London
You’ve delivered on high-end London projects and you’re ready for more: deeper responsibility, hands-on delivery, and the satisfaction of seeing complex work through on-site. Here’s why this role is different… Join a medium-sized, multiple award-winning Central London studio with the perfect balance: big enough to deliver £20m-£300m city-centre projects, focused enough that every architect takes visible ownership. This is a confidential appointment on a career-defining prime scheme now on-site. You’ll be hands-on, trusted, and close to decisions that matter. The immediate project (confidential): • Prime London landmark: a historically significant building undergoing a contemporary transformation - complex fabric interfaces, conservation control, and exacting standards from a world-class end user., • Architecture × interiors: gallery-grade environments, refined workplace, and luxury accommodation demanding spatial clarity, environmental performance, and high-end finishes., • Delivery in the spotlight: RIBA Stage 4-5 with fast decisions, live site coordination and high accountability. Expect mock-ups, samples and prototyping (stone, metals, timber, lighting) with specialist trades., • Technical depth: stringent acoustic, lighting, security and climate requirements; intricate MEP integration; heritage constraints; complex fire and access strategies through existing fabric., • Stakeholder intensity: daily coordination with tier-one consultants, contractor teams and client reps - quality, programme and change control managed with precision., • Portfolio impact: work you can point to - ownership, a built project, and resolved architecture that stands up to close scrutiny. What you’ll do: • Take ownership of key Revit packages at RIBA Stage 4/5, coordinating architecture, structure and MEP, • Coordinate day-to-day with the consultant/contractor teams and resolve issues with pace and accountability., • Produce robust technical information, details and schedules that stand up on site and through QA., • Drive design quality at the intersection of architecture and interiors - spatial resolution, joinery and material interfaces that elevate the whole scheme., • Balance heritage and fabric constraints with contemporary performance, buildability and programme. You’ll thrive if you have: • Strong prime London experience on high-end, design-led projects (mixed-use, cultural, hospitality or luxury residential)., • Proven Revit experience (essential) and confidence delivering at RIBA Stage 5., • An eye for craft and materiality - the intersection between architecture and interiors., • Autonomy and ownership: proactive coordination, clear reporting, and calm communication skills. Why this studio? • A melting pot of leading architects from top-tier practices, blending concept pedigree with proven delivery., • A portfolio rich in high-end and complex city-centre work, with additional confidential prime/luxury projects in the pipeline., • Potential diversification to cultural and international projects., • Leadership that expects high standards and gives real responsibility - your work will be seen, not hidden.
