Overview
We are hiring a Project Architect / Senior Architect / Senior Technologist to join our growing team in southwest London.
We are an award-winning architecture, interior design, and project management studio specialising in high-end residential design and delivery. From concept to completion, we create homes of lasting quality for discerning clients, blending creativity with technical rigour and commercial insight.
With a strong pipeline of luxury projects across London, we are looking for an experienced, hands-on architect who can help lead the studio’s design team – driving both project excellence and studio performance at this exciting stage in our growth.
About you
You are a confident, organised architect with strong leadership experience in high-end residential projects. You are as comfortable running projects as you are supporting others to do the same – mentoring junior staff, managing internal resources, and helping improve processes.
You combine creativity with a commercial mindset, understand the demands of HNW and UHNW clients, and have a clear grasp of how to maintain project profitability while delivering outstanding results. You lead with clarity, communicate with warmth and authority, and thrive in a fast-paced, design-led environment.
