Doris Adeney Robertson

Doris Adeney Robertson (née Lewis), Lady Robertson (8 March 1899 – 20 May 1981) was an Australian architect, interior designer and writer, and one of the first generation of professionally trained female architects who studied at the Architectural Association (AA) in London.

[1] Lewis was born in Kew, Victoria, Australia, and went to Presbyterian Ladies’ College, Melbourne, for her education until the age of 18.

Lewis was a contemporary of other early notable women architects at the AA, including Elisabeth Scott.

In July 1927, Lewis married the Principal of the Architectural Association School, the architect Howard Robertson.

Instead of practising as an architect, from the late 1920s she became a notable writer on architecture and worked as an interior designer, including on commissions undertaken by her husband's practice, Easton and Robertson.
