RMJM (which originally stood for Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall) is a UK-based international architectural practice^[1] founded in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1956 by Robert Matthew and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall. The first offices of the practice were its headquarters in Edinburgh, and another in London. Today there are also offices in Bangkok, Beijing, Cambridge, Dubai, Glasgow, Hong Kong, Moscow, Shanghai, and Singapore.

The practice, at least initially, designed in a very functional modern style. Although not a specialist practice, it is especially known for its work in the higher education sector, including the entire campuses for the University of Stirling and University of York.

In June 2007, RMJM and Hillier Architecture merged, forming a 1200 person “super-studio” that delivers holistic architectural solutions around the world. RMJM’s U.S. operations, RMJM Hillier, are based in New York City.
