Current projects range from boutique schemes in continental Europe to larger PIF and luxury schemes across the Middle East.

* a strong portfolio in recent EMEA hospitality architecture, focused on early design stages
* experience working directly with clients and managing a creative architecture team
* a deep passion for the design & creative process, pushing the boundaries of international hospitality architecture and like-minded sectors
* currently working at the Associate Director or Design Director level, with the hunger to join a Tier 1 studio
There is a great next step in the evolution for this role, becoming the key Creative Director for the global hospitality studio, so those Design Directors who have hit a ceiling yet looking to expand are encouraged to apply.
The studio have a very strong \"people first\" culture and being an international firm, renowned for excellent compensation packages. The base salary will sit around the £80-90,000, yet with bonus taking this considerably into the six figures.
