We are hiring – Architect


Based out of the Merchant City in Glasgow, our award-winning studio are actively delivering projects across the UK, and abroad, designing the future whilst sensitive to the past. We’re engaged in everything from town centre regeneration, city centre mixed use development, conservation retrofit, regional headquarters, small scale office fit-out, Passivhaus, to the precious detail of the private dwelling.

 

Projects of note include Angel Gardens, Manchester; Shawlands Town Centre Regeneration; BT Regional Headquarters, Dundee; and the redevelopment of the former ABC O2 on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow.

 

As Architects our approach is design led, as consultants it is service focused through our investment in people. We aspire to create a studio with the sensibility of a ‘community’, breaking down hierarchy to allow anyone, regardless of experience or role, to offer comment and idea enriching our design process. We encourage the minority voices and the disruptors to speak up and be heard through co-creation.

 

Our goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what we have, nor to hire people who just need a job; our goal is to invest in people who believe in and share our ambition.

 

We are looking to add to our dynamic and ambitious team with motivated and talented Architects of 3-5 years post Part III and with project delivery experience.
