Part II Architectural Assistant Role Summary
Luxury High-End Residential | Prime Residential Projects | North London | Permanent, Full-Time
HAUS Careers is proud to be working with a highly respected North London architecture studio to recruit a talented Part II Architectural Assistant with a passion for beautifully crafted luxury residential design.
This established, design-led practice has built an exceptional reputation for delivering bespoke private homes across the UK. Known for its thoughtful approach, technical precision, and refined aesthetic, the studio creates timeless family residences tailored to some of the country’s most discerning private clients.
This is an exciting opportunity for a design-conscious and technically capable Part II to develop their experience within a collaborative and highly detail-oriented environment, working across exceptional new-build and refurbishment projects.
About the Studio

The studio offers a social and supportive atmosphere with excellent transport connections, genuine progression opportunities, and hybrid working available following probation.
The Role
You’ll support senior architects across multiple high-end residential projects through a variety of RIBA stages, contributing to both design development and technical delivery.
The role offers excellent exposure to complex private residential commissions, including concept design, technical packages, planning presentations, and consultant coordination.
