This award-winning architecture and interior design practice is based in London. It has a long-established reputation for high-end residential and hospitality projects, from luxury private homes to hotels and premium guest venues.

The studio offers hybrid working, with one day a week from home, and a supportive team. It’s a great chance to add well-known hospitality projects to your portfolio over a focused contract.
