HAUS Careers is representing a design-led architectural studio looking for an experienced Project Architect to work on beautifully detailed, high-end private homes across the Home Counties and selected projects further afield.

This is a growing practice with a strong design identity and an impressive portfolio of bespoke new-build and heritage residential schemes. The team is collaborative, ambitious and quietly confident in its approach — balancing considered architecture with practical delivery.


The Role

You will lead your own residential projects across all RIBA stages, from early concept through to completion on site. The role offers genuine autonomy, within a supportive and design-focused team.

  • Run projects independently across all RIBA stages

  • Develop and deliver high-quality architectural solutions

  • Coordinate consultants, contractors and specialist suppliers

  • Attend client meetings and site visits as required

  • Ensure strong technical delivery and attention to detail

This is a hybrid position, with 2–3 days per week in the Hambleden studio, alongside site and client meetings depending on project needs.


About You

  • ARB-qualified Architect with strong UK residential experience

  • Proven ability to manage projects independently

  • Excellent technical knowledge and detailing skills

  • Strong working knowledge of Vectorworks or AutoCAD

  • Confident communicator, organised and self-motivated

  • Comfortable working flexibly and taking initiative

Experience on high-end private residential projects in the UK is essential.

We’re also open to hearing from experienced Technicians or newly qualified Architects with strong technical ability and site experience.

Most importantly, you’ll bring a proactive, ‘can-do’ attitude and a sense of humour. This is a studio where people genuinely enjoy working together — and they’re looking for someone who will add to that culture.


Why Join?

  • Thoughtful, design-led private residential projects

  • Hybrid flexibility built on trust

  • A supportive and ambitious studio environment

  • Opportunity to grow with an expanding practice

  • A countryside studio setting within reach of London

If you’re looking for autonomy, beautifully crafted projects and a studio that values both design integrity and team culture, we’d love to hear from you.
