We’re not your typical architect and build firm
We’re a small (but mighty) design and build practice located just off the culinary capital of London, Brick Lane – (perk one of working with us!)
Our approach is simple. We make home renovations easier, smarter and more joyful. We bring architectural design and construction together from day one, with a clear process and transparent pricing that removes the usual friction.
We care about the long term. We design homes that perform better, are easier to live in and use resources responsibly.
We’re looking for people who want to build work they’re proud of and be part of a tight, ambitious team. We want our clients to love waking up in their homes. We want our team to feel the same way about coming to work.
Open roles
Our values
We sat down together to define our values, and they’re more than just words. They guide how we work with clients and with each other. We ask all prospective candidates to read them because, simply put, they matter a lot to us.
In fact, we also ask clients to understand them too, because when everyone shares the same mindset, the entire renovation journey becomes a calmer, smoother, and more enjoyable experience.
What it’s like to work here
Collaborative and Supportive
You will work with people who listen and communicate clearly, whether that’s on site, in design reviews, or with clients. We celebrate each others achievements and face challenges together.
Craft‑Focused
We focus on quality at every stage, from concept through delivery. Your contribution will shape how a home feels and works, not just how it looks.
Learning and Growth
We encourage development through real projects, regular feedback, and shared problem‑solving. We also encourage career development through exams and support you (not just from the top level down) but across the team so you have a really enriching learning experience.
We also have a clear career growth trajectory for our team, with support, feedback, and the chance to take on more responsibility as you develop.
Sensible Sustainability
We design homes that perform better, that are easier to live in, and that respect natural resources but it’s something we all take seriously inside the office and on-site too. We like to cut our carbon footprint by train-ing or cycling where possible (almost always the easier choice in London!)
How We Hire
We keep our recruitment process simple and respectful of your time. We value expertise and experience, but what matters most is the right fit. That’s why we take the time to understand who you are, how you work, and how you could thrive with us. We want to make sure it’s a match that works for both sides, so when you join, you’re set up to do your best work and enjoy being part of the team.
