Residential Architect - Immediate Start Available

Residential teams are busy again, and the ones worth joining want someone who can turn concept into coordinated drawings without hand-holding. This is a residential Architect role on a hybrid basis in London, starting as soon as you can. The practice needs someone fluent in Revit who already works day to day across RIBA Stages 3 and 4. You are joining a large, long-established London studio of more than 200 designers, working on residential schemes alongside wider workplace, hospitality and mixed-use projects.

The focus here is design and delivery: taking schemes through developed and technical design, producing the model and the detail, and holding quality as the drawings firm up. The Practice * You work from the London studio along the Northern Line, a three-floor space with breakout areas, a communal hub and cyclist facilities. * Teams are director-led without rigid sector silos, so you gain breadth across building typologies. The Work

  • You work on residential schemes, set within a wider portfolio of workplace, hospitality and mixed-use projects.
  • You take designs through RIBA Stages 3 and 4, from developed design into technical design.
  • You produce coordinated models and detailed drawings using Revit as the primary BIM platform. You make regular site visits to understand the practical and technical sides of each project.
  • You help hold design quality as schemes move from concept to construction information. What You Need
  • You are an ARB-registered Architect using the recognised title.
  • You have hands-on Revit experience and can model and detail in it from day one.
  • You are experienced across RIBA Stages 3 and 4.
  • You are available to start immediately or up to one month notice period.
  • You are comfortable in a studio that runs four days in the office with one day remote.
  • Experience across residential projects would be preferred. The Offer
  • Hybrid working, four days in the office and one day remote.
  • ARB and RIBA annual retention fees are paid by the practice.
  • A nine-year in-house mentoring programme is open to all staff.
  • Monthly software training, regular BIM CPDs and on-demand BIM support.
  • A cycle-to-work scheme, employee referral scheme and a travel card loan. Worth knowing before you apply: the studio wants an immediate start, however, the studio can work with a one month notice period. The office is four days a week, not a remote-first setup. Here is what makes it worth the move. You get residential work inside a studio with real depth behind it: an in-house BIM team, a materials library and a model-making facility on site, plus the variety of a practice that runs workplace, hospitality and mixed-use alongside its homes. It is a place built for doing the work well.
