Job Description

We are partnering with a Warwickshire architectural studio to assist with their growth. Due to a period of fortunate project wins, they are seeking to strengthen their design team and are recruiting for experienced Architects. The schemes are extremely high-end residential so previous demonstrable skills in this sector are essential.

The business is an award-winning architectural practice situated in the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, providing a full architectural service to residential, commercial, and community clients and projects.

The studio’s understanding of architecture and the built environment has been particularly informed by the team’s combined experience, working with existing structures. They will often repair, alter and remould, enhancing a building and site, according to its physical settings and context.

An appreciation and experience of how the form and mass of buildings influence human environments informs and is central to the team’s approach to crafting and introducing new interventions.

The aim is to improve and enhance where people live, through design and structure. Their design and build solutions are as inventive, innovative, enthusiastic and ambitious, as they are considered.

And this service is not restricted to the studio’s bespoke and individual clients. The philosophy and expertise has proven commercial viability, also adding value and distinctive quality to more economically scaled projects.
