Overview
Interior Design Position at CSY Architects
CSY Architects are currently seeking an experienced designer to join our interiors team. The role will primarily involve working on commercial hospitality projects, collaborating with both Interior and Architectural designers across the wider CSY Architects team.
CSY Architects are a design-led practice with four studios in Fife, the Lothians, the Borders, and Northumberland. The practice formed from four existing practices, the oldest established in 1963. Davidson Baxter Partnership (DBP) joined CSY Architects bringing over 40 years of experience in both Architectural and Interiors work on commercial hospitality projects. This remains a substantial part of the practice’s work and we aim to further enhance our capacity to deliver these projects.
This role will service an interesting portfolio of commercial hospitality projects across the UK. The interiors team is based in our Fife studio, but this position may be based in another CSY studio. We provide a streamlined service on projects when offering both Interior Design and Architectural services, so collaboration across team members with a range of qualifications and specialisms is key. While this is an interior design role, we are open to applications from candidates with other qualifications if they have the appropriate expertise and a minimum of three to five years of relevant experience.

A portfolio of real completed projects should be provided when applying.
The role involves supporting Directors and Senior Designers in delivering creative concepts and ideas in response to a client brief, from the initial design stages through to detailed production information and delivery.
