rak architecture was established by Robert Keefe in May 2013. Prior to setting up rak, Robert held senior director roles for over 12 years in a few architectural practices, including a Senior Design Lead in the Transportation Sector at BDP, and Design Director at Sheppard Robson.

Before embarking on an architectural career, Robert trained and worked as a sculptor for a number of years. This still influences his enthusiasm for 'making', material, and detail in every aspect of work in the practice.
