With such a name, this suave gent just had to design landmarks. University of Westminster educated and Hampshire based Robert Adam (born 1948) followed his more famous namesake (1728 – 1792) and became a designer of “progressive neo-classical style buildings” in 1975. He won “the richest prize in architecture” in January 2017 and counts the Sackler Library at the University of Oxford, a “miniature Baroque mansion” at Eastwood Farm – complete with a lion on the roof – in Herstmonceux, East Sussex and the “KGB proof” Ingliston House on the Wentworth Estate in Surrey amongst his notable works.

His designs for the farmhouse were transformational genius. I love the look he created.
Undoubtedly the finest living architect. My hero.
Pastiche crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Knock them down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Send in the wrecking ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would NOT tolearate such poor constructs in Oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love both houses. Good designer.
I’d never heard of him but having looked at his website I must say I think his style mirrors that of his forbearer (I am assuming they are related). Good taste.
What’s a forbearer?
