to ground-up buildings. Our experience with historic structures informs our approach to new construction, allowing us to draw from time-tested principles while addressing contemporary needs. Across all projects, we emphasize durability, clarity, and craft.
We collaborate closely with experienced consultants, fabricators, and construction partners who share our standards for quality and execution. Our clients value our ability to guide complex projects with confidence, combining a refined design approach with practical expertise and steady leadership throughout the process.
