The foundations of our work are in the traditions and classical underpinnings of history-along with the Modernist innovations of our day. This serves us well in designing new-construction projects as well as adaptations and restorations of older houses. Robert Bruce Dean brings a unique background to his practice, combining substantial work as a practicing architect with scholarly credentials in design history and experience in directly managing construction work. After sharpening his design skills by working for noted architects and firms such as Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Philip Johnson, and Robert A.M. Stern, he started Robert Dean Architects in 1986.
We think of ourselves as academic architects of the old school, with a philosophy that demands an intimate knowledge of the history of architecture and a willingness to use style skillfully and respectfully in the design of each building project. We do not seek out a "signature style"; instead we use stylistic themes rigorously, to create buildings that respond to the historical, physical, and environmental contexts into which they must be placed. At the same time, canons of form and proportion are studied to make rooms and places that are inherently beautiful while being easy to live in.
