We're working with an award-winning architectural practice renowned for delivering exceptional prime and super-prime residential projects for private clients. The practice has built an outstanding reputation for combining exceptional design with technical excellence, creating bespoke homes of the very highest quality. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience within a practice recognised for its exceptionally high standards of design, technical detailing and craftsmanship.
They are currently seeking a Part I Architectural Assistant to join their team as soon as possible on an initial contract basis. You'll gain valuable experience within London's prime residential sector, working on some of the country's finest bespoke homes. The initial contract is expected to run for approximately 2–3 months, with the possibility of extension as the practice's project workload develops. This role will particularly suit a graduate who enjoys the technical side of architecture and wants to develop their skills working on beautifully crafted, bespoke residential projects, rather than focusing solely on conceptual design.
The Role
Working alongside experienced Architects and Technologists, you'll provide technical support on a number of high-end residential projects, contributing to the production of detailed drawing packages and helping to coordinate information through the technical stages of design.
