Allan Murray Architects

AMA Studio (formerly Allan Murray Architects) is an Edinburgh, Scotland based practice of award-winning Architects and Urbanists. Formed in 1992 (32 years ago) (1992),[1] it has a substantial body of work in the Scottish capital.

In recent years the modern nature of some of its designs has attracted criticism since it is not perceived to "fit" with Edinburgh's current architecture.[2] Some commentators, including Magnus Linklater have even questioned whether too many buildings in Edinburgh have been designed by the firm.[3]

In 2010 the Hotel Missoni in Edinburgh (now the Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh) designed by the firm was awarded a Special Award for Scotland by the Civic Trust Awards.[4] Hotel Missoni also won an RIBA Award in 2010.[5]

In April 2020, the company became an employee owned trust.[6]
