PROJECT ARCHITECT / EXPERIENCED PII

We’re looking for a Project Architect or Experienced PII to join our London studio, someone who’s excited by ambitious projects and thoughtful design. If you love diving into beautiful details, exploring materials, and pushing fabrication in new directions, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll have around 10 years’ experience post-graduation, and the ability leading teams from concept to completion, ideally within a design-led international practice. You’ll bring strong design instincts, a curious mind, and a deep passion for how things are put together.
We’re looking for someone who not only thinks conceptually but also knows how to deliver. You should have proven experience coordinating internal and external design teams, managing information flow, and guiding projects through construction. You’ll feel confident producing high-quality technical packages and leading others to do the same, ensuring the work meets all relevant regulations and the requirements needed to build with clarity and craft.

In this role, you will work across all RIBA stages, sometimes leading an entire project and at other times taking responsibility for specific packages of work. You’ll collaborate closely with clients and consultants, mentor the team, and help shape projects that are both inventive and beautifully made.

If you’re energised by experimentation, bespoke detailing, and making new ideas happen, we’d love to meet you.

 

PART II ARCHITECTURAL ASSISTANT

We’re on the lookout for a passionate and ambitious Part II Architectural Assistant to join our London studio. If you love design, get excited about experimenting with materials, new ways of making and building things, and want to be part of a team that’s always pushing design further, you’ll feel right at home here.

You’ll get to work on all kinds of projects at many different stages, so there’s plenty of room to explore, grow, and dive into the parts of the process that excite you. We invite curiosity, collaboration, and provide the opportunity to shape real work.

We’re after someone proactive, open, and eager to learn. Someone who enjoys sharing ideas, jumping into design conversations, and creating beautiful architectural drawings and visuals. You should feel confident in Rhino, Revit, Enscape or D5 (or similar), and the Adobe Creative Suite. Grasshopper experience is a bonus. We’re fast-paced, energetic, and we work closely as a team, so being adaptable and collaborative really matters.

If you’ve got around five years’ experience after graduation and want to be part of a studio where you can grow, experiment, and take on real responsibility as you go, we’d love to meet you.
