Architect or Part 2 Architectural Assistant – Studio M R

Studio M R, an award-winning practice based in Kentish Town, London, is looking for an architect or a Part 2 architectural assistant to join its studio full time.

The role

The new team member will be involved from early design through technical development and construction, working closely with the studio, clients, consultants and contractors. As a small, collaborative office, the studio wants someone who contributes across different parts of a project rather than one stage.

• Experience across all RIBA stages and in producing detailed construction information (desirable, not essential for Part 2)
• Coordinating consultants and contractors and communicating with clients (for the architect role)
• An interest in materials, craftsmanship and resolved detailing; experience with high quality residential, refurbishment and existing buildings is particularly valuable
• Eligibility to work in the UK

What the studio offers

• A competitive salary and career development
• Support towards ARB / RIBA Part 3 through mentoring and project involvement
• One paid wellbeing day every month, social events and educational outings
• Time to attend lectures, exhibitions and design events

To apply, send a CV and a concise portfolio to [email protected]; architect applicants should show their own contribution to design development, detailing and delivery.
