Who
Robin Elmslie Osler established the architectural firm EOA/Elmslie Osler Architect in 1996. Since 2022, she has been a Principal and Creative Director at the global design firm of CRTKL.
Osler comes from a family of Midwestern architects who were instrumental in establishing the foundations of modernist architecture in America. Her grandfather Emil Lorch was the founding Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Michigan. Her great uncle, architect George Elmslie, was a significant figure of the Prairie School, an influential American architecture movement at the turn of the century. Her father, David Osler, had a vibrant and influential practice for over 50 years in the Midwest.
Prior to opening EOA Osler had a successful career in the fashion industry in Europe as a model. She worked with photographer Helmut Newton on campaigns for designers such as Thierry Mugler and Gianni Versace and appeared in campaigns, editorial and fashion shows for Giorgio Armani, Gianfranco Ferre and many others.
She returned from Europe to obtain her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia in 1987 and her Masters of Architecture from Yale University with advanced standing in 1990.
Osler has held faculty positions at Syracuse University, Parsons School of Design, Yale University, Pratt Institute and City College of the City of New York.
She is licensed in the State of New York and is certified by the National Council of Architectural Review Boards. She is a LEED accredited professional and is fluent in French and Italian.
