dRMM’s greatest success is our team

Since the studio’s inception, dRMM has been an ambassador for women in architecture. We are proud to have gender equality in every aspect of our operations and at all levels of employee progression.

We would like to see an architecture industry that better represents the makeup of society as a whole. dRMM is committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background.

We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in architecture and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; transgender people, people with disabilities, people who idenitfy as working class and people who identify as being LGBTQIA+.

We are a practice partner of the London School of Architecture, who seek to widen participation in architectural education by providing a cost-neutral model where students study part time in parallel with undertaking a paid work placement, helping them avoid building up costly student debt that creates a barrier to many potential students from underrepresented backgrounds.

We also run a programme of apprenticeships, mentorships, work placements and paid internships targeted at historically excluded groups to build new pathways for less represented applicants to reach both entry and more senior roles within the industry.

We focus on empowerment within practice, creating a work model that both supports and educates team members. Our regular in-house learning and external activities guarantee our team feels encouraged and nurtured in their work environment. We value balance, promoting flexibility in work patterns as a means to enable personal development and progression for all. We prioritise physical and mental wellbeing, encouraging an active work week including yoga lessons, an informal running squad and regular team football matches. Most importantly, we enjoy each other’s company and cherish the opportunity to add new faces to our talented, tight-knit and fun-loving team.
