This is a growing practice with a strong local reputation for high-end residential and boutique commercial projects. Over 50% of the workload is local; with clients who value design and have the budgets to make it happen.

The portfolio includes everything from bespoke homes to bars, salons, coffee shops and high end residential projects

• Work variety – from high-end resi to commercial interiors, every project is different
• Work on every stage - see full projects from concept to completion, frequently!
• Flexibility & balance – they understand life happens, and support a healthy work-life balance
• Small team environment – you’ll get real responsibility and the chance to shape projects, not just draft details
• Project Running - you'll be able to lead on multiple projects while being supported by the business as you continue to develop
• Client Facing - consistent meetings with clients as well as taking ownership of the relationships

What we’re looking for

• A qualified Architect (ARB registered)
• Creative and detail-driven, with strong design and technical skills
• Eager to learn, collaborate, and take on responsibility quickly
• Someone who thrives in a close-knit, down-to-earth team

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and want to work somewhere that values people, creativity, and hands-on experience, we’d love to hear from you.
