The Role
We’re working with an award-winning, design-led and sustainability-focused architecture practice that is looking to appoint a Senior Architect as a priority hire due to continued project pipeline growth.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can contribute immediately, working across both design and delivery on predominantly UK-based projects. The practice operates at a human scale, with a strong emphasis on housing, residential, community and cultural work,alongside selective commercial projects.
You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team with a flat hierarchy, where collaboration, initiative, and cultural fit are genuinely valued. There is real scope to grow with the practice and become involved in wider studio operations over time.

- Able to hit the ground running with minimal ramp-up
Working Environment
- Hybrid working from day one
- Office-based: Tuesday–Thursday

The studio culture is design-driven, community-focused, and values-led, with progression based on contribution rather than titles.
