We started RDA in 2003, full of the optimism and enthusiasm that typified the fledgling years of the new millennium. It is astonishing that in what seems like the blinking of an eye, over 150 commissions and 10 years have passed by. A decade on, RDA retains that initial enthusiasm and remains eternally optimistic, galvanised by the experience of what, in a challenging decade for architecture, has been equivalent to “training at altitude”. We hesitate to say it, but somewhere on that journey we appear to have crossed an invisible line which suggests that we have also become “established”. In celebration of our 10th birthday and in recognition of the clients, colleagues and in particular the talented people we have been fortunate enough to have as part of the RDA team, we felt we should mark the occasion. We settled upon this simple retrospective, choosing 10 of our favourite RDA schemes. Not necessarily the biggest, although there are some significant schemes amongst them, but those that we collectively feel best represent the wide variety of work that forms our now considerable back catalogue. We have named the document “Ten out of Ten” primarily because we set ourselves the task of choosing only 10 schemes from the first 10 years of Russ Drage Architects. However, it also summarises the level of energy and effort we put into every commission large or small, architecture, masterplanning or urban design. front cover - The Atlanta Cafe, Clacton-on-Sea
