About us

McAdam Architects is an architectural practice, established by Tanya Kalinina and James McAdam in 2002.

The practice has experience on a diverse range of projects including - private houses and apartments, refurbishments and conversions, residential settlements, office buildings and interiors, retail centres, arts and cultural buildings, and large scale urban planning.

Our studio is based in London but we work without geographical limit. To-date we have completed projects in the UK, Russia, France and Israel.

The focus is on creating long-term value through high quality well-worked design solutions, with emphasis on providing thoughtful architecture and on pushing the boundaries of design and planning.

We enjoy interesting and complicated requirements and locations – from refurbishment and conversion of existing buildings to complex urban infill sites and city-scale development plans.

The partners are involved in teaching and seminars, debate and discourse, initiatives and other professional activities around architecture.

In 2014 both of the partners completed PhDs on the Practice Research Program at RMIT University.
