Having met at Edinburgh College of Art, Rab Bennetts co-founded Bennetts Associates in 1987 with his partner Denise Bennetts. The practice has since grown to around 80-strong with studios in London, Edinburgh and Manchester, and has won more than 150 awards.
In 2016 the practice became employee owned. Rab takes a personal, hands-on approach to projects and is keen to create a collaborative spirit throughout the practice’s activities. Current projects include the Edinburgh Futures Institute and the Woolwich Creative District in London.
