ByOthers is seeking a Part 1 architectural assistant to join its team in Peckham, London.
Join a small, design-led studio in Peckham working across the arts, community projects, small sites and country estates – with real responsibility from day one.
We are a design-led practice working across the arts, community projects, small sites and country estates. Our work ranges from creative collaborations and cultural spaces to inventive housing, one-off dwellings and listed buildings. We’re particularly interested in retrofit and sustainability-led design, and in projects that require careful thinking, resourcefulness and a strong design voice.
We’re a small, collaborative studio. No egos, no passengers. Everyone contributes, everyone learns, and everyone helps shape both projects and the direction of the practice.
About the role
This is an opportunity to gain experience across all stages of projects within a small and hands-on studio environment.
You’ll be involved in:
- feasibility studies and concept design
- planning applications and visual material
- model making, drawing packages and presentations
- arts and community projects
- small site housing and infill developments
- projects within country estates and sensitive rural settings
- retrofit and sustainability-focused schemes
We’re looking for someone enthusiastic, thoughtful and eager to learn.
About you
You should be:
- a strong designer with a good eye and curiosity about architecture
- proactive and willing to take initiative
- comfortable working across multiple projects
- interested in sustainability, reuse and low-impact design
- interested in the arts and creative collaboration
- excited by working within a small studio environment
We value attitude and ambition as much as experience.
Required skills:
- Part 1 qualification (UK or equivalent)
- strong proficiency in Rhinoceros 3D and AutoCAD (essential)
- experience with Adobe Suite
- strong model-making, drawing and presentation skills
- excellent spoken and written English
What we offer:
