This is an exciting opportunity for an Urban Designer to join a growing and dynamic team of architects and urban designers focused on delivering visionary projects in emerging markets across the EMEA region.
Founded five years ago, the practice has already completed over 30 projects, specialising in urban design, regeneration, masterplanning, and large-scale building developments. The team’s core strength lies in concept design, visioning, and early design stages—they do not deliver construction-phase services, making this a truly design-led studio.
We’re looking for a creative, collaborative, and proactive designer who thrives in agile environments and has a strong interest in working within developing economies. This role suits individuals who are keen to step away from large, hierarchical structures and instead contribute to shaping and growing a young, ambitious practice.
