Job description

About the role

We are seeking a detail-oriented Architect / Interior Designer to take ownership of the visual integrity and aesthetic upkeep of our development. Unlike a traditional construction-phase role, this position focuses on the continuous curation, styling, and maintenance of the property post-build. You will serve as the guardian of the development's design language—ensuring that all interior spaces, tropical landscapes, and exterior site conditions consistently reflect a standard of quiet luxury and cohesive design.
