Associate Architect | High End Private Residential

Associate Architect, High End Private Residential

This is an established, design led studio working for private clients. Almost all of its work comes through word of mouth: returning clients, interior designers and consultants recommend it. Projects rarely start below £2.5m. Recent schemes are £3m and upwards, and one live project is well over £10m. Most of the work is sensitive remodelling of existing and period houses, and the studio is now taking on complex new builds as well, including a very large countryside house.

The studio has two Associates and is growing. They need a third to share the leadership of a busy pipeline. You will run projects with very little supervision once feasibility is agreed, and you will be the main contact for clients who expect to be led by a qualified architect.

• Driving projects forward with consultants and contractors
• Turning feasibility studies round quickly, typically in about two weeks
• Supporting and developing the wider team

• ARB registration
• A long, sustained track record in high end domestic residential, rather than a mix of commercial and residential
• Hands on experience across all RIBA stages, not just one or two
• Projects of £2.5m to £10m and above, ideally including existing and period housing stock
• New build experience at this level is a real advantage
• Calm, confident and excellent with clients, and happy working at pace in a small studio
