Fynn is looking for a talented Senior Architect
Fynn is looking for a talented Senior Architect to lead and deliver high-quality private homes across all RIBA stages, including interiors. We’re seeking someone with a thoughtful design approach and a strong portfolio of UK private residential work, particularly projects involving heritage homes.
This is either full-time or four days per week, ideal if you teach or have other practice/personal commitments. The position is remote or studio-based with highly flexible working options, however applicants must live in London.
About Fynn
We are a small RIBA-chartered architecture and interiors practice led by Theo Jones. We specialise in sustainable renovations and extensions to heritage homes in London. We value clarity, sustainability, and ethical practice. We have a team of four, all of whom are senior architects.
Our work focuses on creating high-quality, low-impact homes. We enjoy working with natural materials, historic fabric, and skilled craftspeople. We support private clients through all RIBA stages, developing clear, well-considered proposals that balance design quality with buildability. As Islington architects, we typically work on projects in nearby areas such as Angel, Canonbury, Highbury, Clerkenwell, and Barnsbury.
We operate with strong ethical principles, from the clients we choose to work with, to the materials we specify, and how we treat our employees and collaborators. We offer industry-leading holiday policies, pay transparency, paid CPD time, and paid overtime.
