ByOthers is seeking an architectural assistant to join its team in London. Join a small, design‑led studio in Peckham working across the arts, community projects, small sites and country estates – with real responsibility from day one.
About the role
You’ll be involved across all stages of projects, from early feasibility and concept design through to planning and delivery. This is not a production role – you’ll be expected to think, test ideas and take responsibility.
Current work includes:

* retrofit and sustainability‑focused schemes
About you

You should be:
* a confident and thoughtful designer
* self‑motivated and able to take initiative
* comfortable working across multiple projects
* interested in sustainability, reuse and low‑impact design
* interested in the arts and creative collaboration
* keen to be part of a growing practice, not just employed by one
Key skills:
* strong design ability from concept through to developed proposals
* ability to test ideas through sketching, modelling and iteration
* clear communication and presentation skills
* confidence working independently and within a team
* strong organisational skills and ability to manage deadlines
Required experience:
* Part 2 qualification (UK or equivalent)
* experience in a UK‑based practice
* strong proficiency in Rhinoceros 3D and AutoCAD (essential)
* experience with Adobe Suite
* understanding of UK planning processes
* excellent spoken and written English
What we offer:
* flexible working hours
* work from home Fridays
* relaxed, friendly studio in Peckham
* collaborative working environment
* real responsibility and project ownership
* competitive salary (dependent on experience)
