This is a hands-on role for someone who can contribute immediately, working across both design and delivery on predominantly UK-based projects. The practice operates at a human scale, with a strong emphasis on housing, residential, community and cultural work, alongside selective commercial projects.

  • Contribute ideas, initiative, and leadership within a small studio environment

Qualifications

  • ARB-registered Architect
  • Strong UK residential / housing experience (essential)
  • Well-rounded skillset across design and delivery stages
  • Interest or experience in sustainability, retrofit, or heritage is highly desirable
  • Recent proficiency in Archicad is strongly preferred
  • Candidates must be comfortable using Archicad day-to-day
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • Able to hit the ground running with minimal ramp-up

Working Environment

  • Hybrid working from day one
  • Office-based: Tuesday–Thursday
  • WFH: Monday & Friday (subject to project needs)

Benefits

  • Discretionary annual bonus
  • 20 days holiday + bank holidays (increases with tenure)
