ROMA Design Group is an interdisciplinary firm of architects, landscape architects, and urban planners based in San Francisco, California, USA. It was founded in the 1940s by American architect George Rockrise.
ROMA Design Group was founded in the late 1940s by George Rockrise, an architect with a strong interest in landscape and site design who began his career in California working for the landscape architect Thomas Dolliver Church.
Between 1960 and 1980, Rockrise expanded the firm to include Bob Odermatt, Bob Mountjoy, and Jim Amis as Principals.
In the 1980s Boris Dramov, Bonnie Fisher, and Jim Adams became Principals, having met at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Jim Adams later went on to open ROMA's offices in Austin, Texas.
In 2000, ROMA's design for the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C. was selected as the winning submission in an international architectural design competition.
The firm is currently under the leadership of Boris Dramov, FAIA, FAICP, Design Principal and Bonnie Fisher, FASLA, Landscape Principal
Since the 1950s ROMA Design Group has become known for a wide variety of architecture projects, including San Francisco's Cathedral School, the Bahrain's U.S. Embassy in Manama, the Domaine Chandon Winery in Yountville, California, Oregon's Sun River Resort, and the Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay.
