STAC Architecture is hiring a Part 2 or 3 architectural designer/interior designer with hospitality experience to join its team in London, UK.

We are recruiting an experienced architect/interior designer with proven experience in the hospitality/retail sector. This role is seeking someone to join its team in London to work on hospitality projects at a range of scales.

This is a role for independent individuals who wish to design and see their ideas realised and built.

If you are bold, brave and creative and wish to design and deliver beautiful projects, then this role is for you.

Our studio

STAC Architecture is an award-winning and design-oriented studio. Design excellence is at the forefront of everything we do. We focus on innovative thinking, collaborative design and making, constantly pushing the boundary of what is possible within the realms of art, architecture, interiors and product design.

We would, therefore, like to hear from job-running architects/interior designers with a proven track record in hospitality. The successful candidate will be stepping into a design-oriented studio that is on the cusp of significant growth and this new team member will get the opportunity to play an integral role in this transformative phase. Designers at STAC take full concept and design ownership of their projects, giving them a freedom that is rarely found in other studios.
