My client a globally acclaimed architectural practice, celebrated for its innovative and iconic designs, is seeking an exceptional Project/Senior Architect to join its dynamic London studio.

This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in the design and delivery of large-scale, complex cultural projects, including state-of-the-art museums and captivating performance spaces.
