About Layer 02
Layer 02 is a London-based architectural practice specialising in high-end hospitality interiors. Our work is defined by technical rigour and a refined, minimalist aesthetic. We work on complex, often Grade-listed sites across London, delivering projects that range from Michelin-star restaurants to bespoke boutique hotels.
We are a small, focused team. We value precision, spatial problem-solving, and the ability to translate a clear design concept into a beautifully executed technical reality.
The Role

* Project Delivery: Supporting projects from inception to completion, including planning applications, Licenses to Alter (LTA), and on-site coordination with contractors.
* Visual Communication: Creating high-quality presentations and visualisations to communicate design intent to clients and stakeholders.
Requirements
* Education: Degree in Architecture, Interior Architecture, or Interior Design.
* Experience: Minimum 2 years of professional experience in the UK hospitality or high-end commercial sector.
* Software: You must be proficient in Rhino and Enscape for visualisation is essential.
* Technical Knowledge: A strong understanding of UK Building Regulations and experience working with London heritage and listed building constraints.
* Detail Oriented: A genuine interest in the craft of detailing and a high level of accuracy in technical production.
* Professionalism: Excellent communication skills and the ability to represent the studio in meetings with clients and consultants.
